Hi Andrew,

You can only upload a project from the PLC if one has been stored on there, which is not the case by default. It sounds like one is not available so if you want the source code, you’ll need to get it from the original developer.

Thanks, Marcus Mangel,

i used the AS 3.0.30.37.

I have a problem.

I’m download the program to the X20CP0292. after that i can’t upload the program from x20cp0292 plc.

Just as Marcus said, by default you can not upload any code from a PLC if you didn’t specify that it should also store the source code on there. I’d guess you didn’t do that, since you basically ignored that part of Marcus’ reply.

Also, as far as I can tell, AS 3.0.30 is not a thing, do you mean 3.0.90.37 ?

If you want to save the source code to the target on a transfer, you can do so by changing some settings. Go to your Configuration View and right-click on the configuration you’re using. In the box that comes up, go to the Sources tab, and check the “Save project sources on target” box:

Next time you transfer, the Automation Studio project will be saved to the target. You can then open it off of the target by going to File → Open Project From Target in Automation Studio.

A couple of things to keep in mind:

  • This will probably increase the time it takes to transfer, depending on how big your project is and what you include
  • Anyone who connects to this target will be able to get the source code off of it, so be careful if your project has any intellectual property you want to keep secret. Consider adding a password or keeping the PLC behind a firewall

I think this is due to the limited amount of memory. I just tried on a project:

  • X20CP1485-1 (also quite old, but sufficient): dialog will be enabled
  • X20CP0292: Dialog is disabled

Hello,

X20CP0292 is an old SG3 generation which has in general limitations to currend SG4 generation.

Dear Michael W,
As per your suggestion, I also tried changing to a higher model, and it is now selectable successfully.
Thank you very much for your valuable guidance.
