Note: The CLICK Ethernet CPU modules support the bumpless project transfer. While the CLICK Programming Software is downloading a new project into the CLICK PLC, the PLC keeps running the existing project. Once the project download is completed and there is no error in the new project, the PLC starts executing the new project without pausing (bumpless). If there is an error in the new project, the PLC keeps running the existing project. In the case, system control bit SC30 (_Run Edit Project Error) turns on to indicate the error.

 

Note: If the CLICK PLC is not an Ethernet CPU module, this option is grayed out.

Run Time Edit Confirmation

After clicking OK, a second dialog opens requiring verification that you want to overwrite the project in the PLC.
