Detaching/Deleting a functional module

At a Glance

Detaching elements from a functional module consists of cutting the links between a functional module and the associated elements (program elements, animation table and screen).

the Program Units and/or sections contained in the module are not deleted, they are merely detached,
the animation tables associated with the modules are not deleted, they are merely detached from the module,
the screens associated with the modules are not deleted, they are merely detached from the module.

NOTE: These actions are authorized off-line and on-line, with PLC at Stop or in Run.

Introduction to deleting a functional module

Deletion can be carried out in a number of ways:

deleting one or more functional modules without deleting the program elements, animation tables and screens,
deleting one functional module with deletion of the program elements, animation tables and screens,
deleting all the functional modules with deletion of the program elements, animation tables and screens,
deleting one section, a macro-step or an event processing in a functional module.

Deleting one or more functional modules without deleting the program elements, animation tables and screens

To delete a functional module without deleting the program elements and animation tables, you must proceed as follows:

Step	Action
1	From the functional module, detach the module with the Detach all command in the contextual menu. Result: All the elements of the module and the lower level modules are detached.
2	Delete the module(s) by right-clicking (contextual menu) and selecting the Delete command. Note: You must be in off-line mode.

Deleting one functional module with deletion of the modules, animation tables and screens

CAUTION

UNEXPECTED APPLICATION BEHAVIOR

Before deleting a module, ensure that the deletion of the subsequent elements:

the Program Units contained in the module,
the sub-modules contained in the module,
the sections contained in the module,
the associated animation tables,
the associated screens,

has no adverse consequence on the application behavior.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

Carry out the following actions:
