Introduction
After configuring or modifying a configuration of a DTM, the changes must be downloaded to its physical device using Store data to device.
Connectivity Tree
For a connectivity tree it is necessary to:
Store the configuration for each DTM into the corresponding device so that the device works correctly
Build or Rebuild all the Control Expert application and download it to the PLC be able to upload the complete application including all DTM configurations from the PLC binary
The total number of operations equals the number of DTMs stored + 1 download of rebuilt application.
Recovering Connectivity from the PLC Application
If the complete application has been stored in the PLC (ETS option checked), it includes the connectivity of the DTMs.
Uploading the application from the PLC provides the connectivity stored in the PLC. For this, the PC used for uploading must have the corresponding DTMs installed.
Verify that the corresponding configuration is stored in the devices to avoid de-synchronization of the project..
De-synchronization of Project
If a DTM configuration is changed and stored to its device, the application running in the PLC is not updated.
To synchronize the PLC application with the device configuration, rebuild the Control Expert application to take into account the changes and download it to the PLC.
Uploading a binary from a PLC overwrites the configurations of all DTMs in Control Expert applications retrieved from the PLC. Any modifications of the DTM configurations that are not stored in the PLC binary are overwritten by the configuration in the PLC binary and lost.

|---|---|
UNEXPECTED EQUIPMENT OPERATION Do not upload a project from the PLC if any changes have
been made in any devices connected to the PLC since the last build
and download of the project. Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage. | |
