5 BASIC OPERATIONS
5.4.4 Offline mode
When merely displaying the already acquired network configuration information,
choosing the offline mode does not make network checks (connection station check,
total station count check) in the options, speeding up a display in the PLC side window.
In the offline mode, you can read and display the saved network configuration
information. (Refer to Section 5.4.3 for reading the network configuration information.)
However, the following functions designed for communications with the PLC CPU are
unusable.
• Write to PLC (paste)
• Read from PLC (copy)
• PLC data deletion
• Network configuration information refresh
• Target setup
• Diagnostics
• Run a related application
(1) Operations in offline mode
Choose the PLC side window and click the [File] - [Offline mode] menu.
"[Offline]" appears
on the title bar.
The "PLC" icon
is displayed red.
To choose the online mode, click the [File]-[Offline mode] menu again.
When you exited from GX Explorer in the offline mode, also start it in the offline
mode next time.
POINT
When the mode is switched between offline and online, the network checks in the
options are executed.
