In the basic operation of the PLC, there are several items listed below that need attention:

 The use of secret download

This protects the users' intellectual property, after the use of secret download, the program or data in
PLC will never be able to upload, and the program is unable to be deciphered.

 Stop PLC when PLC reboot

In the instance of a program error, in the run mode you will not be able to communicate, set PLC to
stop mode, then you can re-download the user program and set PLC to run mode.

 Lock/Unlock program

When using the function, first set the user program password, then download, password and program
will download into PLC together. When the user wants to upload, they need to input the password to
unlock the PLC first, and then they can upload.

When the PLC is password protected, it can be re-downloaded with a new user program,. The
password is used to protect a specific user program.

Note: Specific PLC information see P29.
