New CPU Parameters
There are many new components in version 4.02; for example, racks, C7 control systems, or CPUs in the hardware catalog. It is not possible to list all the updates or changes within the scope of this supplement; instead, only the new CPU parameters (which are relevant to the operation of the latest CPUs) are covered:
CPU Parameter | Remarks |
|
|
Test operation/ | Can be set in the ªProtectionº tab. |
process operation | In process operation, debugging functions such as ªprogram |
(see also | statusº or ªmonitoring/modifying variablesº are limited to |
Chapter 9) | prevent the permissible increase in the scan cycle time from |
| being exceeded. For example, call conditions are not |
| permitted in the program status, and the status display for a |
| programmed loop is aborted on return. |
| It is not possible to debug with breakpoints in process |
| operation, nor can you execute a program |
| In test operation, all programming device/PC debugging |
| functions can be used without restriction, including those |
| which result in increases in the scan cycle time. |
|
|
Protection level | Can be set in the ªProtectionº tab. Write access, and read |
| and write access to the CPU can be made dependent on the |
| use of a password. The password is set in this tab. |

Improved Copy Function
If you hold the CTRL key down and select several modules or DP slaves, you can then paste these modules/DP slaves at another location.
Before pasting copied DP slaves, you must select the DP master system to which the DP slaves are to be ªattached.º
