An error may occur in TOP Design Studio (TDS) after conversion due to changes and upgrades in functionality.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

 

The special address [_PARM_SAVE], which was previously used to save recipe data, is no longer supported in TOP Design Studio, and therefore results in a conversion error.

 

 

[Solution]
1. Create a Virtual Address
-. Go to [Project] - [Virtual Address] menu.
-. Click [Add], enter a virtual address name, and set the data type to 'BIT'.
   (In this example, the address name is set to "Parameter Upload".)

 

 

 

2. Configure the Recipe Settings
-. Go to [Project] - [Recipe] menu.
-. In the [Move] page, configure [Parameter Download / Parameter Upload].
   1) Parameter Download(HMI -> PLC): Condition to load recipe data into the PLC.
   2) Parameter Upload(PLC -> HMI): Condition to save PLC data as recipe data.

 

 

3. Replace the _PARM_SAVE Address
-. Change the move condition address for [Parameter Upload] from [_PARM_SAVE] to the newly created virtual address [Parameter Upload].

 

4. Assign Target Item Number
-. Enter the item number in the [Target Item Number] field of Parameter Upload.
-. When the move condition is met, the current PLC data is stored as the recipe data for the specified item (block).
