When sending a project, data stored in the display unit's backup SRAM is deleted.
When sending a project, the necessary system programs, protocol programs, and fonts are downloaded to the display unit. The transfer will take a few moments.
Downloads occur in the following cases:
When you perform transfer when the display unit has no data (factory default)
If the system program (Runtime) version stored on the display unit is older than the GP-Pro EX version.
When old versions of protocol programs (drivers) are stored in the display unit, or when project device/PLC settings have been added or changed.
When a font not in the display unit was used in GP-Pro EX.
When a download occurs, the display unit is reset. After restarting, the transferred screens appear.
When the display unit is offline, the project cannot be transferred.
During the transfer, the display unit changes to Transferring mode and communication with devices/PLCs is suspended.
When a problem is found with the system program on the display unit, an error message appears on the display unit. Transfer the project file again.
You cannot transfer the project file to a different model. To perform transfers even between display units, except for GP3200 Series, one of the following conditions must apply.
Models that do not support the control feature.
Models equipped with DIO board
Models with FLEX NETWORK connections
For GP-3300 Series models, when [Revision] is set to Rev*-4 or later, the transfer fails if a model before Revision 4 is used. However, AGP3310T/3360 models can transfer project files regardless of revision.
