Viewing PLC Status Information
Once VersaPro is connected with the PLC, you can view PLC status information through
the status line at the bottom of the window and through the Status Window dialog box.
When you connect to a PLC, the status line at the bottom of the folder window provides a
summary display of status information.

this information select the PLC menu and choose Status Info, or press F4.
The tabs of the Target Communications Window contain the following information:
•
Memory: Supplies CPU device information, the currently stored program’s name,
and CPU memory usage
•
Date: Allows you to view, change, or synchronize date and time
•
Reference: Displays sizes for all reference tables in the PLC CPU as well as the
status of all point fault references
•
Protection: Displays access level and OEM protection status. Allows you to set
access passwords and OEM key.
•
Sweep: Displays sweep modes and times. When VersaPro is connected, you can set
the Sweep Mode and Constant Sweep Time while the PLC is in RUN mode. This
change will only affect the PLC until it is transitioned to STOP. When the PLC is
returned to RUN mode, the default sweep mode takes effect.
Note:
