PLC Programming Changes

PLC Programming Changes

(OP)
Hello,
   How are values changed in a PLC (GE Fanuc 64 micro)
where the changes would automatically be accepted into the program without having to stop the PLC, and not have to download the new data and restart the PLC.
I just want to change a value of a position sensor or value on a move function without having to reload the new data. Is this possible? Am I asking to much of this controller?
 

RE: PLC Programming Changes

With the latest version of hardware(4.0) and software(6.0) you can do "Online" changes with this processor. If yours is a bit older you can change the value of registers and you 'should' be able to do what GE calls a word-for-word change. This will allow you to change a constant value of a timer or counter by selection the constant and typing the new value. Provided that you are not changing the size or scope of the logic and that you have write privileges.
