parameter values are read from the IOM and updated in the Monitoring database.
The upload operation uploads data for the selected objects from the controller to the Monitoring
Engineering Repository Database (ERDB). Upload of data for the selected objects from the server
to the ERDB also can be performed.
Usually, after performing an upload to the database, you should also update the data to Project so
that both the Monitoring and the Project databases agree.
Refer to Using Upload command in the Control Building Guide for information about uploading.
11.5.2 Update to Project
Update to Project Series C I/O blocks does not differ from update to Project of other Experion
blocks. All loadable parameter values are copied from the Monitoring tab to the Project tab.
11.5.3 Reviewing the Update function
A major part of the hierarchical building, CM/SCM containment allows the user to contain CM(s) or
/SCM(s) into another CM.
If a projected CM/SCM is updated to project:
l All its projected parameters are checked to ensure that the projection chain downwards to the
origin is valid, which includes the validation of both origin parameters and projected
connections.
l Read only connections are not updated to project directly. Only projected connections will be
updated.
l In addition, the Update operation fails for any reason, the projected parameter will remain, but
the origins of the projected parameter will be emptied.
11.5.4 Using IOM Checkpoint
Checkpoint of Series C I/O blocks does not differ from checkpoint of other blocks being
checkpointed.
Refer to Checkpoint Replaces Snapshot in the Control Building Guide to review checkpoint
information.
11.6 Loading a Control Module
All illustrations used in the procedure are for example purposes only.
ATTENTION
Before attempting to load any CM or SCM components, be sure its control chart is not open
in Control Builder.
