The PLC is running and i must not stop it, but i want to get programm with discriptions and save it. I can get programm using "display accessible nodes" but then i can not get discriptions... could any body help me? thanks.

Phantom75 Posts: 2661 Rating: (278)	kanan: As mentioned by Ton Verra, the symbol table is not stored in the PLC. In addition, thefollowing block information is not uploaded: 1. Symbolic block name. 2. Block parameter names. These are substituted by default parameter names. 3. Network comments. 4. Block comments. See the attachment for a clear understanding.

I'm right?

The think is if i do not have(lost) the same program in my laptop which is in PLC but have step7 and i have to make a troubleshooting i will not able to do it??...because i will not undestand what block for what, and what input and output signals used for?? i think it is not normal

On the other hand storing all information on the CPU will consume lot of memory and make it inefficient. It’s a design issue I guess and one has to live with this.
