If you have not been online with AB before and machine running is critical be carfull !!!!!!!!!!
RS232 is a little dodgy !
best bet is via DH+ if the cpu suport DH+
if not wait till machine is not required for 10 minuits and do transfer then via RS232
cheers

Thank you Gremlin
I use SLC5/03 controller it have 2 ports for communication.
Built in DH485 channel and RS232 channel supporting DF1.
I have RS232 cable for computer with serial port.I am not sure
it can be work for upload program.
When upload program I should be select in Run,Remote or Program?
Please advice
Thanks

you will have to configure a driver in RSLinx for DF1 protacol and point it to your comm port,
if you are using df1 you will have to sto the machine to upload
you will b ok with DH+ int wont affect scan times of plc
of usibg DF1 put switch in prog ( be carefull plc will stop and data tables will be reset when you restart)
you cab do it live with no efect on plc with DH+

to incpong22 :

UPLOAD - this mean transfer user program form PLC to PC (PLC keep running)

DOWNLOAD - this mean transfer user program from PC to PLC (PLC must be in PROG mode - this will stopping your program)

You can upload the program no matter in what position is the plc switch (run,rem or prog). The plc will not stop.

Remember, upload is from PLC to PC.
