List of the repositories with “Location” and “Name”

“Add”

“Edit”

Opens the “Repository Location” dialog (see “Add”)

“Remove ”

A dialog box open, asking whether only the entry should be removed from the list of repositories, or whether the directory with the library files should be deleted from the file system. If you want to delete the directory, you have to confirm this.

List of the libraries in a tree structure. Display of each library with category, name, company and version. The icon to the left of the name indicates whether the library is digitally signed or unsigned.

“Company ”

List box for filtering the displayed libraries.

“Install”

Opens the “Select Library” dialog. Possible filters:

“Uninstall”

Uninstalls the selected library.

“Export”

Opens the default dialog for saving the library project to the local file system. The file type is ‎Library files (*.library)‎, ‎Compiled library files (*.compiled-library)‎, or ‎Compiled library files (*.compiled-library-v3)‎.

“Find”

Searches for libraries and function blocks.

Opens the “Find Library” dialog. When you enter a string in the input field, CODESYS displays the libraries that it finds with a corresponding string.

“Details”

Opens the “Details” dialog with details from the project information of the library for the selected version of a library. You find the following information by clicking “More” in the “Details” dialog:

“Dependencies”

For the selected library, the “Dependencies” dialog opens, showing the dependencies on other libraries. “Title”, “Version” and “Company” are shown for each library reference. References that function via placeholders are displayed according to the syntax: #<placeholder name>.

“Group by category”

The categories are defined by external description files '*.libcat.xml'.

A library profile defines the library version with which CODESYS resolves a library placeholder if a certain compiler version is set in the project.

“Import”

Imports a ‎*.libraryprofile‎ file.

If the import already contains existing placeholder entries, a query appears asking whether CODESYS should overwrite it.

“Export”

Exports an xml file with the extension ‎*.libraryprofile‎ with the assignments of the selected placeholder entries; you can only select a single entry of a “Compiler version”.
