Function: This command establishes the connection to the PLC device, if not already connected. Then it opens the “Online List” dialog listing the traces running on the controller. Then the selected trace is loaded to the trace editor by means of the “Upload” command in the dialog.
Call: Menu bar: “Trace”; context menu of the trace editor.
Requirement: The editor of a “DeviceTrace” object is open. The runtime system uses the CmpTraceMgr
components (trace manager). At least one application in the runtime system in running.
The communication settings for the PLC are configured correctly in the CODESYS project.




NOTICE

Closing the DeviceTrace editor terminates the connection to the controller.
Please note that the connections to the controller is also terminated when the last open “DeviceTrace” editor is closed. In order for device traces to be displayed again in the project, you have to reload them into the “DeviceTrace” objects.
At this time, closing the editor is also the recommended procedure for deliberately terminating the connection to the controller. Logging out is not enough for this.
