Dialog 'Device Conversion' dl-permalink__symbolPermalink

Function: The dialog defines how references to devices that are no longer available are to be handled.

Call: When opening a CoDeSys V2.3 project in V3, the dialog opens when the converter detects a device reference which cannot be used anymore.

A CoDeSys V2.3 project can be converted into a CODESYS V3 project only if the CODESYS V2.3 Converter package is installed in CODESYS V3. The package is available in the CODESYS Store.

Table 554: “What do you want to do?”

“Use the following device that has already been installed”

CODESYS replaces the previously used device in the device tree with another device. The “Browse” button opens a dialog for selecting from the local device repository.

“Ignore the device. All device specific objects will not be available in the new project”

The device entry with all objects inserted below it is removed from the device tree.

“Remember this mapping for all future occurrences of that device”

The settings made here in the dialog are saved in the CODESYS Options, in the “CODESYS V2.3 Converter” category. As a result, they are also valid for future project conversions.
