Install a device in the device repository in order to include it in your project.

  1. Click “Tools  Device Repository”.

    The “Device Repository” dialog box opens.

  2. Select the install location. “System Repository” is set by default.

  3. Click “Install”.

    The “Install Device Description” dialog box opens.

  4. Select the file path of the device description.

  5. Select the file type filter of the required device description.

    All device descriptions of the selected file type are listed.

  6. Select the required device description and click “Open”.

    CODESYS adds the device description to the matching category of your device repository.

    If errors occur during installation (for example, missing files that are referenced by the device description), then CODESYS displays them in the lower part of the device repository dialog box.
