Creating a boot application in offline mode dl-permalink__symbolPermalink

Requirement: Offline mode and your application is compiled without errors. You want to generate a boot application for an application and save it in the file directory for copying it later to the PLC by using external tools (without CODESYS).

  1. Click “Online  Create Boot Application”.

    A dialog opens for specifying a location in the local file system.

  2. Click a save path and then click “Save”.

  3. If the application has changed since the last boot application was generated, then you are prompted to use a new code for the boot application. In this case, click “Yes”.

    The “Save as” dialog opens.

  4. Select a directory and click “Save”.

    The <application name.app> boot application file is created in the given path.

    You are prompted whether or not the compile information for the boot application is saved.

  5. Click “Yes”.

    The compile information is saved to the project directory as a file named ‎<application name>.compileinfo‎. It is a requirement for a possible online change the next time the application is updated. Note: The “Build  Clean” command deletes this file.
