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).
-
Click “Online Create Boot Application”.
A dialog opens for specifying a location in the local file system.
-
Click a save path and then click “Save”.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
