6 CODESYS
CODESYS is a complete development environment for your PLC.
CODESYS puts a simple approach to the powerful IEC language at the
disposal of the PLC programmer. Use of the editors and debugging func-
tions is based upon the proven development program environments of ad-
vanced programming languages (such as Visual C++).
6.1 Installing CODESYS on the Programming PC
To install the CODESYS software on your pro-
gramming PC:
•
Select CODESYS...exe either from Windows Explorer or via 'Run' from
the Windows Start menu.
•
Run the program.
•
The CODESYS installer runs to request your preferred settings and in-
stall the application in the target system.
6.1.1 Installing a CODESYS Target
Before you can run CODESYS to create a Ventura project you must first
install the Target Support Package (TSP) "Scout.tnf" by running the in-
staller called InstallTarget.
A TSP contains all configuration and extension files required to use an ap-
plication for operating a certain controller (target system).
A configuration includes the code generator, the memory layout, the set of
functions provided by the controller and the I/O modules.
The libraries, gateway drivers, error and ini files for the PLC browser etc.
are also installed.
•
Run the target installer delivered with your CODESYS package.
•
Go to the folder containing the TSP called "Scout" and choose
"Scout.tnf".
•
Click to select "Scout_XXX_01.tnf" and "Install" it.
