X2 control
7.1 Runtime version
The X2 control platform (including SC-versions of other X2 panels) allows the
end-user to install a CODESYS Runtime version of their choice. A number of
different versions are available. Some versions are fully tested release versions, but
there are also newer versions that are not fully tested by the test department but
are available as-is to the end customer.
For information regarding updating the CODESYS Runtime,
please see
Updating the CODESYS runtime using ethernet
and
Updating the CODESYS runtime using USB
Note:
All X2 control panels are shipped without an installed CODESYS Runtime. It’s up to the
end customer to choose the appropriate version for their application and install this,
prior to taking the panel into commission.
7.2 Change etherCAT / normal ethernet
The CODESYS runtime packages exists in two different versions: one version that
sets LAN B to be an ethernet port and LAN A to an EtherCAT port, the second
version sets LAN B to be an ethernet port and LAN A to an additional ethernet
port. The default setting is to use ethernet on both ports.
If CODESYS runtime is installed with EtherCAT support, the panel image
have to be reinstalled, using the Image Loader utility, before the non-EtherCAT
CODESYS runtime version can be reinstalled.
7.3 CODESYS license
7.3.1
Control License
All X2 control operator panels are equipped with a CODESYS SoftControl
license.
7.4 Load project
There is a hard connection between the installed CODESYS runtime version
and the CODESYS PLC project that is running on the panel. If the CODESYS
runtime version is upgraded or downgraded the PLC application must be
recompiled with the correct settings for the target runtime version that is used.
7.5 Device description
The device description XML-file contains information that CODESYS needs in
order to be able to build projects for the CODESYS runtime. It’s important that
the installed device descriptor XML-file CODESYS runtime version matches the
