Description: Before starting the PLC Designer program, execute the set-up files to install the PLC targets.
All configuration and extension files required for operating a certain control system (target system, target) using an application are contained in a Target Support Package (TSP). The code generator, the memory layout, and the controller and I/O module functions are configured. Furthermore, libraries, gateway drivers, Error and Ini files for the PLC browser, etc. must be integrated. One or several target files are the central element of the TSP. A target file refers to the files required in addition to the target configuration. The target file can share these files with other target files.
When installing a TSP, for each target system the corresponding target file is stored in a separate directory and the corresponding path is registered. According to a *.tnf info file, which is also contained in the TSP, the corresponding files are also copied to your computer. The name of the target directory and the name of the target are identical. We suggest to select a directory with the name of the manufacturer.
The files installed with a Target Support Package are read when the PLC Designer program is started. The target system settings selected in the dialogs of the programming system are stored together with the corresponding project.
System requirements
• Microsoft® Windows® XP SP3 or
• Microsoft® Windows® 7 (32-bit)
Installation
How to install the PLC targets:
1. Unpack the 'L-force_PLC_Target_V8.01.08.zip' file (4.0 MB) on your PC. The ZIP file contains two installation files.
Setup_L-force_Logic_x800_V8.01.08.exe ==> Logic target, contains no Motion libraries, shorter loading and compilation times
and
Setup_L-force_Motion_x800_V8.01.08.exe ==> Logic and Motion target, also contains the Motion libraries
2. Start the Setup_L-force_Logic_x800_V8.01.08.exe or Setup_L-force_Motion_x800_V8.01.08.exe program and follow the installation instructions.
Please note that different versions of the V8 PLC target available on your PC will be overwritten when this target is installed. This only applies to targets within the same main version V8. Targets of other main versions (e. g. V7, V6) are not concerned.
Function extensions as compared to version V7.5
• Touch probe CAN via process data
• Bundle 2 'Support of Logic drives' has been added
• Update of CoDeSys SoftMotion libraries V1.9.4.16
Release:
PLC Designer target version V8.01.08 is released for being used with
• IPC firmware V2.5 and higher
• PLC Designer V2.6 and higher
• IPCs of the x800 series
Please note:
PLC target V8 and the IPCs of the x800 series do not support the EtherCAT fieldbus.
Control technology release 2.5 still supports PLC target V7 and V6. I. e. if you want to convert a project created with control technology release 1.5 or 2.0 to control technology release 2.5 you need n o t necessarily change your PLC targets from V5 or V6 to V7.
