Dialog 'Options' - 'CoDeSys V2.3 converter'

Symbol: _cds_icon_option_23convert

Function: The dialog is used to define the mapping when converting a CoDeSys V2.3 project.

Call: Menu bar: “Tools Options”, “CoDeSys V2.3 converter” category

A CoDeSys V2.3 project can be converted into a CODESYS V3 project only if the CODESYS V2.3 Converter package is installed in CODESYS V3. The package is available in the CODESYS Store.

Table 593: “Devices”
List and definition of the device mappings for a conversion. All device mappings of this list are also in effect the next time a CoDeSys V2.3 project is converted. This eliminates the need to recreate the image definition when the same device is used in multiple projects.
“Source Device”	Double-click an entry or an empty field to open the “Select Source Device” dialog. CODESYS lists all devices that converter can process.
“Target Device”	Double-click an entry or an empty field to open the “Select Target Device” dialog. “Select a target device from the list of installed devices below”: Click “OK” to confirm the selection. “None”: The source device will not be available in the new project. This also means that application-specific objects, such as the task configuration, are not imported.

Table 594: “Visualizations”
Defines the handling of the CODESYS TargetVisu and CODESYS WebVisu display variants when a CoDeSys V2.3 project is opened.
“Import of Targetvisualizations” “Import of Webvisualizations”	List box “Try to imitate old behaviour”: The option is available if the currently used device supports the option. This option has the effect that the new TargetVisu or WebVisu settings correspond as accurately as possible to the settings in the old project. “Ask the user once”: CODESYS asks the user to define the settings only when an "old" visualization project is imported for the first time. After that, CODESYS applies the automatically settings in all other visualization imports. “Ask the user”: CODESYS asks the user to define the settings every time an "old" visualization project is opened. “Setting from device description”: CODESYS sets the settings according to the entries in the device description of the installed target device. “Try to imitate old behaviour”: The option is available only if the currently used device supports the option. The effect of this option is that the new display variant settings for the TargetVisu or WebVisu correspond as accurately as possible to the settings in the old project.

NOTICE

CODESYS TargetVisu does not support the access to ‎VAR_IN_OUT‎ variables, because the compiler does not support this. This behavior corresponds to the behavior of CoDeSys V2.3 TargetVisu.
