Function: The command establishes the connection from the CODESYS Development System to the CODESYS Automation Server and uploads the project with the project archive to the Automation Server. For all applications of the project, the command creates the boot applications and uploads them to the Automation Server. If compile errors or other errors occur when creating the boot applications, then the command is aborted.

Requirement:

  • The CODESYS Automation Server Connector package is installed.

  • A CODESYS project is open which has not yet been located on the CODESYS Automation Server.
