Dialog: Options: CoDeSys V2.3 converter

Symbol: _cds_icon_option_23convert.png

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

Call: Tools → Options command, CoDeSys V2.3 converter category

Tip

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 International.

Table 156. Tab: 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 create the image definition again 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 which the 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 157. Tab: 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 device which is currently used supports the option. The effect of the option is that the new settings for the target visualization or web visualization correspond as closely 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 settings automatically for 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 configures 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 device which is currently used supports the option. The effect of this option is that the new display variant settings for the target visualization or web visualization correspond as closely as possible to the settings in the old project.



Important

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