Command: Add Installation

Function: The command configures and starts the installation of a self-contained CODESYS version including the add-ons which you have selected. The New Installation dialog opens for this purpose. You can choose between an express installation from an existing configuration file and a manually configured installation.

Call: Button in Installations view and Settings view

Tip

Installations do not affect each other.

For installation instructions, see the following: Installing and Starting

Table 8. Dialog: New Installation

Express

Express: The installation is created from an existing setup configuration file.

The Next button opens a dialog to search the file system for the configuration file *.installation-config. When the upload is complete the installation includes the configuration files described in the CODESYS setup and add-on versions. When the Create separate repositories option is enabled, a "clean installation" is done.
