Command: Create Boot Application

Function: This command causes the active application to be saved as a boot application on the safety controller. After a restart of the safety controller this application starts as the boot application.

Call: Online menu

Requirements: The safety application is in online mode (logged in state) over a confirmed connection.

As an alternative to the command in the Online menu, you can also execute the command in the Download safety application to controller dialog, which opens when you click Online → Login (see Login – Safety).

The creation of a boot application can be executed only after explicit confirmation by the developer. The status of the application (In Work) or the Pin ID of the safety application is shown in the confirmation dialog.

. Possible statuses of the application:
  • Application is not consistent with the Pin (In Work)

  • Application is consistent with the Pin

  • Application is consistent with the Pin, but not with the Pin of the boot application last created from this project )

If in these three cases a boot application is created after confirmation by the developer, then the download application remains loaded and the controller remains in debug mode (see: Debug Mode).
