Dialog: Properties: Image Pool

Function: The basic properties of the selected image pool are set here.

Call: View → Properties command of an ImagePool object; context menu

Download only used images

standard icon : Instead of downloading all images from the image pool, only the images that are actually used in the application are downloaded to the controller.

Note that only static IDs are taken into consideration because the ID must be known before downloading and therefore no IDs from variables can be included. If images are referenced only by variable IDs, then you should disable this option to make sure that the images are transferred to the controller.

Download by visualization

standard icon : The image pool is downloaded with the visualization to the controller.

: Images from this image pool are not available on the controller.

Internal

standard icon : Internal POU of a library

An image pool marked as Internal in a CODESYS library project can be opened and its name appears in list boxes. As a library developer, you can program the object as usual.

Image pools from libraries which are integrated in a CODESYS standard project can be referenced but not opened. The POU is hidden for you as a user.
