Export to TwinCAT 3.1 4022.xx
This article describes how to export a TwinCAT 3 driver that can run on any other TwinCAT PC.
The following steps have to be carried out
- 1. Implement a TwinCAT 3 C++ project on an engineering PC equipped with a Visual Studio version, see quick start sample Create a TwinCAT 3 project. Implement the TwinCAT modules as described, compile and test the modules contained in the project before export.
- 2. Since the result should be able to be used on any machine, TwinCAT generates a 32-bit and a 64-bit version.
Since x64 drivers must be signed, a certificate must be installed on the machine that exports the module. See x64: Driver signing, how to generate and install a certificate.
(This step can be omitted on an engineering or 32-bit system) - 3. To export a TC 3 C++ project, right-click on the module project in the solution tree and select TwinCAT Publish Modules.
- The project is then compiled (rebuild) - the successful export is displayed in the Build output window.
Please note the successful message at the end:
The binary files and the TMC module description are exported to the TempContr folder under C:\TwinCAT\3.x\CustomConfig\Modules. - 4. For the import, simply copy the TempContr folder to any other TwinCAT 3 machine.
