Activating the multiuser function for a TwinCAT project
Carry out the following steps to activate this function for a TwinCAT project that is not yet managed through the multiuser functionality.
- 1. Activate the Use Multiuser option in the Settings tab of the SYSTEM node of the TwinCAT project. (See TwinCAT project settings)
- 2. Click the Init button to make the settings for the multiuser function and initialize the function.
- The Settings tab of the Multiuser Explorer window opens.
If you close the window by mistake, you can find it at the menu TwinCAT -> Multiuser Explorer. - 3. In the ADS Route field, select a target system for the multiuser repository.
- 4. In the Multiuser Repository field, select a name for the multiuser repository.
- 5. If required, select the option Ask for update message on each usage. (See also Settings tab)
- 6. Click the Init local and remote button.
- The multiuser repositories in the project and on the target system are initialized.
- 1. Click the button Init once again so that the URL of the multiuser repository is stored in the project.
- If the URL is stored directly in the project, this facilitates local initialization for this project on additional systems.
