Dialog Options - Libraries
Function: The dialog contains settings for libraries.
Call: TwinCAT > PLC programming environment > Libraries
Conversion tab
The tab is used to manage the mappings of library references that TwinCAT uses when converting an old project. If you have not yet saved a mapping for a particular library, you must redefine the mapping each time you open an old project that includes this library.
A mapping defines how a library reference looks like after conversion of the project to the current format. There are three options:
- You retain the reference. This means that TwinCAT also converts the library into the current format (*.library) and installs it in the local library repository.
- You replace a reference with another reference. This means that one of the installed libraries replaces the previously referenced library.
- You delete the reference. This means that the converted project no longer integrates the library.
During the next conversion of an old project, TwinCAT applies all listed mappings to its library references. This means that you have to repeat the mapping definition if the same library is included again in a project to be converted. You can enter a new mapping in the last line. | |
Source Library | Path of the library that is included in the project before the conversion. Double-clicking an entry makes the field editable and the Input Assistant button appears. |
Target Library | Name and location of the library to be included in the project after conversion. Double-clicking on an entry opens the "Set target system library" dialog. |
