Error analysis with core dump

A core dump is a dump of the PLC project data.

Error analysis with core dump 1:

Core dump can only be used with the associated compile info file

If you archive or save a core dump file, please note that the associated project and associated compile info file (*.compileinfo file, which is stored, for example when creating the project, in the "_CompileInfo" folder) must be present in order to load a core dump. If this is not the case, TwinCAT cannot use the dump later.

Please also note here the setting options on the Settings tab. With the help of the Core Dump setting, you can configure whether the core dump file, which may be located in the project directory, is to be saved together with the available compile info files in a TwinCAT file archive.

Error analysis with core dump 2:

Warning message when core dump is available on target system

If you login a PLC project and there is a core dump on the selected target system, a warning is displayed in the message window indicating that a core dump is available on the device.

If the warning is no longer to be displayed when logging in the project (e.g. because you have completed the analysis of this core dump file or because you have archived the file somewhere else), you can delete the respective core dump file from the target system.
