Object
Information about the PLC runtime module is displayed in the Object tab of the PLC instance. In addition, a few common settings concerning the PLC runtime module can also be set.
Information concerning the PLC runtime module:
Object Id | TwinCAT Object ID of the PLC runtime module |
Object Name | Name of the PLC runtime module/the PLC instance |
Type Name | Type name of the runtime module (Corresponds to the project name in the PLC.) |
GUID | GUID of the PLC runtime module |
Class Id | Class ID of the PLC |
Class Factory | Class Factory of the PLC |
Parent Id | The ID of the parent runtime module. For the PLC this is a PLC Control instance that manages the PLC runtimes. |
In addition, some settings can also be made:
Init Sequence | Defines the startup behavior of a runtime module. |
Copy TMI to Target | Defines whether the TMI file is copied to the target. |
Share TMC Description | Defines whether the TMC file is copied to the target. |
Keep Unrestored Link Info | Enables the Unrestored Links option (see Unrestored Links). |
Auto Reload TMI/TMC | Defines whether the TMC file should be reloaded when a change is made externally. |
The option Keep Unrestored Link Info is an option with 3 states:
Checked | Link information is retained. |
Not checked | Link information is discarded. |
Intermediate (filled with a rectangle) | It will ask each time if the link information should be kept. |
The option Auto Reload TMI/TMC defines whether the TMC file should be re-read in case of a change from outside. This is important when using the stand-alone PLC (see Use stand-alone PLC project), because then the TMC file is recreated by recompiling the PLC in another TwinCAT project.
