Command Add New Item (instance)

Function: This command can be used to add another instance (process image) to the selected PLC project ("Multiple PLC instances").

Call: Context menu of the PLC project in the Solution Explorer

Requirement: The PLC project is selected.

This mechanism can be used to instance a PLC project, which results in one project instance per PLC runtime system. A separate ADS port number can be assigned for each project instance (see Command Change ADS port). Furthermore, each project instance has its own links within a process image.

Each project instance has its own online mode, i.e. each project instance can be logged in and started individually, for example.
