- Path: If a PLC program is compiled in TwinCAT PLC Control and uploaded to a controller, a *.tpy file is generated in the PLC program directory. The path for the *.tpy file associated with this controller must be entered or selected here.
- Relative to BAMX-File: If this box is selected, only the (relative) path from the project file (*.bam file) (e.g. .\TcBAFrameworkV2.20.tpy) is stored, rather than the full (absolute) path for the *.tpy file (e.g. C:\BAM First Steps\TcBAFrameworkV2.20.tpy).
- Change... / Rescan: This option can be used to select or re-read the *.tpy file to be used.
