Configuration
The configuration is used to define which program elements of the PLC project are instrumented and measured by the profiler. One profiler can be added per PLC project. Several configurations can be created within the profiler.
The POUs (Program Organization Units) to be measured are configured via a blacklist or whitelist:
- Blacklist: All elements of the application are instrumented. The blacklist can be used to exclude individual elements or element types from the measurement.
- Whitelist: All elements of the application are blocked. Only elements or element types that are on the whitelist are instrumented.
Program elements can be added to the configuration list in the following ways:
- Via the Add button and the Input Assistant. You can search for specific POUs in the Input Assistant.
- Drag and drop from the Solution Explorer into the configuration list (application configuration, also with multiple selection).
- Drag and drop from the Library Manager into the library whitelist.
The Instrumented Elements display shows how many elements are configured for the measurement.
 | Configuration changes require a download Activating, deactivating or changing a profiler configuration changes the instrumentation of the PLC code. Therefore, a recompilation and download to the controller is required after each configuration change. An online change is not possible. |
