Choose Target System
TwinCAT distinguishes between development and runtime systems. If your development system is not your runtime system, create a route to the runtime system and select it. This can be done by following the steps below, for example:
- 1. Click Solution Explorer > SYSTEM > General > Choose Target...
The Choose Target System dialog opens, listing all target systems to which routes exist from the development system.
- 2. If the target system is not yet listed, that is there is no route to the system, click Search.
The Add Route Dialog opens, where you can add more routes. - 3. In the Add Route Dialog click Broadcast Search to search for TwinCAT systems in the network. Alternatively, search for the device name or IP address using Enter Host Name / IP. Any systems that are found are then displayed.
- 4. Select a system from the list and click Add Route to create a route to it. The displayed information and setting options are described in detail in the chapter Add Route Dialog. The new route now appears in the Choose Target System dialog.
- 5. Select the target system in the Choose Target System dialog and confirm with OK.
