You can then insert variables into the watch windows to see what the value are and even change values. The user is provided effective support by the programming languages integrated in Automation Studio (IEC 61131-3 and ANSI C) - which can also be combined as required - and by the modern architecture and structuring of the programming environment. You can then right click those programs and open Watch Windows. You can create a dummy project and connect to the PLC and in the you can show a list of running programs. Alternatively, just stick the CF or CFast card in a reader and you should be able to access all the partitions.ĭoing things without the project source code:
Option 3) Save your source code to a git repository like a normal programmer and save a link to the repository in the user partition or on the OEM screen on the HMI.įor Option 1) This is the only way to do it if you setup the configuration to automatically archive the source files.įor Option 2) You can FTP into the PLC to get files off the User partition, just be sure you configured the FTP server to be on and setup a use so you can login. You could also manually place anything in the user partition and using the "BuildEvents" you could write a batch file that does it all for you. In the user partition settings, you can even configure it to automatically transfer over files in a specified directory when transfering to the PLC. Option 2) Transfer it to the User partition (F: when FTPing into the PLC). You will find the option to archive the source code when transfering to PLC and password protect it. The programmer of the PLC will be able to specify how much memory he. Option 1) In the configuration view, you right click the configuration and go to properties. B&R Automation Studio is the integrated software development. How saving source code to the PLC works in B&R Land:
