I am using Codesys 3.5.16.30, I might be posting in the wrong forum but I do not see a newer version here.
I am using this software for the first time and trying to see if we can replace our allen bradley plcs with these ones. I would like to know for testing purposes how can i use my Windows 10 computer to act as both the gateway and plc. In the communications tab I see that the the Gateway has green light which I suppose is my own PC and the Device has grey light. But if I want to use my PC as the PLC as well what do I do? I have installed Codesys Control Win V3 - x64 Version 3.5.16.30 and also click on start PLC from the system tray but I can't seem to understand how to use the same PC for both programming/Gateway and the Target device.
Please help as I want to start this journey with Codesys and I am really excited about it.
Hi,
you are almost there,
the only thing is - in your project is a Control Win plc (32Bit) and on your PC you start probably Control Win (64Bit)
->I asume you have installed CODESYS 64Bit.
So the missing part is you need to change your project to Control Win 64Bit - > Update device by rightclick on the plc device in the device tree.
Sorry I did not reply sooner, I figured it out. Tha k's a lot for your
response though.
Regards
