    Hello,

    I am attempting to get started here and bumping into this funny issue.

    I am using this version of CODESYS:

    ==============================
    DETAILED VERSION INFORMATION
    Created at 2024-03-10
    ==============================

    Startup profile: ............................................................... CODESYS V3.5 SP19 Patch 6
    OS version: .................................................................... Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19045.0
    .NET version: .................................................................. 4.0.30319.42000

    When attempting to customize the menus or toolbar it does not work. The additional commands, Insert TON box & Insert TOFF box, are present in the Customize Menus or Toolbars when re-opening the Customize options but neither the menu or the toolbar gets updated with these. Would also like to add them in the Ladder Toolbox as there are only 9 items in there which does not include the one mentioned above.

    Due because of the version I am using ?

    Any assistance would definitely be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Mike

    You get fewer tools when you create a new POU and choose ladder diagram instead of ladder logic diagram. Create a new POU and select ladder logic diagram and you should find the additional tools you are looking for in the toolbox.

    That definitely does the job with the Ladder Logic Diagram type; fully equipped toolbox.

    Just starting with Codesys and was following programming steps which explains the choice of ladder I had picked.

    Thanks for the tip and have a good one!

    Cheers!
