Questions about creating your own library
1 how to hide the contents of the library, so that users can not view the code
2 how call the library without writing the namespace, like TON, without the need to write Standard.TON

Tks in advance.

A compiled library (save as compiled library) should keep your code hidden. You can also password protect it. Be sure to test!

Whether or not the namespace has to be included depends on the user setting of the system. If you want to shut off include namespace, check your CoDeSys options either under the Project tab or the Tools tab (sorry not in front of my system to know the exact lik).

Hi,

yes Scott thanks for this.
Detail: If you set:

LanguageModelAttribute(Text) := 'qualified-access-only' effects that the symbols of the library are only accessible via the namespace.

Access by using the Namespace is mandatory.

As the jpg shows.Where can I find the menu (Save as compiled library)?
And if you mind tell where can find the docuement shows the setting about the security.Just in the codesys help?

Tks any way!

Hi,
if you would use current Version this will be available as Default.
In older Versions (<sp8) you="" need="" to="" change="" tools-="">Options-Feature-Sets-Switch to Professional

Ah, OK, the term "Project" is used with two meanings...

In general, project means the CoDeSys file (Open Project, Save Project, New Project). But then there is a difference below that:

You cannot save a project as a library. You must choose to create a library (File -> New -> Empty library). All is not lost, since you can easily copy the whole POU(s) from one "project" to another.

For easy use, the last two step above can be replaced simply with: File -> Save project and install into library repository

I did create a library not a project,and my version is SP5
And I find the settings as jpg shows.Maybe not same to SP8.
After change to profesional I can find save as compiledlibrary.

Another question?How I need not write namespace,like TON without Standard.TON

Tks very much.

If you want hide namespace,just following the jpg shows!

Tks to Edwin and scott!
