Dialog ‘Properties’ - ‘Application build options’¶

Function: This dialog includes settings that CODESYS uses for creating a boot application for the controller.

Call: Menu bar: View ‣ Properties ; context menu of an application object.

Download Application Info

This feature requires compiler version >=3.5.0.0, runtime system version >= 3.5.0.0.

The information about the application contents is also downloaded to the PLC. We recommend that you keep this option activated because it enables a difference check between the current application and the application on the PLC. This compares the number of blocks, data, and memory locations.

To receive information about the differences, click Details in the Applications tab of the device editor. This is also in the message view that opens when you are downloading an application to the PLC when it is different from the one already on the PLC.

Stop parent application in case of exception

Available for applications with a parent application. The option is activated by default for device applications.

: An exception in this application also leads to stopping the device application and therefore stopping all other applications.

Dynamic memory settings

Memory is allocated dynamically for the application, for example when using the __NEW operator. In this case, define the Maximum size of memory (bytes).

Caution: The entire memory is not available for creating objects dynamically. Instead, the system always uses part of it for management information.
