Target IDE

Specify target IDE for the generated code

Model Configuration Pane: PLC Code Generation

Description

Select the target IDE for which you want to generate code. This option is available in the Configuration Parameters dialog box, PLC Code Generation pane.

The default Target IDE list shows the full set of supported targets. See Show Full Target List.

To see a reduced subset of targets, clear the option Show full target list. To customize this list and specify IDEs that you use more frequently, use the plccoderpref function.

For version numbers of supported IDEs, see Supported IDE Platforms.

Settings

Selectron CAP1131: Generates Structured Text code for Selectron CAP1131 v 11 IDE.

Tips

Rockwell Automation RSLogix 5000 routines represent the model hierarchy using hierarchical user-defined types (UDTs). UDT types preserve model hierarchy in the generated code.
The coder generates code for reusable subsystems as separate routine instances. These subsystems access instance data in program tag fields.
