SafePLC2

A node may be added to the Project tree which connects to a SafePLC2 project. This allows you to synchronize a SafePLC2 project with a KAS project.

Adding or Importing a SafePLC2 Project

A SafePLC2 project may be added to the KAS IDE"Integrated development environment" An integrated development environment is a type of computer software that assists computer programmers in developing software. IDEs normally consist of a source code editor, a compiler and/or interpreter, build-automation tools, and a debugger, or you may import an existing project.

1. Right click on Controller in the Project tree.
2. Select Add SafePLC2 Project or Import SafePLC2 Project.
   

   When importing a project you are prompted to select the file's location.

   There may only be a single instance of a SafePLC2 project in the KAS IDE. If none exists, a SafePLC2 Project will be added to the end of the Project tree. If there is a project you will be prompted to overwrite the project or cancel the import. Note that the import cannot occur if SafePLC2 is running.

3. A node is added to the end of the Project tree.

Connecting to a SafePLC2 Project

1. Double-click on the SafePLC2 node. Alternatively, right-click on SafePLC2 and select Open SafePLC2.
   
2. SafePLC2 will be launched, creating a .SPL2 file.
   

•
