Download the Project

Click the Compile and Download () button (Ctrl + F7) or the Download () button.
The application is compiled and downloaded or just downloaded to the controller.

An alert appears if:

• An attempt to Compile and Download is made without a connection to a controller.
• There is not sufficient space on the controller for the application.
  • Clearing the User Data tab is one method to create more space on a AKD PDMM or PCMM.

• In the Controller Properties dialog box, if the Download Project Source in the controller option is:
  • Enabled - the source code is copied to the controller.
    See Configure the Controller.
  • Disabled - and the controller has project source loaded, a message appears.
    • The message is different based on whether the current project and the project on the controller have the same name or not.

Project Name - Same Name

If the Project Name is the same, the message is:

Actions

Click either:

• OK: Source on controller is deleted.
• Save: Source on controller is overwritten and is saved to "My Documents".
  • If that source file already exists in My Documents, a prompt appears to rename the source file, overwrite that file or not.
  • If the file is not renamed or overwritten, the download to the controller is canceled.
• Cancel: Download is stopped.

Project Name - Different Name

If the Project Name is different, the message is:

Actions

Click either:

• OK: Source on the controller is replaced.
• Save: Source on the controller is saved to My Documents.
• Cancel: Download is stopped.

• The versions between 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 and the KAS Runtime In computer science, runtime (or run-time) describes the operation of a computer program, the duration of its execution, from beginning to termination (compare compile time). Within KAS, runtime also refers to the virtual machine that manage the program written in a computer language while it is running must be the same to debug the application.
  Example: To view the Variable Animation in the editors.

• If the IDE version differs from the runtime In computer science, runtime (or run-time) describes the operation of a computer program, the duration of its execution, from beginning to termination (compare compile time). Within KAS, runtime also refers to the virtual machine that manage the program written in a computer language while it is running after compiling an application, the function blocks defined in the IDE and those implemented in the virtual machine of the runtime can be different.
  To prevent this potential mismatch, compile and download the application again.
