Target IDE Path

Provide full path to target IDE installation directory

Model Configuration Pane: PLC Code Generation

Description

Specify the target IDE installation path. The path already specified is the default installation path for the target IDE. Change this path if your IDE is installed in a different location. This option is available on the PLC Code Generation pane in the Configuration Parameters dialog box.

Settings

Default: C:\Program Files\CODESYS

C:\Program Files\CODESYS: Default installation path for CODESYS software Version 2.3.
C:\Program Files\CODESYS: Default installation path for CODESYS software Version 3.5.
C:\Program Files\BrAutomation: Default installation path for B&R Automation Studio^® 3.0 and 4.0 software.
C:\TwinCAT: Default installation path for Beckhoff^® TwinCAT^® 2.11 and 3 software.
C:\Program Files\KW-Software\MULTIPROG 5.0: Default installation path for PHOENIX CONTACT (previously KW) Software MULTIPROG^® 5.0 software. For MULTIPROG 5.50, the installation path may be different, change accordingly.
C:\Program Files\Phoenix Contact\Software Suite 150: Default installation path for Phoenix Contact^® PC WORX™ 6.0 software.
C:\Program Files\Rockwell Software: Default installation path for Rockwell Automation^® RSLogix™ 5000 software.

C:\Program Files\Siemens\Automation: Default installation path for Siemens TIA Portal software.

Tips

When you change the Target IDE value, the value of this parameter changes.
If you right-click the Subsystem block, the PLC Code > Generate and Import Code for Subsystem command uses this value to import generated code.
If your target IDE installation is standard, do not edit this parameter. Leave it as the default value.
If your target IDE installation is nonstandard, edit this value to specify the actual installation path.
If you change the path and click Apply, the changed path remains for that target IDE for other models and between MATLAB^® sessions. To reinstate the factory default, use the command:
```
plccoderpref('plctargetidepaths','default')
```
