Introduction

This document describes how to use the ABB MultiOnlineChange plugin-tool in Automation Builder which enables firmware update, download and online change of the same project to several PLCs.

Technically, the tool creates and executes a CODESYS V2.3 command file (*.cmd file) and several batch files, and deletes both types after an operation is finished.

The *.cmd file selects the configured gateway, loads the *.ri file for the PLC and performs the selected task (firmware update, online change, online access or multi download).

The batch files copy the *.ri file for each PLC to a specified directory.
