Command ‘Create Core Dump’

Function: This command causes CODESYS to check whether a core dump file is already available on the controller.

If a core dump file is available, then CODESYS prompts you to load this file to the project directory.

With the following requirements, CODESYS generates a new dump file with the current application data:

  • A core dump file is still not available or CODESYS has rejected a core dump file from being loaded.
  • The application is currently stopped at breakpoint or an exception has occurred.

The generated core dump file is saved directly to the project directory: <project name>.<device name>.<application name>.<application Guid>.core. You can cancel the file generation by clicking the button in the status bar.

The amount of detail in the dump depends on the support from the runtime system. Runtime systems that are appropriate for this purpose generate just one dump in the case of an exception error. The core dump output from clicking Load Core Dump can therefore be used for error analysis.

Call: Main menu Debug ‣ Core Dump.

Requirement: The application is in online mode.
