Command Line Commands

When IEC 61131-3 editor is started you can add commands in the command line which will be asserted during execution of the program. These commands start with a “/”. Capitalization / use of small letters is not regarded. The commands will be executed sequentially from the left to the right.

/online	Immediately after start IEC 61131-3 editor tries to go online with the current project.
/run	After login IEC 61131-3 editor starts the application program. Only valid in combination with /online.
/batch	IEC 61131-3 editor starts without user interface and returns the error code of the first error or the return value of the first command which is terminated with a warning. IEC 61131-3 editor will terminate immediately after the command file has been processed. The processing of the command file will be aborted as soon as the first command is processed with an error. Warnings do not terminate the processing. If neither errors nor warnings occur, the return value is S_OK.
/show … /show hide /show icon /show max /show normal	Settings for the IEC 61131-3 editor frame window can be made. The window will not be displayed, it also will not be represented in the task menu. The window will be minimized in display. The window will be maximized in display. The window will be displayed in the same status as it was during the last closing.

/visudownload	If IEC 61131-3 editor HMI is started with a project, which does not match with the project currently available on the target system, a download will be offered. (Dialog, to be closed with YES or NO).
/notargetchange	A change of the target system only can be done via a command file. See command ” Command File (cmdfile) Commands”.
/targetfile <file>.trg	A target description file  (*.trg) can be specified. So the already installed targets will not be regarded when IEC 61131-3 editor is started. The commands ‘File’ ‘New’, File’ ‘New from template…’, ‘File’ ‘Open…’ and the list of recently opened projects will not be available. Additionally the selection list in the target settings configuration dialog will not usable.

Regard the following syntax for a command line:

“<Path of CoDeSys-exe-file>” “<Path of the project>” /<command1> /<command2> ….

Example for a command line:

The project ampel.pro gets opened, but no window opens. The commands included in the command file command.cmd will be executed.
