Settings
We are not done yet! Programming not only requires the library files but also
e.g. the operating system or predefined system variables. It is therefore not
sufficient to only insert the libraries in the manager. In addition the settings
have to be verified and possibly adapted during PLC configuration.
PLC configuration
Here again we refer to the device CR2500. As mentioned above, the respective
CR2500
settings have already been made in the starter set so that we do not have to
worry about them. For a new project for the starter set the library
ifm_CR2500_VXXXXXX is added again. Since the features of the hardware
versions are fixed, various variables have also been declared in advance.
Declarations
As is the case with each efficient software, variables are also declared in
CoDeSys. Declarations, presentation, notations etc. are described in detail in
the manual for the program development. In our manual we will describe this
process briefly in the individual steps ( e.g. page 3-44).
Below we will describe the hardware configuration in brief.

You click on the 'Resources' tab in the
navigation bar and double click on 'PLC
Configuration' (then you can also check
if the libraries have been integrated). At
