Integrating projects

Info

To integrate BECKHOFF TwinCAT projects, an editor must be installed on the same computer on which the octoplant server/agent is running.

The TwinCAT component type is available for BECKHOFF TwinCAT projects in octoplant in the Beckhoff directory. V2 and V3 projects may not be integrated simultaneously in a TwinCAT component.

Component types can be customized in the AdminClient in the Component type editor module.

To integrate your project data into octoplant, proceed as follows:

  1. Create a new component in the UserClient with the component type mentioned above.
  2. Open the working directory of the component using the button or the context menu item Show in file manager (Ctrl+E).
  3. Move the desired project data into the working directory of the component.
  4. Check-In the component using the Create base version and Check-In button.
  5. You can now manage the project in octoplant.
