Configuring jobs for BECKHOFF TwinCAT V3

For a job, you can also use the Upload boot project option in the job settings to save the boot project and compare it with the data from the runtime. This allows you to check whether the runtime that is executed on the IPC was created from the boot project in the memory (see step 7). If the Project Sources checkbox is activated in the TwinCAT subprojects (in TwinCat XAE), the runtimes are saved in the Backup with (uploading is carried out via the Enable configuration function).

For information on the requirements for creating a job, see Configuring octoplant.

Info

The backup can only be edited if you have also copied all Project Sources to the controller.
