PLC Programming

6 - The Resources
In this example four tools-shortcuts are installed. One serves for starting another CoDeSys
programming sytem, one for opening the assembler listing in a text editor and two further shortcuts
are available to open PDF-files. Shortcuts marked with a "" cannot be modified in CoDeSys. The
shortcuts may contain the connection to an editor, e.g. notepad.exe, or to a certain PDF-file, so that a
doubleclick on the entry would open a notepad window showing the assembler listing respectively
would open the Acrobat Reader showing the PDF-file.
Additionally you can define certain files which should be downloaded to the PLC as soon as the
shortcut is activated.
