7 - ENI
It is advisable to create a separate folder for each object category in the data base, but it is also
possible to store all objects in the same folder. (The 'category' is a property of an object, not of a
folder.)
See in the following the three ENI object categories:
Project Objects: Objects which contain project specific source information, e.g. POUs
which are shared in a multi-user operation. The command 'Get all latest
versions' automatically will call all objects of this category from the data
base to the local project; even those, which have not been there so far.
Shared Objects: Objects which are not project specific, e.g. POU libraries which
normally are used in several projects.
Attention: The command 'Get all Latest Versions' only will copy those
objects of this category from the project folder to the local project,
which are already part of the project !
Compile files:
Compile information (e.g. symbol files) which is created by CoDeSys
for the current project and which may be needed by other programs
too.
Example: An external visualization may need not only the project
variables, but also the assigned addresses. The latter will not be known
until the project is compiled.
Alternatively any objects of the CoDeSys project can be excluded from the project source control and
can be assigned to category 'Local', which means that they are just stored with the project as usual for
projects without any source control.
