This description provides recommendations regarding what needs to be observed as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the different variants.


Versions < SP13:

Installation in the same directory

...

  • All previously installed packages are not automatically included in the new CODESYS version and must be installed again.


Versions >= SP13:

Installation in different directories (mandatory)

An empty directory is required for the installation.

Advantage

  • You can uninstall each version separately
  • Gateway and CODESYS Control Win V3 exist separately for each version

Disadvantage

  • None

It is possible to import packages from the previous installation during the first start-up of the new version.


Note

Please note that in both all cases the repositories are commonly used by all CODESYS versions. This can lead to unexpected behavior

  • when creating new projects
  • when diverting library placeholders
  • when referencing libraries with "latest" (which one should never do, except for interface and use case libraries

...

  • )

Tip

For advanced users

Versions can also be installed completely separately (including the repositories)

Proceed as follows to do this:

  1. Make sure that the directory C:\ProgramData\CODESYS does not exist, or rename it if necessary.
  2. Install the first CODESYS version.
  3. Move the directory C:\ProgramData\CODESYS into the installation directory of the first CODESYS version (e.g. to <CODESYS_install_dir>\CODESYS)
  4. Open the file <CODESYS_install_dir>\CODESYS\Settings\RepositoryLocations.ini and replace all paths to C:\ProgramData\CODESYS by the new path (search/replace).
  5. Proceed in exactly the same way with the second CODESYS installation.
