Generating an IEC project

Carry out the following steps to create an IEC project by means of automatic code generation and based on the configurations made in MOVISUITE®.

  • Configuration of the software module in MOVISUITE® is complete.
  1. In the function view of MOVISUITE®, click the software module section of the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER node.
    • The "IEC project" menu opens.

    INFORMATION

    If you have carried out the configuration in MOVISUITE® using the "Startup" mode and the message "Device cannot be reached" appears, proceed as follows:
    • If the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER is not available via the network, switch over to "Planning" mode.
    • If the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER is available via the network, carry out a network scan and connect the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER in the network view with the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER in the function view.
  2. Click [Create new IEC project] or [Update IEC project].
    • Create new IEC project: The IEC Editor opens and a new IEC project is created. An existing IEC project is overwritten in full.
    • Update IEC project: The IEC Editor opens and the IEC project is updated. The update only affects the objects contained in the "SEW_Generated" folder, the task configuration, and the devices by SEW‑EURODRIVE. All other objects remain unaffected (own POU, DUT, tasks, and devices).

    INFORMATION

    If changes are made to the project structure, to inverter data sets, or to a software module configuration, a notification symbol is displayed on the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER node. To obtain more detailed information on the change and to perform the update, click the notification symbol.
