Good morning, my question is: Is there any way to download the PLC source code to the computer? I know I can download the program running on the HMI from the synoptic diagrams or screens, but I don’t know how to download the PLC program to my computer from Codesys, as can be done with other PLCs from other manufacturers.

Hi @ernesto881124,

In this video, we demonstrate how to download the Codesys source code.

Thank you very much for your help, the video was really helpful, although I think the problem I have is another because when I connect to the device it shows me a pop-up window telling me that the source file is not available on the PLC, but it causes me doubt because I know that there is a program running inside the device.

Hi @ernesto881124,

By default, the CODESYS IDE will download the compiled application without downloading the application source. This means that the application will run on the device, but it cannot be retrieved. To prevent this, it is necessary to download the application source code as well. I hope this helps!

Ooh, okay, I understand. That’s good to know. Thank you so much for always helping, Brendon.
