Extended Online Change support for configuration changes on productive applications – without stopping or restarting the application.
CODESYS Online Configuration Change extends the classic Online Change functionality with the ability to perform configuration changes on a running application – without having to stop or restart the application.
In the standard version, the Online Change feature is primarily limited to code changes in the application. For example, changes to the implementation, new GVLs, or new POUs.
CODESYS Online Configuration Change enables changes to application configurations that go beyond pure source code changes.
To clearly distinguish this new feature from the existing online change, the name “Online Configuration Change” is used.
