The library configuration defines the layout for the library to be created (e.g. folder of the library) and the elements to be integrated (e.g. the user blocks).

How to create a library configuration:

1. Select a folder within the →project in which you want to create the library configuration.

2. In menu File or from the context menu of the folder, select New and the command Library Configuration.
   Result: The project explorer displays the library configuration (with icon ). The editor for the library configuration is opened for this library configuration.

3. Adjust the already existing settings for the library configuration according to your requirements.

   Example for library configuration

   The following example results in a created library:

   • being of type LOGICAD (see "Creating and deploying a custom library" for the possible library types)

   • being a snapshot library (see "Arbeitsabläufe: Snapshot-Bibliotheken und/oder finalisierte Bibliotheken erstellen/verwenden" for details)

   • containing the following:

     • 2 folders – see the statements FOLDER ...

     • 4 blocks in total – see the statements IEC := ...

     • files for the external block help – see the statements FILE := ... directly following the statements for the blocks

     • binaries, include and source files – see the statements beginning with BINARY_LIBRARIES

   LIBRARY com.CompanyA.Controller (* The library is created with the name 'com.CompanyA.Controller__1.1.0-SNAPSHOT.zip'. *)

   VERSION := 1.1.0-SNAPSHOT;

   PACKAGETYPE := zip;

   FOLDER "Motors" (* The library contains the folder 'Motors' and the sub-folder 'Testing'. Hence, the ZIP-file contains: FOLDER\Motors\Testing *)

   IEC := com.CompanyA.Controller.Motor1; (* 'Motors" will contain the files 'com.CompanyA.Controller.Motor1' and 'com.CompanyA.Controller.Motor2'. *)

   IEC := com.CompanyA.Controller.Motor2;

   FILE := ".olh\com.CompanyA.Controller.Motor1.EN.html", SOURCEPATH := "src/"; (* The files for the external block help for 'Motor1' and 'Motor2' - in English. *)

   FILE := ".olh\Motor1.png", SOURCEPATH := "src/";

   FILE := ".olh\com.CompanyA.Controller.Motor2.EN.html", SOURCEPATH := "src/";

   FILE := ".olh\Motor2.png", SOURCEPATH := "src/";

   FILE := ".olh\style.css", SOURCEPATH := "src/";

   FOLDER "Testing" (* 'Testing" will contain the files 'com.CompanyA.Controller.Test1' and 'com.CompanyA.Controller.Testr2'. *)

   IEC := com.CompanyA.Controller.Test1;

   IEC := com.CompanyA.Controller.Test2;

   FILE := ".olh\com.CompanyA.Controller.Test1.EN.html", SOURCEPATH := "src/"; (* The files for the external block help for 'Test1' and 'Test2' - in English. *)

   FILE := ".olh\Test1.png", SOURCEPATH := "src/";

   FILE := ".olh\com.CompanyA.Controller.Test2.EN.html", SOURCEPATH := "src/";

   FILE := ".olh\Test2.png", SOURCEPATH := "src/";

   FILE := ".olh\style.css", SOURCEPATH := "src/";

   END_FOLDER

   END_FOLDER

   BINARY_LIBRARIES FOR BuiltInPlc (* Moreover, the library will contain some binaries, include and source files as well. *)

   FILE := "libs\mathlib.lib";

   END_BINARY_LIBRARIES

   BINARY_OBJECTS FOR BuiltInPlc

   FILE := "libs\mathlib.o";

   END_BINARY_OBJECTS

   INCLUDES

   FILE := "h\mathlib.h";

   END_INCLUDES

   SOURCES

   FILE := "code.c" , SOURCEPATH := "c";

   END_SOURCES

   END_LIBRARY

   See under "Syntax for library configuration" and "Example: Creating library with blocks incl. help files" for explanations of the statements.

4. Save the library configuration: e.g. menu File, Save
