Not possible to load the application onto the Controllino

Symptom: After you have created a project based on a sample project for →Controllino (e.g. Moving Light for Controllino MINI), you have entered the correct COM-port within the PLC-object and then you have loaded the application onto the Controllino, the following messages are displayed:

The application for the PLC (resource "name", platform toolkit "Controllino...") cannot be created/loaded. Check the views "Error Log" and "Problems" for more information.
An error occurred during compiling/linking the metadata (error code: 1).

The displayed name of the platform toolkit depends on the used Controllino size.

Solution 1: Make sure that the generation of metadata is enabled before logi.CAD 3 is started.

Go to the folder where you installed logi.CAD 3.
Locate the file logiCAD3.ini and open it in a text editor.
Search for -DLC3useRTS3MetaData.
If this configuration variable is defined with value false, define the value true.

Example for corrected lines

...

-Xms256m

-Xmx6144m

-DLC3useRTS3MetaData=true

By default, the generation of metadata is activated in logi.CAD 3. However, the generation has been deactivated due to -DLC3useRTS3MetaData=false (after the option -vmargs).
Save the file.

Solution 2, if the generation of the metadata is activated:

Reset the Controllino by pressing the reset button on the Controllino. Then load the application anew.

logi.cals recommends to install and use the most current versions of logi.CAD 3 and the runtime system so that the latest features and problem fixes according to the release notes are provided in the used version.
