Exiting the development environment and the runtime environment

This article informs you how to exit the →integrated development environment Neuron Power Engineer and the →runtime environment.

In this article:

Exiting Neuron Power Engineer

In menu File, select Exit. Or click Close button in the titlebar of Neuron Power Engineer (e.g. ).

Terminating the runtime system

The procedure to terminate the →runtime system depends on the used →PLC.

Terminating the runtime system on the local Windows-PC

The runtime system for Windows is built-in into Neuron Power Engineer and is automatically terminated when Neuron Power Engineer is exited. However, you can stop and start this built-PLC from within Neuron Power Engineer at any time.

Terminating the runtime system on any Windows-PC

This procedure applies, if you have started the runtime system on any Windows-PC.

Click Close button in the titlebar of the windows for the runtime system (e.g. ).
Alternative: In the window where the runtime system is executed, press Ctrl+C until the command prompt is available again.

Terminating the runtime system on a Linux-based target system

The following instructions are valid for the target system Raspberry Pi. Contact Neuron, if you want to terminate the runtime system on a different target system.

  1. Connect to the target system by using PuTTY and log on to it as described in the tutorials. Example: For Raspberry Pi, these instructions are listed under: "Configuring Raspberry Pi"

  2. In the terminal window of PuTTY, enter this command:

pkill RTSLoader
  1. Again within the terminal window of PuTTY: Check whether Neuron RTS max is really terminated.

ps aux | grep RTS

The listed processes must not include RTSLoader. If it is listed, contact Neuron in order to clarify the configuration of Neuron RTS max for your target system.

After the target system is restarted, the runtime system is running again, if you have the runtime system started at the system start (according to the tutorials).

Terminating the runtime system on Controllino or Arduino Nano

If you are using a Controllino or an Arduino Nano as target system, you do not need to terminate the runtime system on it.
