Deploy¶

Deployment moves code from the project folder to the IDE, then to the PLC. Disconnect first if the IDE is online.

1. Edit project-view/, then run cts import to apply the changes to the IDE.
2. Run cts build; fix errors before downloading.
3. Run cts download, then check cts status or read a known variable to confirm the application is ready.

Simulation mode is controlled with cts project simulate on and cts project simulate off. A download after adding a POU, GVL, DUT, or other object with new symbols must be a full download so those symbols are exported to the running application. cts download forces a full download.

See cts guide commands under “PLC Lifecycle” for details, and cts download --help for options.
