Install Linux ARM Add-on

In order to work with CODESYS, you must install the CODESYS Control for Linux ARM SL dependency.

The specific version of the CODESYS Control for Linux ARM SL depends on the firmware version of the CANlink® mobile 10000. The version running on the device must be the same as or newer than the one used in your CODESYS project. Projects created with a newer version than the device supports will not run correctly.
To determine the correct version:

  • Refer to the firmware release notes; view available versions under Firmware Management in the DataPortal
  • You can also verify the version directly in CODESYS when connecting to the device (see screenshot below).
