Installations can be user-defined and separated from the update channel. ```text If differences between the current CODESYS installation and the created version are detected when loading a project, then you are given the option to download and install an installation which is exactly suitable to the project. The project will then be opened automatically in this new created version. Furthermore, when loading it is of course possible to select suitable installations which already exist on the machine. In CODESYS Installer, installations get a user-defined name. In this way, you will not get confused if you have to manage a large number of installations. In order not to continuously receive update suggestions for such a special compatibility installation, these are separated from the update channel by default. ``` -------------------------------- ### CODESYS Project Environment - Versions and Visualization Source: https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Development%20System/_cds_cmd_step_into This section details settings related to the versions of libraries, compilers, and devices used in the project, as well as visualization profiles and styles. ```CODESYS Project Environment ``` ```CODESYS Library versions ``` ```CODESYS Compiler version ``` ```CODESYS Device versions ``` ```CODESYS Visualization Profile ``` ```CODESYS Visualization styles ``` ```CODESYS Visualization symbols ``` -------------------------------- ### CODESYS Installer for Beta Add-on Testing Source: https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Development%20System/_cds_codesys_modularization The CODESYS Installer enables the creation of duplicated CODESYS installations for testing beta versions of add-ons without affecting the productive environment.
