How can I perform an application update?

Note: Currently application updates are available for PLCnext targets. (e.g. AXC F 2152, AXC F 1152, AXC F 3252, AXC F 4152 …)

Prerequisites: You must make a project export from the PLCnext Engineer of your project. You can use this packaged file in the Device Management Service in the DMS Basic Add-on to update the application on your PLCnext controller. You must also have a valid subscription for the DMS Basic Add-on activated for the device.

  1. Open the Device Management Service
  2. Open the device whose application you want to update
  3. Go to the “Application Update” tab
  4. Click on “Install new application”
  5. Upload your application to Proficloud.io
  6. Start the application update by clicking on “Install application”
  7. The application update will now be carried out. You will be guided through the individual steps required to update the application.

You will receive a status message for each step to be completed and, once the update is complete, you will also receive a message indicating which version of the application is now installed.
