Tips

  • When you change the Target IDE value, the value of this parameter changes.

  • If you right-click the Subsystem block, the PLC Code > Generate and Import Code for Subsystem command uses this value to import generated code.

  • If your target IDE installation is standard, do not edit this parameter. Leave it as the default value.

  • If your target IDE installation is nonstandard, edit this value to specify the actual installation path.

  • If you change the path and click Apply, the changed path remains for that target IDE for other models and between MATLAB® sessions. To reinstate the factory default, use the command:

    plccoderpref('plctargetidepaths','default')
