I want to create the files for a boot application with a script for later software deployment on one or multiple plc.
I use the function: "app.create_boot_application(path,True,True)"
So long this works great. I get the application.app, application.crc files and visu files etc.
But when i have ethercat in the project this boot application does not run the ethercat.
I assume that with the script engine not all files for the boot application are created. Because when i use the UI-button to create the bootapplication i get an additional File: ecat_master_0_boot.xml
and Folders: ParameterSets PlcParameterSet ProfileData
*SoftPlcParameter
Is there a way to get this with scripts?
(I am using Lenze PLC Designer 3.15 working on Codesys 3.5.9)
Thanks and best regards.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I think the reason for this behavior is because Lenze modified the command to create a boot app in their IDE GUI, but not in the script engine.
In system.commands i found two commands to create a boot application.
One seems to be the command called with IScriptApplication2.create_boot_application Method documented in the API. With this i only get the .app and crc. files and not the ecat_master_0_boot.xml.
But the second command is named "Erzeuge Bootapplikation für Lenze Geräte" seems to be the euqivalent to the GUI button.
I called it like this and it works and creates all the files in the output path:
system.commands['{4913bcdd-6e61-43d9-ac60-e4c8c82ac405}'].execute(path)
Only downsite: I dont know if this supports the other two bool parameters (bool update_compile_info,bool write_visu_files). I tried to call it with (path,True,True) but didn't work.

Hi, thanks for your solution, it worked perfectly for me.
How did you get the GUID for the command?
