Live debug mode with two M172 PLCs binding by using HVAC Installer

neonguyen · ‎2025-02-11

I am able to create binding between two M172 PLCs and download programs to them by using HVAC Installer.

I am trying to troubleshoot my program but the HVAC Installer software does not have live debug mode.

If I open project by using the normal EcoStruxure Machine Expert, the software does not allow me to use live debug mode and it show different code at the bottom right.

So, my question is how I can use live debug mode on PLCs that have binding?

Thank you.

You have in the installer also the possibility to put values on the watchlist or the oscilosp to monitor them. The problem with different code could be often solved via saving the project and connect again, or you need to make only a application download. This should not influence the binding configuration.

If it is a Diff Code (sym), try to save the project.

If you are still in the development phase, simply download the source code from Programming (not Download All)

What about trying 1.7.0 Version?
As I remember it said "Diff.code" issue is solved on the new version.

Thank you Bastian for the suggestion. I am able to use watchlist in the Installer software and it works fine.
