Compile

Perform this action to compile the logic. It compiles the application under ControlProgram, validates the application, if not already validated, and generates binaries that can be downloaded to the controller at a later point in time. It is not enabled in the Normal mode.

This action can be invoked even if the device is offline. This is useful in offline engineering and increases download performance. You can create application logic, compile the logic offline to the device, transfer the station to the JACE, and perform a download.

This device action is enabled only in Engineering mode.

To Compile:

  1. On the Nav palette, browse to Station > Config > Drivers > LonNetwork > LonSpyder.
    Or,
    Browse to Station > Config > Drivers > BacnetNetwork > BacnetSpyder.
  2. Right-click on device item and select Compile.A status bar showing compilation progress appears.
  1. Click Close to exit from Compilation progress dialog. Compilation job continues to run in the background whose progress can be viewed in the Job Sidebar. When Compile is invoked on a device residing in Station, completion of Compile operation is indicated by the job completion status pop-up. When invoked on a device residing in Spyder Library, job completion pop-up is not displayed, to view this status go to device's Controller Summary View.
