What does this line means 'Stop the running CoDeSys instance (kill plclinux_rt) if you want to use digital inputs/outputs of the Wago PFC'. How do i stop it?

Hi,

By default, Wago Linux image comes with a Codesys (IEC 61131) run time package, which starts automatically when someone initializes the device. Codesys uses Kbus(Communication Bus) from Wago, which makes it impossible for the other programs to use the Kbus. To make forte to use the Kbus, one has to stop the Codesys run time first. You can it as follows,

1) Login to the wago PFC using the provided credentials
2) List the processes running : use "ps -A" on a terminal
3) Identify the pid of process plclinux_rt
4) type "kill pid": Eg: kill 1233

Hope this helps.

Regards
Milan
