Debugging NetLogics

Identify, investigate, and fix issues with runtime and design time NetLogics.

IMPORTANT:

FactoryTalk Optix Studio

supports only .NET libraries with the .NET Standard 8 destination framework. To debug

FactoryTalk Optix Applications

with

Visual Studio®

Visual Studio Code®

, install .NET SDK.

Debugging approaches

You can either:

Debug design-time and runtime NetLogics in a local project with an external code editor. See Debug NetLogic locally with Visual Studio Code and Debug NetLogic locally with Visual Studio.

Debug runtime NetLogics deployed to remote Windows target devices. See Debug NetLogic remotely with Visual Studio.

Debug design-time and runtime NetLogics by displaying log messages directly in

FactoryTalk Optix Studio

In case of errors with debuggers in external code editors:

Make sure that .NET solution compiles. In

FactoryTalk Optix Studio

, investigate the

Output

pane for .NET solution compilation errors and fix the NetLogic code if needed. See Output pane.

Make sure that you saved your project and NetLogics in both

FactoryTalk Optix Studio

and your external code editor.

Make sure that your

FactoryTalk Optix Application

uses the latest code. Run your

FactoryTalk Optix Application

Make sure that you attached the debugger to the right process.
