ctrlX Works v1.14 release date

[Tamer]

Hello,

I was trying to follow the SDK quick start guide on the link below, but it says I need to download and install ctrlX Works 1.14 with function 'App Build Environment', the latest version I can find is 1.12.9. I would like to know if there is an expected release date for v 1.14? Also if there is an alternative SDK guide for the current release?

Thanks

Hello Tamer,

You can use the following 2 links to set up a qemu VM without App Builder Environment. (Instructions for Linux and Windows available)

Version 1.12 is the officially supported software release. Version 1.14 and 1.16 are not officially supported. With this in mind, if you would still like access to versions 1.14 or 1.16 for any non-real applications, we can request this permisson for you.

Hello,

are there any news on a release date for a new official supported software version (higher than v1.12) ?

The reason is we would like to run a real application with the PLC-Open "MC_MoveVelocity" Function Block.

It seems like the FB is already implemented in the higher versions https://docs.automation.boschrexroth.com/doc/1785661279/mc-movevelocity/latest/de/

but not officially released.

Thanks.
