Import of a Codesys Library (Package) not possible within ctrlX PLC Engineering

[PedroReboredo]

Is it possible to install a Codesys package directly within ctrlX PLC Engineering? As I was trying to import one (Oscat Base lib) the library manager shows an error message.

Thanks in advance!

There are several version of the OSCAT libraries available. Could you please tell us which one you are trying to import?

The older Version of this library is based on 32 bit and ctrlX CORE is based on 64 bit so it would not fit. See also topic "Is there an OSCAT Network library supported in ctrlX Core?".

See also some information about installing the package in topic "Smart Function Kit using a ctrlX CORE connected through EtherCAT".

You tried to install a CoDeSys package via the library manager, but that's the wrong way for a package. For installing a package you need the "Tools> Package manager". In newer CoDeSys versions the package manager is renamed to "Tools>Add On installer".
