My current program is to read the data in XML, and put the INT value corresponding to STRING into int16 xml_s[5] with the Map function.Int16 xml_s2 [7].And then to PLCnext.Nothing wrong with the compilation. My tests showed that the DemoXMLtestComponent was not called.Could you please help to …

How do I set the time zone in the PLC next controller AXC F 2152? Proficloud data is logging 6 hours in the past, which makes sense, because the time zone reported by the $date command in the Linux CLI shows UTC and I am in central time, UTC-6. PLCnext engineer doesn't seem to read or write the time zone from the…

Hi, I started creating some simple HMI to be able to display info from my c++ program. I made this tagging in my c++ program: //#port //#attributes(Output|Ehmi) //#name(Sim_voltage_HMI) float32 out_voltage_HMI = 0; How do I get this value into the HMI. I searched the forum found some talk about it but can't make it wor…

I also checked the perquisites which are also fine. My setup is as follows * PLCnext Engineer →2019.6 * PLCnext Command Line Interface (CLI)…

Hello, Is it possible to export a self created function block in PLC-Next (function block created with IEC-61131 - ST-code). In this way it is possible to import this function block in another PLC-Next application and manage a library of function block's. Thank you, regards Richard

Hi, I'm trying to write an application in python3 where one part of the application is an interface to the plc runtime. I managed to do it with an opcua client before, but now I'd like to use the REST API. The controller is HW02 and upgraded to FW2020. Currently I fail to get access to the plc. The code below is an…

I am getting loss of WBM and PLCNext Engineer after upgrade to 2019.6, I can downgrade to 2019.0.4 LTS and restore both WBM and PLCNext Engineer. I have tested this on two AXC F 2152 and can replicate this issue. Is this a know issue or Do you have a link to 2019.3 as i no longer have the firmware file saved. The WBM i…

good morning: I am communicating plcnext with the sick brand gateway through profinet, I have already added the device and I have linked variables but the LEDs "BF-C" and "BF-D" are still blinking so I have not been able to establish profinet communication, The idea is that the plcnext is a controller and the sick gate…

Hi., I am trying to communicate AXC F 2152 with ILC131 through Profinet protocol, communication is establishing and data is also transferring. But the Profinet status showing in WBM is Warning code 0x0020 and text message is Bit5: Neighborhood information is not available. What does it mean? How to clear this?

I have checked the path and it is correct for the command line tool. C:\Program Files\Phoenix Contact\PLCnCLI 2019.0 LTS is where plcncli.exe is located.
