I have this issue with new and old projects. Start a new project, add a screen, and imidiatly I am unable to add any symbols, including the default symbols and al…

Hello, I am working on trying to implement a function block that I use in RSLogix 5000 in PLCnext Engineer and was wondering if there is an existing block? Or will this have to be a custom block? It would be very helpful to have an example of it if it needs to be custom. The block is called a Bit Field Distribute (BTD)…

HI, Dear Sirs, I am having problems uploading the PLC program to the new firmware version. First I uploaded the new PLC program with the new metrics for telemetry.

Hello, i have a very old AXL F 2152, HW2 FW 1.0.0.250. The webpage does not provide any options to update the firmware. What tools or instructions does PxC provide to be able to update the unit firmware.

Hello people, how are you? Due to my Spanish language I need to place accents in the texts that appear in the HMI. If I place that accent from code, or by pressing the key, or with Alt-164, the letter ñ appears appropriately. If I press “Enter” the “ñ” character changes to “?” and looks like this.. We have created an…

Hello, I am trying to connect an SEW eurodrive motor to an AXL F 2152 plc, and I cant seem to figure out this revision issue. I have both flashing BF-D and BF-C on my controller, so i assume the communications issue I am having is due to this. I am able to get the profinet to show the device status as OK (shown above),…

Hi everyone, I have a communication between a phoenix contact PLC (AXC F2152) and an IFM PLC (CR721S). The communication is established using the Modbus_TCP_8 Library with PLCnext Engineer 2023.6. When I replace the Modbus TCP _8 Library with the Modbus_TCP_12 Library, communication is interrupted and I get the FC4…

Hi, When creating HMI symbols, it is very strange that it is not allowed to use boolean operators (such as NOT, AND, OR) etc in the input field for those parameters. It seem to be allowed everywhere else variables are used. Example below, where I am displaying two electrical breaker symbols. They should always be inver…

Hi all, I'm trying to read my EH PMC21 Pressure Sensor data through an IO-Link communication. I have uploaded the IODD file EH provided to my software. It seems that I cannot assign PLC variables to the data item (Measurement Pressure Value) automatically or manually. However, I did that easily for other data items…

I have implemented the HMI alarming from the PLCNext Engineer online help, when I try to run it using the "Simulating Preview" i get the following errors: Plc failed: 'Exception occurred: Cannot get metadata for session id '0'' - at component Arp.Services.AlarmServer on StartPlc(startKind=Warm) Session…

Hello, I have a problem in PLCnext Engineer for quite a long time now. I am using PLCnext Engineer 2024.6 The problem is that when I rebuilt my project in visual studio, then sometimes in PLCnext Engineer I get errors like this. What I then have to do is disconnect all of these variables and reconnect them exactly the …

Hello, We have the following problem in our training lab: PLCnext Engineer cannot find the Codemeter license (error 200). In fact, there is no license in the CodeMeter Control Center. We have tried several solutions (based on older answers in the forum on this topic): - PLCnext Eng. reinstallation and/or repair - We tr…

Dear Support Team, I am working on integrating a binary switching sensor connected to the AXL F EX IS AI8 HART XC 1F analog input module. The sensor operates on a two-wire loop-powered system, outputting 8 mA (Low State) and 16 mA (High State). Since the module includes both normal analog inputs and HART-specific input…

Good evening, I have a servo motor which I have to rotate on different angles using Axl f pwm2 1H module. I need a function block to run this in plcnext engineer software to control the servo motor with the axl f pwm2 1H module

As we attempt to set up OPC UA communication between the two PLCnext controllers, we are working to better understand the BadCertificateUntrusted error we have been receiving. Findings: All connection attempts via UaExpert to the PLC are successful when we set: "Use the truststore for client authentication” to off “Che…

Hi Team, We have the controller AXC F 1152 with a little program. Now we want to write a little error log into a text file. I need some help how I can write the code therefore. Maybe someone was creating something like this before and can give some tipps. Thanks & BR Bodo

I have been experience the UTL0001 Error in both old and new projects. Existing projects that historically would build now exhibit this error. There is limited documentation that I can find on this error message and the internal documentation of PLCNext Engineer does not seem to exist. I have read a few other posts tha…

Hello, I have created a C# program which I transferred to PLCnext Engineer so I have the following GDS Port List. What I would like to do is create an HMI Page which shows when the outputSwitch_Pipes are TRUE and when they are FALSE. Also I would like to extend this to add some C# counters I use in my C# code so that I…

Hello, The PLCNext Engineer Chart object is displaying trends with a time scale that is 2 hours behind the current time of the controller. I have set the PLC controllers time to the current system time but the issue still persists. Does anyone have any solutions?

I need the PLCnCLi 2019.3 for windows to build some older c++ projects in eclipse. Previously I could download this from the website when I needed it, but the archive does not go back further than 2020.0.
