Adding a Simple Logger file to the Libraries folder does not give the desired result

[jeroen_keetels]

Adding a Simple Logger file to the Libraries folder does not give the desired result.
If I put the folder I downloaded in the folder C:\Users\Public\Documents\PLCnext Engineer\Libraries.
I would expect to be able to find the function block in the Component Area.

The Directories - User libraries location: is unchanged and and is the default link.

I found the relevant function here.
https://www.plcnextstore.com/eu/app/1233

No matter what I try I can’t seem to find Simple Logger anywhere in the PLCNext surroundings.
When I open the example program that comes with this function, the software indicates that the library is not present. Which in itself is quite logical since I can’t find it myself either.
Is there a simple explanation on how to add a function block obtained from PLC Next store?

Hi, after adding the SimpleLogger library to the project, the FBs will appear in the Programming section.

Thanks for your comment.
The problem is precisely in making the function visible.

I expect I’m doing something wrong here but I can’t seem to find a clear explanation on how to do this.

There are 2 possibilities:

                                          1. Copy the *.pcwlx files to the library folder, where e.g. the AsynCom library is stored.
                                          2. When adding the SimpleLogger library you have to select the subfolder "PLCNE_SimpleLogger_3..."

PLCnext Engineer will only look in the path specified in the settings but not the subfolders.

Hi Stefan,
I have tried both options but the new function is not visible in COMPONENTS. The field remains unchanged even after PLCNext is restarted.

Here is a video showing the SimpleLogger library being added to a PLCnext Engineer (2022.6) project.

Thanks a lot for the instructions that’s exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately it does not have the desired result.
If I go through it step by step I get the following.

However, the file location is set correctly

Well there is no PLCnextBase_1_4_1.pcwlx in your folder.
Maybe try and put the library next to the SimpleLogger3.pcwlx?

Please copy the PLCnextBase library into the same folder. It is included in the download of the SimpleLogger library.

Thank you very much for your support. Now I get the following messages.

Is there anything else I can try or test? Could it be the Windows language setting?

[Stefan_Brinkmann]

In the download there is a subfolder integrated. This subfolder must be copied into the library folder.

[Martin_PLCnext_Techn]

Yes, this is the folder that must also be copied to the Libraries directory:

Now it works, thanks for your help and patience you all.
