Hello,
I have created some code which contains a class named “Tank”.
The “Tank” class contains another class inside it as a variable which is named “Pipe” and contains 2 boolean variables (inputSwitch and outputSwitch).
How can I add the “Tank” class to my PLCnext Program Code and match the inputSwitch and outputSwitch of the “Pipe” class contained in it to actual I/O modules?
Any help is appreciated in advance!
Hello dimitrismvrm,
I hope I understand you use case correctly and would like to recommend follws:
* Define a Input and Output variables if you implement a FB or In- and Output-Variables, if you implement a Progrogram. This variables are you Data-Input and Data-Output flow to process data.
* Depends on your Input-Data you can manage the inputSwitch and outputSwitch of the "Pipe" class, e.g. via a method call/execution.
If I don’t understand you use case correctly, please provide me the Source code of your project. Please use the following contact (if your company located in germany): Kontakt | PHOENIX CONTACT

Well, my actual question is this. I have created a PLCnext C# Program which has some variables I want to connect to the actual Inputs and Outputs of my PLCnext device.
_outputSwitch_Pipe1 to digital_output_1 of my PLCnext device
_outputSwitch_Pipe2 to digital_output_2 of my PLCnext device
_inputSwitch_Pipe1 to digital_input_1 of my PLCnext device
_inputSwitch_Pipe2 to digital_input_2 of my PLCnext device
How can I do that inside PLCnext Engineer?
Hello dimitrismvrm,
the LibraryBuilder automatically generates the “.pcwlx” library within the process of Visual Studio compilation. The file is located in your project folder, e.g. C:/Users/ /workspace/FirstProject/Bin.
You have to proceed the follwong steps:
Importing a library into PLCnext Engineer
1. 2. Instantiating a program (plcnext.help) (also showed in video for C++ programming in timeslot of 4:44-5:00 minutes : https://youtu.be/IUGSZzuzm-c)
3. Configuring Axioline F modules (plcnext.help)
4. Assigning process data (plcnext.help) e.g. connect the consumer Variable in C# program “_inputSwitch_Pipe1 to digital_input_1” with the producer Out-Port-Process data “dio-1/IN00”.
5. Please note, the Datatypes of In- and Out-Port Variables must have the same elementary datatype (for connecting). It is not possible to connect the Boolean In-Port-Variable with Integer Out-Port-Variable!
I think, the descriptions will help, if not, please let me know.

Alright I think that helped me a lot! Thank you Eduard! Step 4 was where I got confused.
