I’m having issues writing to TIME variables using the REST API. The other non-time related types have not given me any problems (BOOL, INT, STRING, etc). I’m sending the following request to /_pxc_api/v1.2/variables: {"pathPrefix":"Arp.Plc.Eclr/","variables":[{"path":"M.maxTime","value":3600000,"valueType":"Constant"}]} In this case, I want to set a TIME value of 1 hour (3600000ms). The value on the PLC, however, is not changing. I have tried a few other formats just to see if they work: “value”:“T#1h”, or “value”:“T#3600000ms”, but so far nothing has worked. Is writing to TIME variables supported using the REST API? Is there a specific format required when doing so? Reading a TIME variable works just fine, with it giving me a JSON number value in milliseconds. Thank you, John
Hi John, first of all sorry for the delay, the post has slipped through our fingers… I’ve just had a chat with our dev team and indeed is the write access via REST currently not implemented. We’ve have it in our backlog, but not a concrete planning for that. Have a great weekend, Frank
Frank, thank you for the reply. For now, I will write to a DINT and then copy that to a TIME variable in the PLC. -John
