Hi Community, I am looking for a way to display static settings from a configuration of an object in a visualization. I use IF3 interface as Ethernet/Modbus master and would like to display the master IP address from “X20CP1584.IF3[Configuration]” in the visualization. I would also like to visual…

Glad I could help! Corne’s solution will also work (and means less code) as long as your configuration settings won’t change during runtime. If the settings are changed and the data object is not updated then the configuration settings you use could be incorrect. In general there’s a tradeoff betwee…

Hi Albert, The easiest way to get the PLC’s IP address is with the CfgGetIpAddr function block in the AsArCfg library. I’m not sure if a similar approach is possible for Modbus or Profinet devices, so hopefully someone else has an idea here. If you want to read the full hardware configuration file…

Hi Marcus, thanks for this first information. I have looked into the provided example for the AsIOMMan functions (which uses AsIOMMRemove() and AsIOMMCreate() FunctionBlocks). In the example the two data objects “config1” and “config2” must already exist in the AutomationStudio project. When i use…

Do I have to create this (empty) data object (e.g. “myCfgInfo”) also in advance in AutomationStudio? I don’t think you can create a Data Object in advance, or else you’ll get error 30177. It looks like the AsIOMMCopy function block is expecting to create a new data object in the memory area speci…

Hi Marcus, Thank you very much for your valuable advice. I was able to make some progress and, for example, read out the configured IP address of a ModbusTCP_any slave (in my example “192.168.210.33”) by parsing the XML data (see attached example). However, there are still some questions open for m…

Hello Corne Geerts; also thanks for this advice. Can you tell me where i can see those data objects when i check the box? Should i see the file ‘CfgData.br’ anywhere in my project-filesystem or in AutomationStudio after a rebuild?

You make the changes in your project. You change the name of Cfg and Iom files and do a build. [image] The files are located in the folder\Temp\Objects\Config1(AS_CPU_PATH)\AS. You can move these files with windows explorer to a package in your logical view of your AS-project. Then you repeat t…
