if i use an evaluation license, can i create configurations for the plc freely?

I know it’s too late, but you and your topic reminded me today that I had a simple guide for a ‘Hello World’ program with B&R on my to-do list. So, use my guide as a recap of what you did today [image] Getting started with B&R, "Hello community" first project Share Info & Ideas …

maybe for now it’s just making and doing exercises, maybe later I will reset the IP, because at the moment I still often encounter lots of problems

because at this time my plc can no longer connect to the pc

If the setting of the IP address and subnet mask does not match to the setup of the network on your development machine with Automation Studio, then you won’t get online at all. So I only can recommend again to check your IP settings inside the project, and if they match to your network settings of…

but this problem only appears when I insert a memory card, without a memory card my PLC will be detected

Hi, yes, that’s normal. If you don’t have inserted a CF card, the so called BootAR (AR = Automation Runtime, the operating system) is started. The BootAR is a minimized version of the operating system stored in a hardware mounted memory of the PLC. The only functionality of BootAR is to boot a PL…

What I can see from the picture is, that the PLC is in error (at least it looks like since the R/E Led seems to be solid red). For testing purpose, I would recommend to start an epty test project from scratch: make a new project with the suitable PLC set SNMP to activated set a suitable IP addres…

So, for example, if I want to do a test project with just a light and switch, don’t I need to add an I/O module to my PLC? Can I directly use a port that is already integrated with the PLC? I use a x20cp1583 PLC

Hi, sorry, maybe my answer was a bit unprecise: Sure you’re right, to use external sensors and actors you need IOs also. My recommendation was only meant to find out the reason, why your PLC does not start im RUN and why you can’t establish an online connection. Best regards!

oh okay, I understand what you mean, maybe I need to try one by one manually, inserting the program package using a card reader, then if the program has been installed on the memory card, will the program automatically run when I insert the memory into the PLC or what?

Yes, this is what I meant: try to go step by step, first with commisisioning the system to ensure that the PLC is coming up like expected, then configure the needed hardware and software, and so on… … doing it step by step will hopefully help to understand what’s happening when, and to find out wha…
