Ethernet/IP in PLC license issue.

[TN_X]

Hi All,

I have installed license for Ethernet/IP scaner for ctrlX core.

How ever, when I add the node Ethernet/IP in PLC then I cant download because it informed me there is no license! (See attached picture)

Do you know this problem? please share with me.

Thank you!

Which PLC app licenses do you have on your ctrlX CORE? As you are using 3 Tasks you will at least need PLC Basic and PLC Standard. See store page "ctrlX CORE - PLC App":

ctrlX CORE - PLC Basic License
R911397817 - SWL-XC*-PLC-PLC**********-BANN

ctrlX CORE - PLC Standard License (add-on)
R911411765 - SWL-XC*-PLC-PLC**********-NNNN

Sorry CodeShapherd,

I need to confirm one more. As I am using multi-task, so I need standard license (Add-on) then I only need to upgrade from Basic license to Standard license => Only 01 license OR I need to install both Basic license and standard license?

Thank you!

You need both license. The basic PLC and the standart PLC add on license.

[TN_X]

Yeah.

So the advanced license is the same. Need basic + standard + advace to use full functionality of ctrlX PLC.

But, do you know when we need Advanced license? As I understand Advanced license is to use with multi-core to optimize the cycle time or task handling, right? Is there any additional function of this kind of license?

Thanks.

You are right. If you want to use the "full" PLC you need all three.

Advanced is at the moment and like you mentioned for multi core usage only.
