Hello Community,
Is it possible to read and write S20 Ethercat bus coupler AI-4-I using OPCUA in CtrlX?
I tried testing using UA Test client, however i could not expand to read and write via UA Test client. (see below.)
Warmest Regards,
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hello Kelvin,
the current resolving of the Ecat-DatalayerKnots is limited yet. The implementation does not cover yet the subnotes under instances. Not nice but I case you can live with a workaround inside the PLC. you could make the values available als RTData read and provided as new RT-Variable by the PLC. ( Time delay of 1cycle expected/acceptable?).
1.Add the RT-Infos of the AI-channels to the PLC.
2. Provide new vars als RT Vars into the Datalayer (using the pragma declare)
3. copying read value to new var.
Unfortunately I can not provide a releasedate for the expected resolving.
OK?
Bye

hi @kelvin
In the new ctrlX app (etherCAT and OPCUA Server) and system image version 2.04, you can now read and write the etherCAT IO channels from the OPCUA client.
