Spider Control read datalayer

[ham1hel]

Hi, i've just started a short evaluation of spider control and a few questions arised:
1. When importing the application xml file, structs and inputs/outputs of function blocks are not presented as variables is there any way to make these work?
2. If i want to read a node that is not in the symbol-list of the plc like the cpu utilization, can i do that somehow? @ininet

Hi ham1hel,

Thank you for your request.

1.) We are preparing the xml import of structures for next version of ScadaEditor. But there is a workaround. You can directly access a datapoint name in our ScadaEditor by addressing it with a notation like struct.member. This is still usable with software ctrlx-spidercontrol-scadaserver_1.0.3.

2.) We have released a preview version ctrlx-spidercontrol-scadaserver_1.0.4 which supports this feature. With version 1.0.4 you need to address the datalayer with the prefix / e.g. /datalayernode/datalayersubnode/... . You can contact us at info@ininet.ch if you want to get this preview version.

Best regards

Manuel
