Solved: Using golang with driveConnect

ham1hel · ‎04-05-2023

Hi,
I'm trying to use Golang in combination with DriveConnect v1.18 in order to read some informations from SercosIII drives belonging to a CML65 MTX system.

I'm having some issues to add the drives in the datalayer though, i've read through
https://docs.automation.boschrexroth.com/doc/3679523030/drive-connect-app/latest/en/
But here only http requests are shown and if possible i would like to avoid that.

What i've seen is that the request has /automation/api/V1.0/devices/drives/adddevice as path whilst the rest api and datalayer all use the /automation/api/V2.0

I've also tried with node-red to do a write on devices/drives/adddrive with the following:

var newMsg = {};
newMsg.payload = {
    "type": "object",
    "value": {
        "ipaddress": "192.168.143.1",
        "protocol": "sip"
    }
}
return newMsg;

But i only get DL_TYPE_MISSMATCH, same if i try it using the RestAPI

Is there any way to use the datalayer in order to add remote drives?

Hi,

I just tried it out and got it working by setting the Payload of the Data Layer WRITE node to "value + type (json)".

Payload to "value + type (json)"

I send the same payload like you:

{
    "type": "object",
    "value": {
        "ipaddress": "192.168.133.2",
        "protocol": "SIP"
    }
}

Best regards,

Nick
