Writing on ctrlX Logbook

[Anonymous]

Hi,

is there a way to write an entry into ctrlX logbook?

Moreover, is there a way to write an entry into ctrlX logbook via the PLC app by a Codesys function block?

Thank you!

Ciao Silvia,

unfortunately from PLC this is not yet possible.

It is planned for RM21.11

Hi,

for now you have two options:

1. writing your own app, in the upcomming release of the sdk are examples how to set diagnosis
2. using the REST interface of the datalayer
   1. Description can be found here in the "ctrlX CORE Runtime, Application Manual"
   2. ctrlX diagnostic system

Is it possible to write something to logbook from plc side now?

Currently you can set diag messages with functions "LogAdd2" to the Codesys PLC logger. In case of errors and warnings this will be automatically written to the ctrlX logbook.

For the direct access PLC <-> ctrlX logbook there were some FB planned with the Version 1.16 but shiftet to 1.18 (RM 22.11).
