Currently I have ctrlx WORKS version 1.20, but I should have ctrlx WORKS version >= 2.3 I have another question posted here: https://developer.community.boschrexroth.com/t5/ctrlX-PLC/Where-to-download-ctrlX-WORKS-version-2-3/m-p/86200#M1193

I would like to import a flatbuffers file into the PLC. According to this readme: https://github.com/boschrexroth/ctrlx-automation-sdk/tree/main/samples-iec61131/fbs-read-write I should use ctrlX WORKS / PLC Engineering version >= 2.3.0 Where can I download this version? Currently I'm only able to find version 1.20 which doesn't enable the "Import from flatbuffers file" option as described here: https://developer.community.boschrexroth.com/t5/ctrlX-PLC/Failed-to-create-flatbuffer-PLC-library/td-p/82392 Thanks in advance!

I'm trying to follow the readme in `ctrlx-automation-sdk/samples-iec61131/fbs-read-write` but I stuck at the following: * Select PLC node Application, right click and select context menu item 'Import from Flatbuffers File...' I cannot find the "Import from Flatbuffers File ..." menu item. When I right click the PLC node Application I can Login or Add an object but nothing related to a Flatbuffers file. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I will use a very simple example to show my problem. I created a DUT (data unit type) named MY_COMPLEX in the PLC as follows: TYPE MY_COMPLEX : STRUCT p1:INT; p2:INT; END_STRUCT END_TYPE I created a variable in structured text by: my_complex: MY_COMPLEX:=(p1:=1,p2:=2); Now I'm able to read the value of 'p1' using Python and ctrlx_datalayer by: address = "/plc/app/Application/sym/PLC_PRG/my_complex/p1" result, data = client.read_sync(address) value = data.get_int16() # value == 1 But I would like to read both values, p1 and p2, at once. I do not want to use the BulkRead possibilities, because when the number of addresses increase it will get much slower than a single read. Should I investigate the flatbuffers type? If so, how to create this in the PLC? Are there other possibilities? Note that in my real application I would like to have an array of DUT types, and I would use both read and write. Ideally I would do conversions at Python side to convert to/from bytes, and send bytes using the datalayer.
