Hello, What parameters are supported to be linked to the "Safety-Selection" and "Safety-Status" nodes in the Axis Profile? If they are linked do they have any affect on motion control or are they purely diagnostic? Many Thanks

Hello, The documentation suggests that the pulse outputs P1/P2 at XG32 pins 7 and 8 can be moved (to pins 1 to 6) or configured as outputs instead. However from the software it does not appear as though this is possible. Can the functionality of X32 pins 7 and 8 be changed? Many Thanks

Hello, I have seen the several existing topics on PLC retain/persistent memory. I am trying to clarify the following: 1. How to check total Retain only and Persistent data is within limits whilst developing application offline (before having hardware to check memory usage). I understand the configurable PLC Persistent/retain limit on the core to be maximum 115(118)kB for both Persistent and Retain data. However the application compiles OK when having 115kB PERSISTENT RETAIN and 115kB RETAIN only (e.g. 230kB in total). I assume when you download application to the core you will then get an out of memory error. Is there anyway to check total retain only and persistent will be within hardware limits in your offline PLC project? 2. A colleague has asked for support on similar topic... With project below if only 624 bytes of retain data are used why is this shown as nearly 95% (5% spare space)? Similarly with the persistent data if onlt 256 bytes then why does this take so much memory (37% (63% spare))? Many Thanks

Hello I have been asked to find out what Input/output byte size limitations the various Ethernet based commuications possibilities are with a CtrlX Core in Drive: 1. CtrlX OS Profinet Device - Max number of Input/ output bytes that can be declared? 2. CtrlX OS OPC UA Pub/Sub and Client - Any restriction on number of read/write data bytes in one packet? 3. CtrlX OS OPC UA Server - Any restriction on data table size? 4. CODESYS Ethernet IP Adapter - Max number of Input/ output bytes that can be declared? 5. CODESYS Profinet Device - Max number of Input/ output bytes that can be declared? 6. CODESYS TCP/UDP Function blocks - Max packet size? 7. CODESYS MQTT - Max packet size? ( I have seen Solved: adjust Maximun packet size in the parameter list (boschrexroth.com) but it wasn't clear if there was any restriction) I have done various offline tests (e.g. 4 and 5 above did not seem to generate any errors with huge IO size) and searched documentation but struggling to find definitive answers....maybe it is just a limit of network and hardware performance? Many Thanks

Thanks. I found by testing that it worked using "WriteVariableBySymbol" so this caters for multiple data types and the size limit appears to be 1400 bytes.
