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 ... View more

Hello, Is it possible to write to MLD array variables?  I can see for example ReadVariableBySymbolArrayInt but not a Write equilvalent? If it is possible is there a maximum number of array elements you can write to using eal4DotNet? Many thanks   ... View more

Hello, I have no experience with this topic however I am trying to help someone install a Node (node-red-mysql-r2) to Node-Red without having to connect their Core to the internet. Is it possible to download the package and install from file to get around this? I have seen from topic https://developer.community.boschrexroth.com/t5/ctrlX-CORE/How-to-install-nodered-nodes-for-the-palette/m-p/69582#M1441that it may be possible using a *.tgz file and there was a link to documentation in Opto22 forum but I did not understand the solution here and could find no documentation. Is it possible and if so does anyone have some simple step by step instructions for how to do this? Many Thanks ... View more

Hello, I am trying to confirm current allocation of X3 Plus network interfaces.  Ideally I would like 4 seperate network connections but do not think this is possible: HMI / Engineering - XF10 EtherCat Master - XF50 CoDesys Ethernet/IP Adapter - XF51 Enterprise Connection (MS SQL on a remote PC) - XF?.   My understanding is that X23/X24 are only supported with the Profinet Device App so cannot be used for anything else.  Is the only option for enterprise connection to be on XF10 so to be on same network as exsiting HMI / Engineering connections?
