Hi Jonas and welcome to the PLC4X project :-) I’ll do my best to help you with your setup … first … please let me ask you which version of PLC4X you are using? I’m asking cause we deleted and replaced ALL drivers from 0.6.0 and replaced them in 0.7.0 and beyond with ones generated by our in-house framework.
Unfortunately I have seen that the migration of the Beckhoff drivers was never finished, but the person doing it disappeared. I will do my best to pick up the ball and finish this asap … even if I actually don’t have the time to do it, the feeling of having this important driver un-finished is worse than keeping my deadlines ;-) Chris Von: "Hillenbrand, Jonas (wbk)" <jonas.hillenbr...@kit.edu> Antworten an: <dev@plc4x.apache.org> Datum: Mittwoch, 29.

Hi there, I’m working on using the PLC4X framework within my research projects involving datalogging from Beckhoff PLC via ADS protocol. I was able to connect with the PLC using the following code, but it fails on the line where the read request is executed: PlcConnection plcConnection = null; String connectionStr = " ads:tcp://127.0.0.1:48898/5.23.164.94.1.1:851/129.254.235.187.1.1:32835”; try { plcConnection = new PlcDriverManager().getConnection(connectionStr); if (this.plcConnection.isConnected()){ if (!this.isAdsReadable() || !this.isAdsWritable() || !this.isAdsSubscribable()) { return false; } this.logger.log("Connected successfully with " + connectionStr); return true; } else { this.logger.log(Level.ERROR, "Could not connect with " + connectionStr); return false; } } catch (PlcConnectionException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block this.logger.log(e); return false; } PlcReadRequest.Builder builder =plcConnection.readRequestBuilder(); builder.addItem(“BOOL1”, "BOOL1:BOOL"); // Boolean variable in GVL (global) list of SPS Project PlcReadRequest readRequest = builder.build(); PlcReadResponse response = null; try { response = readRequest.execute().get(); // CODE FAILS HERE } catch (InterruptedException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block this.logger.log(e); } catch (ExecutionException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block this.logger.log(e); } Console Output: Connected successfully with ads:tcp://127.0.0.1:48898/5.23.164.94.1.1:851/129.254.235.187.1.1:32835 Exception in thread "main" org.apache.plc4x.java.api.exceptions.PlcRuntimeException: Non error code received Result{AdsReturnCode{hex=0x0710, dec=1808, description='symbol not found', possibleCauses='', solution=''}} at org.apache.plc4x.java.ads.connection.AdsAbstractPlcConnection.lambda$mapFields$3(AdsAbstractPlcConnection.java:184) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap.computeIfAbsent(ConcurrentHashMap.java:1708) at org.apache.plc4x.java.ads.connection.AdsAbstractPlcConnection.mapFields(AdsAbstractPlcConnection.java:163) at java.base/java.util.stream.ForEachOps$ForEachOp$OfRef.accept(ForEachOps.java:183) at java.base/java.util.stream.ReferencePipeline$3$1.accept(ReferencePipeline.java:195) at java.base/java.util.stream.ReferencePipeline$2$1.accept(ReferencePipeline.java:177) at java.base/java.util.LinkedList$LLSpliterator.forEachRemaining(LinkedList.java:1242) at java.base/java.util.stream.AbstractPipeline.copyInto(AbstractPipeline.java:484) at java.base/java.util.stream.ForEachOps$ForEachTask.compute(ForEachOps.java:290) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.CountedCompleter.exec(CountedCompleter.java:746) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinTask.doExec(ForkJoinTask.java:290) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinTask.doInvoke(ForkJoinTask.java:408) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinTask.invoke(ForkJoinTask.java:736) at java.base/java.util.stream.ForEachOps$ForEachOp.evaluateParallel(ForEachOps.java:159) at java.base/java.util.stream.ForEachOps$ForEachOp$OfRef.evaluateParallel(ForEachOps.java:173) at java.base/java.util.stream.AbstractPipeline.evaluate(AbstractPipeline.java:233) at java.base/java.util.stream.ReferencePipeline.forEach(ReferencePipeline.java:497) at org.apache.plc4x.java.ads.connection.AdsAbstractPlcConnection.mapFields(AdsAbstractPlcConnection.java:157) at org.apache.plc4x.java.ads.connection.AdsAbstractPlcConnection.read(AdsAbstractPlcConnection.java:103) at org.apache.plc4x.java.base.messages.DefaultPlcReadRequest.execute(DefaultPlcReadRequest.java:44) at net.sytes.botg.ads.MyADSClient.executeReadRequest(MyADSClient.java:108) at net.sytes.botg.ads.UnitTest_MyADSClient.test2(UnitTest_MyADSClient.java:60) at net.sytes.botg.ads.UnitTest_MyADSClient.main(UnitTest_MyADSClient.java:44) Could anybody offer some help? Am I constructing the item for the read request correctly, what if I’m trying to read variables in a subroutine let’s say in the Project “1Achser” my PLC Project name is “SPSObject” and I have a PRG block named “MainGUI”, in there I have the variable “CurPos [LREAL]”, how would I conceive the addItem Method? --> builder.addItem(“CurPos”, "1Achser.SPSObject.MainGUI.CurPos:LReal")? Anyhelp would be appreciated. And by the way, I like the idea of PLC4X very much and love to contribute, given that I can make it work for my setup :D Best Regards Jonas
