Offline PLC
« on: September 24, 2014, 08:04:18 AM »
Hi to all.

Being a newbie to this great package, I have a question maybe someone out there could answer.

I am using AdvancedHMI with Codesys V2.3.9 and 2 Eaton HMI/PLC on OPC comms.

If a PLC is offline, I get an exception error in Public Function Write

I have put on onerror resume next in which seems to work ok and Comms starts again when PLC is powered.

Is this an expected event.

Cheers.

It is normal for an exception to be thrown if the driver cannot read/write to the controller. Any read or writes should be inside an Try-Catch block.
