<div class="markdown_content"><p>After a few hours, I should say that I had NO luck. Im not the best with COM, but I know I should be further than this. I don't think I have had a successful Method call yet. I either get no repsonse, or I am throwing errors.</p> <p>Either this library has a difficult roadmap to use correctly, or else it is no longer functional (but why then would it be included with the installer and registering itself as an Active Component).</p> <p>Upgrading to CoDeSys 3+ is not an option for me yet, so I really need to try and get somewhere with this.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>I am looking to do some heavy automation of Codesys for our development/publishing workflows and I would really like to use the available COM Interfaces. I do not need to automate program deployment to target PLCs, so the Gateway Server is not going to be very helpful from what I can tell.</p> <p>Is there any documentation on the COM Interfaces for Codesys. I can successfully connect to them, but I am having a difficult time using them correctly, and I can't seem to find ANY literature on them. I didn't even know they existed until I recently stumbled across a single mention of them, but they were never mentioned or explained again.</p> <p>These interfaces do exactly what I need and I would pay a fair sum to get hold of some proper literature. Even if its largely outdated, I think it would still be valuable to me.</p> <p>Thanks for any help.</p> <p>ChadP</p></div>
