    Hi Developers,

    For testing purposes I need to open a file while my application is running in using .

    The file is in the same folder of the project *.pro but always returns 0.

    Is it possible to open a file or I need to be connect on a real target?

    Best regards

    Daeio

    Hi
    Did you read the CoDeSys documentation to SysLibFile ?
    Everything you need is described there.

    What do you want ?
    Write into a .txt, or use OPC ?
    Thats 2 different things...
    Writing in a file is very easy.

    I really want to get the value from a global variable of codesys, then to safe that values into a .txt file; but i don't know if using OPC would be easier for that, that was my question about OPC. but, please if you can help me to make that, i will be thankful.

    Try this:

    FUNCTION_BLOCK WriteValueToFile_FB
    VAR_INPUT
    strFileName: STRING(255);
    strDataBuffer: STRING(255);
    END_VAR
    VAR_OUTPUT
    bDone: BOOL;
    bError: BOOL;
    wErrorID: WORD;
    END_VAR
    VAR
    dwBytesWritten: DWORD;
    dwFileWrite: DWORD := 0;
    END_VAR


    dwFileWrite := SysFileOpen(FileName:=strFileName, Mode:='a');

    IF dwFileWrite = 0 THEN (error: file couldn't be opened )
    bError := TRUE;
    wErrorID := 1;
    RETURN;
    END_IF

    dwBytesWritten := SysFileWrite(File:=dwFileWrite, Buffer:=ADR(strDataBuffer), Size:=LEN(strDataBuffer));

    IF dwBytesWritten = LEN(strDataBuffer) THEN
    bDone := TRUE;
    SysFileClose(dwFileWrite);
    dwFileWrite := 0;
    ELSE
    bDone := FALSE;
    SysFileClose(dwFileWrite);
    dwFileWrite := 0;
    END_IF

    Thanks for your code. I wonder if the error is due to the way I'm stating the name of the file, because I am stating this: strFileName: STRING (255): = 'c: / data / mylog.txt', the results from strDataBuffer is 0 I think it can be because I'm in simulation mode and I understand that you can have conflicts, have you any idea how to see the results? The PLC I'm using is a MFD4-5-XRC-30. If only work connected with the PC or does will lack the MMC?

    strFileName: STRING (255): = 'c: / data / mylog.txt';
    

    the results are:

    Hi
    As usual, SysLibs do not work in Simulation mode.
    There is no Hardware selected, so there are no SysLibs...

    All examples were checked out many times by a lot of peoples. Just believe me, i know it:) Theres a lot of peculiarities which isn't showed on figures but explained in text, and you probably miss them. But you can ask me about problem with it.I'll reply.

    i attached very simple project (special for you from Russia with love ). This one is written for PLCWinNT. Start the program and change "Start" variable to TRUE.
    It write the string WriteBuffer into file on drive "D" (you should fix it if you don't have drive D) and read it to string ReadBuffer.

    It works well

    Muchisimas Gracias a todos!... Thank you very much for your help...! I discovered that the problem I had was when the file name. Should be done according to the specified path when you enter the command files..! ie OpenFile1: = SysFileOpen ('\ disk_sys \ project \ File1', 'r ');
