<div class="markdown_content"><p>Thank you for your answers, Shooter and Japib.</p> <p>Shooter, I am not that familiar with DDE and I read in the Codesys manual that you have to configure the GatewayDDEServer. Also, it says that the DDE interface becomes active when you login. But how can I acquire a PLC value and append that value in a file?</p> <p>Japib, your solution seems to work. Thank you for your insight.</p> <p>But what I am trying to do is some kind of sampling archive. I want to keep adding PLC values into a file on the PC, directly from the Codesys visualization, at certain times during the day, automatically.<br/> I cannot use recipes, as I have to manually save to file and I cannot append values. Or maybe I don't see it right.<br/> Do you see a way to do this?</p> <p>Sorry for not being specific the first time and thank you for your patience.</p> <p>Regards,<br/> Lucian</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>You can use Watch and recipes manager (from Ressources).<br/> With the recipe manager you can save/restore value in a file on the PC. <br/> You can use it from the Codesys Visualization by using a button with "Execute Program" .</p> <p>Best regard </p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>if you use the simple serail connection nd you have a codesys running on the PC you can use DDE<br/> if not then you have to use OPC.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hello.</p> <p>I have a PLC and a PC connected to it via serial interface.<br/> Is there any way that I can save a value from the Codesys Visualization directly on the PC (not on the PLC)? Can I do it by making use of some ActiveX functionality or some other way? How?</p> <p>Thank you,<br/> Lucian</p></div>
