I recently installed CODESYS Softmotion RTE V3 for a Beckhoff CX5140. During the installation process, I noticed there was not an option to select between NVRAM or UPS like older versions. Now when I go to select/type in the component CmpCXSecUPS it will not install the driver, and as a result my persistent variable are not retained on power loss. Am I missing something about this process?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I think CX20x0 has 128 kB NOVRAM but CX5140 only the 1s USV?
Thins means if Windows does a graceful shutdown on switch off,
this should work with retain in file(setting in the Control RTE)
Could you try this?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. I got the CmpCXSecUPS to show up in the configuration, and when I select it from the drop-down I see the checkbox get checked; however, I see in the diagnosis that the component fails to load.
I went into test mode via the method you mentioned. I went to C:\Program Files\CODESYS\CODESYS Control RTE3\CmpCXSecUPS and double clicked CmpCXSecUPS.reg to add it to the registry. There doesn't seem to be any change compared to before.

We seemed to fix the issue by copying the cmpCXSecUPS.sys file to C:\windows\System32\drivers and ran the cmpCXSecUPS.reg file. After a restart the system no longer errors, and the values are retained. Perhaps this is an installer bug.

could you add here the CODESYSControl_user.cfg from C:\ProgramData\CODESYS\CODESYSControlRTEV3 ?
Here is the .cfg. I see that the component exists there, but maybe there is some detail missing?
Seems to be a bug,
could you try (run as admin) bcdedit /set testsigning on and then try to load the CmpCXSecUPS

Hello,
I went into test mode via the method you mentioned. I went to C:\Program Files\CODESYS\CODESYS Control RTE3\CmpCXSecUPS and double clicked CmpCXSecUPS.reg to add it to the registry. There doesn't seem to be any change compared to before.
I can confirm my persistent variables are lost on power failure though.
