    I have a project with an EtherCAT master, a Modbus TCP master and a Modbus RTU master.
    We are making automated tests and part of the result should be information regarding the devices and project settings.

    I've used CmpIECTask to obtain what I need from the task settings, works fine.

    But how can I obtain the following information programmatically during runtime?

    I'm aware not all of this will be possible to obtain, but please hint me on how to obtain what I can.

    Hi,
    I think you should look at the CmpApp library, there is also an example on Store. Look for Applicationmanager in Codesys store.

    You can use the CmpApp like so:

    PROGRAM Version_POU
    VAR
    pApp: POINTER TO APPLICATION;
    tResult: POINTER TO RTS_IEC_RESULT;
    pAppInfo: POINTER TO APPLICATION_INFO;
    strProjectName: STRING(255);
    strAuthor: STRING(255);
    strVersion: STRING(255);
    strDescription: STRING(255);
    strProfile: STRING(255);
    strLastChanges: STRING;
    END_VAR

    // Project Name, Author, Version, Description, Profile, and Last Changes
    pApp := AppGetFirstApp(pResult := tResult);
    IF pApp <> 0 THEN
    pAppInfo :=AppGetApplicationInfo(pApp, tResult);
    strProjectName :=pAppInfo^.pstProjectName^;
    strAuthor := pAppInfo^.pstAuthor^;
    strVersion:=pAppInfo^.pstVersion^;
    strDescription:=pAppInfo^.pstDescription^;
    strProfile:=pAppInfo^.pstProfile^;
    strLastChanges:=DT_TO_STRING(pAppInfo^.dtLastChanges);
    END_IF

    This will display the settings show under Project -> Project Information

    Getting library version, I'm not sure how to do.

    I need the same as you to know about the input outputs of every devices.

    I have use the iostandard library. There is a function which returns an array of ioconnectors. And every connector has an array of iodevicesparameters.

    But at the end I can't get the iomaps.

    I cannot find information about the devices parΓ metres.

    Thank you, but CmpApp does not provide what I'm looking for.
    I'm starting to think the information I want is not within the compiled file or simply not accessible by code.

    Hi Kim,
    I could give you two of your wanted Information:

    //Compiler Version
    ver := __SYSTEM.Constants.CompilerVersion;
    //Ethercat Master Version
    Ethercat_Master.m_info.szFirmwareVersion;
