<div class="markdown_content"><p>Thanks.<br/> I found video OPCDemo.swf by Prolog. My fault was that I should change PLC name 'localhost' to address (0101 in my case).<br/> Now it is working.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>In the OPCConfig you should have the tree with a Server and a PLC. The name of this PLC is not important.<br/> In the settings of this PLC, choose Gateway3 (all others can remain default).<br/> In the connection settings choose the gateway: default is localhost/1217.<br/> As PLC name or address you should choose what is given in the communication settings of your CoDeSys V3 application. This can either be the PLC name (=PC name in your case) or a number like 0101.</p> <p>If you have Windows 7, save your file as:<br/> C:\ProgramData\CoDeSysOPC\OPCserver.ini<br/> Otherwise save it in the folder where the OPC server is installed.</p> <p>Other information can be found in the .pdf which is in the installation folder of the OPC server.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>How to find error? My PLC is my computer. Computer's name is 'Samsung', device's name is MyPLC. Is it correct? Then I use Gateway3 and localhost. Where should I compare my settings?</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>After you added the variables to the symbol configurator, they are available for the opc server. What I think you still have to do is configure the opc server. Start the opc configurator and do the correct settings: plc name, gateway and connection.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>I run SoftPLC and MatrikonClient. The latest doesn't see my variable (I organized boolean variable PLC_PRG.Out1 in Symbol table). What to do? Or should I run CoDeSys Contol (runtime)?</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>You can download CoDeSys from the website w <a class="" href="http://www.3s-software.com" rel="nofollow">www.3s-software.com</a> w .<br/> I would advise V3.<br/> The installation files include the CoDeSys Control Win which is a SoftPLC which automatically starts when booting your PC.</p> <p>You can create your CoDeSys application, download it to this PLC and use the OPC server to connect to it.</p> <p>This way you can test your PLC application and your 3D software.</p> <p>The SoftPLC will stop after 2 hours. Then you manually have to restart it again, if you don't have a license for it.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>How to test PLC program (e.g., designed in CoDeSys)? Maybe there are several ways. Should I use RunTime pack? I have my own 3D visualisation named Imitator, so don't offer me CoDeSys visualisation or programming environment. May be to use your dll (ActiveX or COM object)? I tried with Siemens Simulator (see picture) but there were some inconveniences. I am looking for decisions from CoDeSys. Should I use OPC sever? Which parts are free and are there payments for something?</p> <p><img alt="IMG: Imit.jpg" rel="nofollow" src="https://forum.codesys.com//download/file.php?id=259"/></p></div>
