    Hello,

    Is it possible to add a device to an explicit connector?

    I tried the following step but it doesn't work:

    connector.add("NewDevice",device_type,device_id,device_version)

    CODESYS puts the message: 'ScriptDeviceConnector' object has no attribute 'add'

    Hi.

    Explicit connectors are special device objects which can be found in the normal object tree.

    Here some example code which adds a SoftMotion device and plugs a camera into a slot:

    proj = projects.primary
dev = proj.find("Device")[0]
conn = dev.find("SoftMotion General Axis Pool")[0]
if conn.is_explicit_connector:
   print("add SM device")
   conn.add("SM_Drive_PosControl", 1025, "0000 0001", "3.5.7.0")
conn = dev.find("Camera device")[0]
if conn.is_explicit_connector:
   camDev = conn.find("<Empty>")[0]
   print("plug camera")
   camDev.plug("MyCam", 502, "0000 0002", "1.0.0.0")
