Hi Folks, how can I save values so that they are loaded when the Pi boots up? I need to adjust values for timers during commissioning and have them saved for future use. I know I fan populate the prepared values of the tag but can I write to that register in run time?

CoDeSys provides a "GVL_PERSISTENT" object. If the Raspberry Pi supports it (it should), you simply have to create a GVL_PERSISTENT object and define your variables you wish to keep even after a power cycle.

Then the Retains / Retains persistent data are saved and restored on the next Startup.

Alternatively you could use the SysFile library to read and write values to text files on a specified location on the raspberry. I think there is an example in the Store that will demonstrate on how to achieve this.

But why the retain and persistant variable are reset when I download a program with a little difference?
this should not happen, see the table from the online help!

If I understand well, there is no chance to have retain variable with raspberry:

OK Edwin you are right.
