    Hi,

    How can I enable logging into a PLC remotely via the Automation Server? I am in a Codesys project IDE that is connected to Automation Server, but in Device -> Communication Settings -> Gateway, the list of Edge Gateways do NOT show up. How can I get the Edge Gateway list to appear?

    Hi,
    just open a project from server... then all available Gateways will be added automatically.

    Hi, Edwin,

    I looked there, but did not see those options. I believe my project is connected to Automation Server. I attached screenshots. Also, I am using SP14 if that changes anything.

    Thanks,
    Jefferson

    Hi, Edwin,

    I got the Automation Server Edge Gateways to sync with my Codesys project. However, although my VC Edge Gateway shows ONLINE in CAS, it shows RED in my Codesys project. Do you know why this is? I attached a screenshot.

    Thanks,
    Jefferson

    Hi Jefferson,
    agree that currently there is an error - see the same issue on my Gateways.
    Let me check.

    Hi,
    I was wrong, this works!

    You need to take care on 3 points.

    1. The plc below the Remote Gateway need to be added to the Automation Server - if not no scan result occure
    2. The Edge Gateway need to be at least 3.6SP16 version
    3. If the Remote Gateway in CODESYS is green - but no scan results - check either point 1 or disable the filter in the scan ( your project contains a different plc to the one which is in the Automation server attached

    If this does not solve it we need to check online - > CODESYS Store -> my question bug report.
