You may refer to your supplier.  Prepare your PLC set-up plan and they may help you with the licenses needed...

Hi, Beckhoff offers a wide range of licenses depending of the function or module you are about to use. In my case I case, I bought a CX2020 and the PLC license TC1200-0050 and PLC-HMI License TF1800-0050. For instance Ethernet/IP, to be able to use this a license is needed to do its function. For learning purposes Beckhoff offers a week of trial license that can be generated directly from their TWINCAT Software. As what you can see on the attached image.

Hi! So I have my first project using Beckhoff Embedded PC. The programming was quite normal since it is IEC-61131 compliant. The thing is I came from brands like Keyence, Omron, and Mitsubishi. While Beckhoff(TWINCAT 3) software offers a totally different atmosphere. I had a stiff stages learning this PLC. Now I am in HMI Design Stage and I want to make my usual Alarm and event logs/monitoring. I have been wandering in Beckhoff Infosys for quite some time and it drive my way down to the even logger function. I did what Infosys is telling but it doesn't  work the way I am expecting it. Or maybe I am missing out something here. I have attached a snipped image of my work. My objective is to send a message/alarm into the event logger and in parallel it will show up in visualization standard event logger tool.
