We use Beijer iX for several years. The main advantage is, the iX Developer does support .NET technology. It means You can use a lot of ready solutions published on many existing C# forums. Sometimes, simply copy and paste into script. They use compact and widely spread  SQLite database. GOT offer next to nothing in relation to scripting. Which database they use and how to treat it is not clear. 

Thank You very much Veganic. I will.

Dear Veganic and kaare_t, thank You very much for help. I found and downloaded the  EthernetFX3MC_GW2_V100.sul library. The problem is that another one was found as well:  EthernetFX3QMC_GW2_V100.sul. In the GX Works2 they look different. Which one is correct?. 

Hi Veganic, thank You for the answer. Now I have one FX3u-ENET unit, only. Can FX3u-ENET communicate to FX3u-ENET-P502? Are they compatible? If yes, which protocol should be used?

Thank You very much for information. What about FX3u-ENET-P502?  I need to create link between 2 PLCs (both FX3u). Simply send data (values of 80 registers) in both directions. What is better: serial or Ethernet? If Ethernet, which units, protocols should I use?   

Thank You for the answer. What actually means "similar to C", something from C works, something doesn't? Last year I was asked to write a script for GOT1000. But, because of lack of knowledge how to do it (I could not find much in manuals and forums about GOT scripting) decision was made to migrate to Beijer  iX HMI, where scripting supported much better and You can get extra help from any C# forum.  

Sorry, which language is used for scripting in GOT2000? I remember,  a language similar to C was mentioned in GOT1000 manuals. Is it still the same?

Tested Works fine. Thank You.

Thank You dear Quant. I will try it.

Dear colleagues, I need to reset values in a range of registers (for example from %MW100 to %MW599) in the Unity Pro. How can I do it with one command? Regards, Waldemar  

Do You use HMI in Your project? If yes, it may be easier to get ModbusTCP communication through HMI Ethernet port.

Thank You cHud for the answer. Is it possible to tell HMI to look for the text file in SD card (not in internal memory)? It would allow to modify the test procedure  without need to change HMI program. What, actually,  the SD card can be used for in the HMIG3U?

Hi my dear colleagues, I tried to configure data location for the text file used with text display. It works if loaded to main drive. But, if I point to secondary or optional drive the system doesn't even allow me to download the program to HMI. Error 1850..secondary drive not found. I noticed in the property inspector, that the windows for Secondary and Optional drive are grey. The Vijeo Designer V6.2 and HMIG3U with three USB ports (one mini and 2 usual) and one SD port are used.  May be, they are all disabled somewhere, with a hardware switch? But, even if the windows were active, I have no idea, what to put into them, to configure SD or USB as secondary or optional drive. Please, help. regards, Waldemar

Hi cHud, thank You for Your help. It is a program for machinery self testing. Each message relates to certain step number and informs operator what to do. If it works with 255 steps I can divide the process. But, may be, it is possible assign the text value with a script?

Hi, I am new to Vijeo. The task is to show different messages on HMI screen (I use Vijeo designer V6.2.5 and Magelis HMIG3U).  A new string variable "ToDoTxt" was created as an Array with dimension 2048. A StringDisplay was put on the screen and ToDoTxt[0] was chosen. How can I show other 2047 values, which depend on value of another integer variable "StepNumber"?
