Running Java on a PLCnext Control

Running Java on a PLCnext Control To run Java on an PLCnext Control e.g. on the AXC F 2152, a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) must be available.  There are two possible options:  On the one hand you can install the whole JDK including the JRE for ARM 32-bit. This makes… Read More

System variables – EtherNet/IP™ targets

System variables – EtherNet/IP™ targets Available for AXC F 2152 (from firmware release 2019.3), for AXC F 1152 and AXC F 3152 (all available firmware releases) A PLCnext controller can be operated as slave device in an EtherNet/IP™ (short: EIP) network, provided that this functionality is available. As of now, the controller can only be used as a target, but not as… Read More

System variables – INTERBUS master

System variables – INTERBUS master Available for AXC F x152 On INTERBUS master devices, three diagnostic registers map the diagnostic display to the control system: diagnostic status registers diagnostic parameter registers extended diagnostic parameter registers They inform the control system about the current state of the INTERBUS system. In the application… Read More

System variables

System variables System time Available for AXC F x152, RFC 4072S, and RFC 4072R Note: For RFC 4072R, see additional variables in System variables – Redundancy.  The RTC system variable is a system variable organized as a data structure. The RTC system variable can be used to retrieve information on the system time of the… Read More

IEC 61131‑3 languages with PLCnext Technology

IEC 61131‑3 languages with PLCnext Technology You can use the PLCnext Engineer software to program and configure your automation application in languages standardized in IEC 61131‑3: Structured Text (ST) Function Block Diagram (FBD) Ladder Diagram (LD) Of course you can use other programming environments for that purpose, too. Some features are… Read More
