Connecting to beckhoff twincat

Hi,
is it possible to get data form beckhoff twincat using PCO2.1 or UDS4.0?
Does it need opc server between them?
Thanks.

Did you download & install the 10.5.8 driver?

Beckhoff TwinCAT EtherCAT Master with NI 9144

I am actuall trying to use the NI9144 Device with the Beckhoff-EtherCAT Master (TwinCAT).
According to the knowledgebase I should be able to read the Interface file (ESI) with the FoE protokoll out of the NI9144 with TwinCAT.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/67E50B232055663C86257667007B01A9
Can anyone please give me some hints what I need to do?
TwinCAT supports FoE. The device is recognized on EtherCAT and there is a dialog to upload via FoE a file. I am aware that the Beckhoff Master can do this only if the IO device is in the boot mode.
When I now trigger the upload there is an option to enter a paramter (maybe the name of the configuration file inside the NI9144) but when I leave it empty there is no file being uploaded.
Thanks
Michael

I think you must create an xml file and manually copy some files to TwinCAR as stated in http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/75D691A52CF5E56E86257826005446D6?OpenDocument?OpenDocument

Beckhoff

Hello,
I want to connect a Beckhoff system with LabVIEW. I know you have to place an ActiveX component in your VI. But every time when I want to insert the AdsOcx Control as an activeX component, I get the following error:
klasse is niet geregistreerd
Class not registered
(see attachment)
Has anyone ever had the same problem?
Thank for helping

Use the VBAI to communicate with Beckhoff PLC in our line(via EtherCAT)

Hi I am very interesting with Vision Builder for Automated Inspection software, and I’d like to use the VBAI to communicate with Beckhoff PLC in our line(via EtherCAT) to develop vision system.
I see hints that I should be able to do this with Etherner/IP protocol between PLC and Vision Builder. But I cannot find any documentation on how to set up on vision builder.
Now I have a PC which already installed Beckhoff TwinCAT system and Vision Builder for Automated Inspection software that I would like to make a sample so that I can see how to communicate between Vision Builder and TwinCAT to send the pass/failed signal. Is it possible? Or do I need any other devices?
Are there any tutorials or instructions on how to do this?
Wait for your reply! Thank u!

Hi,
Unfortunately, none of our Vision target support Ethercat yet. But we'll make note of the request.
Vision Builder AI supports the Modbus and Ethernet/IP protocols that you could use to communicate with your PLC.
Regarding Ethernet/IP, Vision Builder AI supports both Explicit messaging (Ethernet/IP step) and I/O data communication (Ethernet/IP Adapter step).
For explicit messaging, Vision Builder supports the logix addressing to read and write tags.
The Vision Builder AI configuration help details how to set up I/O data communication (implicit messaging) with Allen-Bradley PLCs, and this application note details how to set up implicit I/O communication with an Omron PLC.
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/13579
Sorry, we haven't had any requests for Beckhoffs PLCs yet. If you get it to work, please post instructions here so that other users could benefit from it.
NI offers Ethercat support with our 8-Slot EtherCAT Slave Chassis for C Series I/O Modules.

BSOD with ntkrnlpa.exe

Hi guys,
I've had a BSOD caused by ntkrnlpa.exe and I would like to know if you can find out what exactly (probably some driver?) caused the crash? I can attach files later if this is possible.
Thanks, Hakosuka

Hi,
Here are some suggestions you can try:
1. Please boot into Clean
Boot Mode and Safe Mode
test the issue again.
2. Update your Chipset driver to the latest and see how it works.
If it works fine in Clean Boot, the root cause can be the third party software. If the issue reoccurs in Clean Boot, but works fine in Safe Mode,
the cause can be the disabled hardware drivers. You may narrow down the causes in Device Clean Boot.
Device Clean Boot
=================
1. Click Start, type "devmgmt.msc" (without quotation marks) in the Search bar and press Enter.
2. Expand "Sound, video and game controllers".
3. Right click on your sound card and then click "Properties.
4. In the dropdown menu of Device Usage, please choose "Do not use this device (disable)" and click OK.
5. Please use the same method to disable other dubious hardware such as: internal modem, network card and CD-R drive. Please note some devices such as video adapter are not available to
be disabled.
In addition, it is recommended to connect the Beckhoff for assistance. Beckhoff should be the best resource for this. Thank you for your understanding.

Beckhoff EK1100 - Newbie

Hello,
this is my first try to use a Beckhoff EtherCat Coppler EK1100 with an PC and LabView! So sorry for my stupid Questions
I have a Beckhoff EK1100 EtherCat Coppler with 2 EL3008 Moduls. I want to read the Values from the Channels with an Cycle Time of 1second in LabView. I use LabView 2010SP1 and Win7. I have installed the EtherCat Driver from NI. I like to use the Connection with the NET. Its looks easiere than the Dll Version
In the TwinCat Software I create a new config for the Coppler. There i can read the Values of the Channels. I also create a new Task where i have , for testing purpose, add 2 Variables.
Now i try to read the Values in LabView. And there is my problem. The Code samples for the Beckhoff Webside doesn't work (sample). I change the Port, i also change the Address of the Groups and Offset to the Values shown in the TwinCat Software. But i always get a "TwinCAT.Ads.AdsErrorException".
Now i try to create a new LabView Project with a new Hardware like in this tutorial ( Beckhoff EK1100 with LabView ).
I can create this configuration, but it is alway offline. I enter a valid IP-Address, but i cant conect to the EK1100 but i cant scan the Device or go online with this.
How can i read this variables in LabView? I could be so complicated, but i have no idea how i have to start. Maybe somebody can give me a hint or a link to a tutorial or maybe a working code sample.
Thx for your help
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello Jesse_D,
no, i have no real-time target. I only use the EK1100 as an EtherCat Slave. The PC should be my master device. I tought that i could use it like an USB Modul It is possible?
I have 2x EL3008 Analog Input Modules and i only want to measure some voltages. In the next step i want to use a EL4038 for voltage output. But one step at a time
And thanks for this link. I will have a look at it.
greedings,
Arno
Edit:
I know the side in the link. The examples doesnt work on my pc

Modbus TCP with Beckhoff (Wago)

Hi,
I'm looking for examples/how to/lib/dll to build a communication to a Beckhoff BK9000(similar to Wago 750) which have a Ethernet - Modbus TCP Option.
I'm able to write via LabVIEW-TCP-Functions but only once after powering on and the result/answer is more confusing.
For the lookout OPC variant i heared there is still some additional software needed - true? or is it possible to set up the communication with lookout OPC without third party driver?
Thanks for any help
Hans

Hi JAMR,
There are plenty of examples that setup up the tcp server communications. If you open up the NI Example Finder and double click on the Networking Folder (under the Browse tab). You can then select the TCP & UDP folder and find several examples that use TCP. Also, there is a great knowledge-base article that provides information about network communication with TCP/IP messaging protocol. Essentially, what you are going to want to do is establish basic connectivity between the computer and the device and then assign the device an IP address. Before you do anything with the driver for the device, you might try to ping the device first. Once you can get this working, then you can set up the TCP/IP communication. I hope this helps!

Beckhoff EtherCat klemmen EK1100

Ich habe im Labor einen Buskoppler EK1100 und Klemmen ELxxxx. Ich kann das Gerät mit LabView-Programm schreiben und lesen, nur mit Hilfe TwinCat I/O-Treiber. Funktioniert es vielleicht ohne TwinCat I/O-Treiber? Oder kann jemand mir andere Produkte von Beckhoff empfehlen, die mit LabView einfach kommunizieren kann. Danke für die Antwort!
Message Edited by Axun on 05-18-2010 06:47 AM

Hallo Mike,
eigendlich nicht. Ich habe nur im Labor die EK1100 und habe mich die ganze Zeit damit beschäftigt. Wenn Wago das gleiche Produkt wie Beckhoff hat, akzeptiere ich auch. Ich möchte nur einen Buskoppler mit ein paar Ein- und Ausgängen haben, die man über LabView ohne weitere Software steuern kann. Ich muss schnellstmöglich die Hardware bestellen, damit ich mit meiner Bachelorarbeit weiter machen kann. Dafür brauche ich vom jemanden eine Zusage, dass das bestellte Gerät später funktioniert. Ich kenne leider keinen, der bisschen Erfahrung mit dem Gerät hat. Es ist echt schwierig für mich. Aber ich danke dir.

Beckhoff ocx comuniation very slow

Hello everybody is my first post so If I have put it in a wrong place, please forgive me.
I'm trying to make a simple labview control panel for a Beckhoff PLC (Twincat is running in a standard pc and trial-labview in other... only for test purposes)
I have followed the beckhoff manual (http://infosys.beckhoff.com/content/1033/tcsample_labview/html/tcadsocx_api_labview_setup.htm?id=108...)
All things seems work well, but the labview control panel turns very slow, it's like there was a problem in comunication.
I have a 200ms bucle but labview is almost frozen, the panel updates every 2 or 3 seconds. (I work with only one variable for test)
(no firewall and no other elements are actived in the network)
I mean, all work well but very very very slow (the system appears semi-frozen)
Anybody had been a similar problem?
Thanks

Hello sruedat,
Are you still having problems with this setup?
Is there any particular reason why you are using OCX instead of ADS?
Let me know if you would still like some help.

Beckhoff BK9100

I try to control some digital outputs using a Beckhoff BK9100 and LV 8.5 but it doesn't work
Using TwinCAT PLC & TwinCAT System Manager it works fine, so one can suppose that all the hardware is ok (ethernet port, crossover cable, all Beckhoff hardware).
With TwinCAT the "COM" & "WDG" led's are continuously on. On the RJ45 plug, the green led blinks while the yellow is continuously on.
Attached 2 screen shots of the TwinCat System Manager settings and the LV code I made.
The idea is to see the led's of output 0 and 1 go on/off according to the buttons in LV.
Running the LV software, all led's on the BK9100 remain off.
Any help is welcome
Regards

Hi Alain,
As stated in the forum you posted, you should ask to the manufacturer of your device to have more help on how it works.
Then, your VI is calling ActiveX properties and methods to control your TwinCAT software. So if you're able to control your device with the software, you should be able to do it with LabVIEW. Maybe you missed a step wich would make the software communicating with your device before setting the levels for outputs?
Another solution is to communicate directly with your device with Modbus communication. But I don't know if you can do all configurations in that way.
Please contact the manufacturer for more informations.

Beckhoff EK1100 RT-Startup problems

Hey,
I´ve a problem with Beckhoff coupler EK1100.
When I create a project with RT-Target and EtherCAT Master and Slave the first time everything runs normally (I can read and write all I/O´s at the Beckhoff).
After a couple of restarts the RT can´t establish a connection with the EtherCAT Slave. If I disconnect the plug from the coupler and connects it, nothing happens. But if I disconnect RT and Beckhoff, restart the RT, and connect them after the RT is booted, the EtherCAT will work fine. A few restarts of the RT later, the connection can´t be established again...
Has anyone an idea what the reason could be? I tried deployes and stuff, but the missing connection after restart of RT is still there.
Is it possible that the Scan Engine has a timing problem at startup with Beckhoff EtherCAT coupler?
Thanks in advance
Fabian

Dear FJohn,
So you aren't using any NI Hardware.
Do you have a cRIO to reproducing this issue with NI Hardware?
Also I would ask you to update your NI EtherCAT Driver to version 2.7 and test if this could solve the issue.
The NI Industrial Communication for EtherCAT 2.7 is the most recent version of the software and the links for the file may not have been uploaded on the ni.com/ site.
And to refer to your question about the scan engine you could try to use the Scan Engine Pallet to reset the scan engine by setting it to Config mode and then again to active.

Ethercat : twincat to NI

Hi,
I'm currently using the TwinCat Ethercat drivers in Labview to control a couple of motors and read back speed, torque, etc.
All is working OK, but I now need to move the code from a desktop PC to LabView Real-Time ( Ni-3110 Industrial controller )
I thought I would try to use the Labview "Industrial communications for ethercat (v2.4) "
Has anybody managed to export an Ethercat device definition from TwinCat and import it into LabView ?
( I have the basic, default device XML files, and can imprt them into a LabView project, but your system has been heavily re-configured )
or, has anybody got instructions on how to write my own Ethercat slave device definition xml file ?
Thanks,
Tim.

Thanks for the eply Ian,

Are you trying to just import the twincat files or are you wanting to edit them?
We just want to import them. New system should be a duplicate of the existing system, but using the Ni-3110.
IanS wrote:
If you create a project with an etherCAT Master, you can import a device profile.
I have exported the definitions from TwinCat, ( Actions > Export XML Description... )
...and tried to import them into my LabView project (as you have shown) but they give an error : "Module reference is not defined by any slave profiles"

You can edit the xml files with TwinCAT configuration editor prior to importing.

That may be helpful - thanks.
Our motor suppliers have given us an XML definition file that gives speed values. We have imported that into a LabView project and can see the motors and speed channel in the Real-Time, EtherCAT Master device section. But our motor controllers have been re-configured / re-programmed and now give us all sorts of other variables; torque, current , temp, etc, etc. I was hoping to be able to take the default XML files and the information from TwinCat and create a new XML file. I was hoping it would be a simple cut-n-paste, but after a bit of experimentation I've not got very far. I've tried to add a channel by using the basic file as a template, but it didn't work. The new channel appears in the LabView project but no data shown when I run it.
( I'm not on the same physical site as the rig or motors, so experimentation is a long winded process of writing stuff at my desc, traveling for an hour, trying it, gathering results and traveling an hour back again. I'm just trying to get a better understanding of how the XML files are structured )
Thanks,
Tim.

and this its not working when opens the report asks for credentials
and i cannot use the remote ip for these reports that come from other machine
question
if i cannot connect to remote ip to open the report
for each report i have to create a database the report database on my machine and then open the report ?
or there is some other way to open the report ?
i am using visual studio 2013 and mysql and
<add key="MYSQLODBCDRIVER" value="{MySQL ODBC 5.3 UNICODE Driver}"/>
thanks

short
i have a report that it was created on another server with a specific dsn
now i am trying to open the report on my machine
the database from the other server does not exist on my machine

Connecting Audiovox TV (FPE3205) using Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter

I can't figure out what I'm missing here. All the connections look right, but... well, it's possible that I just don't know what I'm supposed to do now. I restarted both devices, but still, nothing. Any ideas?

You've posted in the iMac G3 CRT area. Are you asking this question about an iMac?
