Hi all,
I will appreciate some help on the configuration of TwinCAT OPC server with a Beckhoff BX9000 PLC, as the documentation I have is not terribly helpful.
I load the .TPY file from PLC project and configure the AMS address (the IP adress with 1.1 appended) and the OPC configuration program says "Successfully loaded", but when I connect with an OPC client, all tags are with quality bad (out of service, configuration error). I don't know what I am missing as it should be quite straightforward. The OPC should work standalone (no Twincat System on that PC) and the OS is Windows XP SP3.
At first I thought that something additional should be done for the PLC, so I tried to enable ADS server check box in System Manager, but that makes the PLC go to fault with a message "TC FAULT, ERROR 0x323A" and the error code is not present in the documentation.
Anyway, this option seems to be unneeded, so the cryptic error remains a curiosity and the main problem is how to make the OPC work.
If somebody has a link to a more thorough resource on configuring the TwinCAT OPC, I will appreciate the assistance.
