Hi everyone,
I would like to control two IO-Link grippers via a ctrlX. Since a missing license has led to an exception error when uploading my PLC project I have purchased the "CODESYS IO-Link SL" after consultation with the support as these are not yet available from Rexroth (Link to the Topic).
However, it is not clear to me whether I have activated the license correctly. To store the Codesys license in PLC Engineering I followed the instructions Quick start guide:
Afterwards the project could be transferred without error and the grippers could be controlled. However, the IO Link connection to the grippers breaks off again after about 10 minutes. The only error message I receive is from the gripper instances in PLC enginnering itself with the message "Module reports and Error".
I suspect that the license has not been activated correctly as Codesys also states that the license must either be loaded onto a dongle or installed on a SoftContainer on the controller via the license manager (Codesys - Licensing of Products) .
The red X in the license repository also indicates the message "The license for the product does not exist in the selected license container".
However, if I try "Device->Softcontainer->Select device" via the License Manager, my ctrlX is displayed, but when I try to connect I get the error message: "Connection denied by device: All available communication channels are already in use"
I'm using a ctrlX Drive with built-in ctrlX Core and ctrlX OS 2.4 as well as ctrlX PLC Engineering version 2.4.1.
I would appreciate any helpful input.
Thanks
Regards
Thomas
