SAFEXC-12 communication error between ctrlX IO and ctrlX PLC?

Hello,

When we export the real-data in the ctrlX IO it appears the following errors exporting the SAFEX,

 

I don't really know if it is because of this error but then in the PLC app we cannot find the .xml of the SAFEX,

We are using the last version of the ctrlX IO and PLC (1.12) and we have inserted the xml of the device,

Is there a way to import the xml of the SAFEX to the PLC?

Thanks,

Hello,

1. the first screenshot is a well known behaviour - it is not a feature its a bug(314259) in the ctrlX IO Engineering. Development is working on it - solving date is not planned yet.

2. The ESI File for the ctrlX SAFETY is not delivered with the ctrlX WORKS Package.
You have to collect it in the Collaboration room: SAFEX-C.1x ESI-File 
Install it into your project into the IO-Engineering.

install ESI file in ctrlX IO Engineering

We think you just installed the ESI in the IO-Engineering. For the PLC Engineering yoiu do not need the ESI file.
When the configuration is finnished in the ctrlX IO-Engineering, you have to transfer the configuration from the IO-Engineering to the control.

Afterwards you can fetch the IO-configuration in the PLC-Engineering with the steps:

Then you will see the FSoE and the functional IO from the ctrlX SAFETY in the PLC project.

  1. Background info:
    a) The ESI file for the ctrlX SAFETY is a 2-file ESI - you have to install the marked file (this is the certified ESI)
    The second file with the "Modules" inside is automatically fetched during the installation process with the Basis ESI in the background.
    b) This has to be done on each engineering PC where the Project is used. The ESI file is not packed in the project-backup.
