Hi

We have ADS communication between 2 PLCs and for now the routes between the PLC and the other PLCs are project routes and temporally

And I think when the network is down for some reason it makes the routes down and they have to restart the PLC to reestablish the connection again, I think that adding the routes to be static routes would help to solve this issue.

But I tried several ways to add the routes as static but it would always not successful:

First method:

               Is to add the static route from static route tab in the TwincatXAE  on PLC 1 but it cause a lot of issue ( ADS communication totally down and I ha

d this error message on the remote PLC)

Second method:

               From PLC 1 BSD system I used this command to add the route in the remote PLC

               ads 192.168.204.2 addroute \

  --addr=192.168.209.2 \

  --netid=5.125.213.204.1.1 \

  --username=Administrator \

  --password=1 \

  --routename=BTN-000T8BC5

In this way I was successful to add the static route and I check the remote PLC TwinCAT and StaticRoutes.XML file and both had the route, but sadly after PLC restart it was deleted.

Third Method:

               I Manually edited the StaticRoutes.XML on both PLCs by adding the routes to it but also it was deleted after restart.

Fourth Method:

               I used the device manager on each PLC to add the route as static route and I checked again the TwinCAT and staticRoutes.XML file and it was there but also after restart it was again deleted.

Both PLC are using Twincat 3.1.4024.29 and both are Twincat BSD 13

Any support in this issue?
