Hi all,
Finally a Beckhoff community! Thanks to whomever decided to create it 😉
To the point... At work we have issues ever since using build 4024. We are able to add both secure and unsecure routes (tested fingerprint & preshared key methods) but whenever the PLC is rebooted or a configuration update is activated we seem to lose these routes. This causes us mayor headaches whenever our production lines lose all communication...
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!
Bart
P.S. Is anyone else experiencing TwinCAT service stopping at random when using the preshared key method?
@bartdr88 Hi! Thank you! Welcome to the community!
Have you already seen this?
You can try the steps below:
1.Delete the routes on the IPC
2.Delete the routes on your computer/laptop
3.Check the routes file located at C:\TwinCAT\3.1\Target\StaticRoutes.xml to see if you notice any issue for the Route XML tags
4. Start fresh without routes:
StaticRoutes.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <TcConfig xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <RemoteConnections> </RemoteConnections> </TcConfig>
5.Restart the IPC
@beckhoffsupport Yes I've seen it (at least now I did 😉 ). The problem on our side isn't so much that we can't create a route. When we add the route the lock or "s" symbol do appear and we are perfectly able to exchange variables. When either of the connected PLC's is rebooted or gets a configuration update, we lose the routes.
Strange thing is that most routes to our older PLC's which run a 4012 build (unsecure) are not lost. They remain alive...
When the route is succesfully added and we are exchanging variables, I do notice some weird warning.
