Hi all, i'm new in this forum, and I am evaluating all 4DIAC functions, step by step.

I am using 4DIAC Version: 1.8.4 Build id: 2017-02-01_1155 on a Vista 32 computer.

I am using XPlus3 existing sample project which works fine.

But I can't use FBTester, trying to test it on existing function F_ADD.

To test it, I proceed as follows :

a) In the Window \ Preferences \4DIAC \ FORTE preferences \ FORTE location is pointing on \runtime\FORTE\1.8.4\Win32\forte.exe.
b) In the Deployment view, I click on Launch Local FORTE button
c) In the Type Management view, I double clic on XPlus3\IEC61131-3\Arithmetic\F_ADD function block to open F_ADD window.
d) I click FBTester Tab, Then I select "FORTE Remote Tester" in the Test Configuration listbox, IP-Address 127.0.0.1 and Run time port 61499
e) When I clic "Start Testing FB", I am not able to use it, and following errors occured :

Either an Error popup "FB can not be tested because of the following error : <Response ID="0" Reason="INVALID_STATE" />

Either another one "FB can not be tested because of the following error : Software caused connection abort: recv failed"

And in the \workspace\.metadata\.log file, following log appears, (sometimes with another Unicode as (Unicode: 0x1) for instance) :

What's wrong ?

Please Help.

the F_ADD function block is a special one, since it has ANY_xxx interface elements. The data values of such Elements have to be typed, e.g. INT#2. This should solve your Problem, since my Tests on 1.8.4 have been successfull.
