As the documentation points out you our opc da integration only works with a CLIENT FB.

Thank you for your replay. I do a demo according to the document. After triggering the INIT event, the OPC-client connected with the OPC-server. But when I trigger the REQ event to send the data from client to server, it doesn't work. The Virtual Controller state is still disconnected.

I want to read or write data to a opc da server, so I do the second test. I use Simple OPC Server Simulator as my local opc da server. When I trigger INIT event, the connection is ok. After triggering the REQ event, it seems nothing happened.

ID input is opc[127.0.0.1:opcserversim.Instance.1:2000:0.01:Int64Value:IntegerValue]

I must confess I've never used the OPC DA client myself. We nowadays mostly use OPC UA. However I see one problem that your output RD_1 is not connected. This leaves the output as ANY and therefore the code in the background does not know what to do. Furthermore I see that your input tag has 64 in it but you configured an INT value as input which is 16 bit. Can this be a problem?

I tried it the way you said, but the result is the same. When I build the FORTE, there are some errors. The attachment is the source code I modified. Did I do something wrong?

The patch is ready but we failed to commit to gerrit.

It seems that we all(three people) cannot login to gerrit. We can open a thread here or report a bug in the bug system. But can not login to gerrit?

I have found the related bug on login into gerrit here.
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=565060

And commented on the thread.

Hi,

first of all thanks for working on that issues. It is really great to get the OPC classic communication back working. I hope Eclipse Foundation Staff can soon sort out the problem with Gerrit. May I ask what error message you are getting and how you are pushing. Especially setting up the https is always very tricky. I myself made best experience with private/public keys.

Cheers,
Alois

We haven't made that far to upload public key to gerrit as we cannot login to gerrit webpage. You can see the error in the attchment. We think the login information should be correct as it works for forum and Bugzilla.

Ha, the bug is fixed and we can login now.

We fixed the OPC DA issue in 1.8.x branch. Gerrit only accepts commits for push=HEAD:refs/for/develop and I believe that the commits are pushed to "remotes/upstream/develop" ?

Can the bug fix be done in branch 1.8.x?

Regards
Tibalt

Great. Unfortunately we currently do not have the resources to maintain several versions. Therefore I would kindly ask if you could push it for the 1.13.x branch. This is our current maintenance branch.

OK.

We tried 1.13 IDE and found many bugs so we resort to 1.12. It is much more stable. Now we are going to focus on 1.12 to add our own FBs.

As OPC DA are tested under forte 1.8.4, we are thinking that have fortes with different versions (for example, 1.8.4 and 1.12) to run together to accomplish the functions. Let's see if that works.

If we have more resources, we will try to move to 1.13 and push the OPC DA fix.
