There will be a value in the next release which will allow to configure the "no responding" time which will set the interface to disconnected. 

OK but usually PLC Inputs should only be written by Unity and not read.

You could manually create your table using excel (in the form TIA Portal is creating the tables) or you could manually create the IOs in Unity. Please delete the spaces in the names so it should for example be "I5.0" and not "I    5.0"). Maybe this is also an issue.

It should work with some minor changes which you would need to do on your own. Officially, we only support latest LTS releases.

Hi, did you checked the Beta. Is everything working fine for you?

You are welcome, please give us a good rating in the Unity asset store if you are happy with our solution - thanks!

Thanks a lot for the positive feedback. We are not planning to do that. The Starter version is meant for for free usage. In very rare cases we are developing things together with universities, companies or students in bachelor thesis and in this case we are suppling for free licenses based on special test contracts.

Best regards

Hi,

best would be to do it with Game4Automation Professional and the included OPCUA interface.

With the OPCUA interface, you can get the data from the PLC and with the standard Unity UI and AR functions, you could display it on your android phone. Like in this example:

Hi Leve,

I assume that you are having PLCInputs and PLCOutputs in your project after importing from TwinCAT:

Now you can write to the PLCInput with 

PLCInput.Value = YourValue;

You should write your own behavior scripts and attach this to the Gameobject with the rigid-body where you want to measure the velocity.

Here is a simple example of a behavior script (it is the Sensor_standard script from the Game4Auomation Framework).

This script is sending a "High" to the PLC when the sensor is occupied.

namespace game4automation
{
    [RequireComponent(typeof(Sensor))]
    //! The Sensor_Standard component is providing the Sensor behavior and connection to the PLC inputs and outputs.
    public class Sensor_Standard : BehaviorInterface
    {
       
        [Header("Settings")] public bool NormallyClosed = false;  //!< Defines if sensor signal is *true* if occupied (*NormallyClosed=false*) of if signal is *false* if occupied (*NormallyClosed=true*)
        [Header("Interface Connection")] public PLCInputBool Occupied; //! Boolean PLC input for the Sensor signal.

        private Sensor Sensor;
        private bool _isOccupiedNotNull;

        // Use this for initialization
        void Start()
        {
            _isOccupiedNotNull = Occupied != null;
            Sensor = GetComponent<Sensor>();
        }

        // Update is called once per frame
        void Update()
        {
            bool occupied = false;
        
            // Set Behavior Outputs
            if (NormallyClosed)
            {
                occupied = !Sensor.Occupied;
            }
            else
            {
                occupied = Sensor.Occupied;
            }

            // Set external PLC Outputs
            if (_isOccupiedNotNull)
                Occupied.Value = occupied;

        }
    }
}    

For anyone experiencing similar issues.

Problem was that the compile settings were not set correctly:

, that collision layers were not set correctly:

https://game4automation.com/documentation/current/physics.html

and that Prostprocessing was not included in the Assembly Definitions:

Hi,

we don't know this error. Could you upload your project? I will send you via email a link for uploading.
