[Answered] Tag not read from driver in runtime (demonstration mode)

#1

Hi all,

I’m following the video tutorials on how to link a breaker to a IEC68150 relay.
The driver is functioning well:

I’m simultaneously sniffing my network traffic (the IEC61850 relay is on a separate VM) and I see MMS communication going on.

The IL1/IL2/IL3 measurements are linked to the tag in the driver:

The ActiveSource of IL1/2/3 is set to ‘1 - stScada’

However, when I run the application none of the measurements are shown, and no MMS communication is going on in the network.

Please note that I’m using demo mode, as I am evaluating whether Elipse Power is suitable for our purposes.

Thank you in advance for your help

@steve,

this is because the IEC driver only works in demo mode in Studio. To use it in Runtime, you need a license.

If you wanna see how the objects work (without a driver), use the Operator mode in the ActiveSource property.

Thank you @Fernando, that explains a lot (some sort of runtime error message would help a lot though ;)). Unfortunately it’s all about the network communication for me, so the Operator mode doesn’t cut it.
