Datatypes

[sembaye]

Hi,
I want to extend the functionality to read/write the remaining basic Datatypes (S5TIME,TIME,CHAR,DATE,TOD). In which places of the src-code do i have to do changes?
Need some hints!!

Thanks

I would like this.
Look from line 1529 to the end of the file. (someone should modularize this package)

Please complete all typs and aliases.
I miss:

• BOOL (implemented as X)
• LWORD
• SINT
• USINT (implemented as BYTE)
• UINT
• UDINT
• LINT
• ULINT
• LREAL
• S5TIME
• TIME (implemented as DINT)
• LTIME
• DATE
• TOD
• LTOD
• DT
• LDT
• DTL
• WCHAR
• WSTRING

@Lichtjaeger I agree with you about modularizing this package. I'm also thinking about making this package behave more like a library, by better controlling logging and proposing some API changes. I'll try to make a pull request on the next few days :)

I wish I had the time to modularize this as this was my first NPM package and I have learned a lot since. I will post some info on adding datatypes in the coming days (I am travelling this week) but I welcome a major pull request to clean some of this up.

[Lichtjaeger]

In my opinion this is an important issue. I don't like that it's closed.

We have been using the Code, everything is working well except for that we are not able to access I/O directly by using "Q0.0" or "i0.0". Kindly advice.

[plcpeople]

Can you please post a log of the error that you get? And what model of PLC are you using? Q0.0 and I0.0 should "just work",

I tested inputs and outputs (both reading and writing, writing only to inputs that were not defined in hardware configuration) and it worked fine on a 315-2 PN/DP. Version 0.1.10 fixed some boolean write issues - that may have been an issue. Please test again.

lreal can just use readDoubleBE while for Lint can ether modify buffer function in Nodejs or just make a new function in nodes7.
