Add a new executable to Wincc Project

Post by ange.ogawin »

Hi,
I have the following message that appears when i want to create an instance of a personal driver(not the ones
of Wincc).
I added the .exe in the bin directory of DemoApplication and wanted to load my new driver through the console.
Any idea of what could be the issue?

PS: I am able to add SampleDriver.
Thank you.

Hi,

I dont think this is related to your .exe.

You need to use the highlighted button to add it at the end of the list, as in a running project, manager position cannot change

Otherwise you can also stop whole project and it should be fine.

Thank you for your reply. However, the same message is displayed although the whole project is stopped, and
when i want to add at the end of the list.

Hum that's quite strange. Could you try following?
  • Stop project
  • Close all WInCC OA windows
  • Go to your project folder and open progs file
  • Add your manager to progs file using a text editor and save it
  • Open console, see if your manager is here
  • If yes try to start

Thank you much.It's working. When i tried to edit the prog file, it wasn't working.So i tried to change the name of the .exe file because
it was a bit long, in order to match the same format of other lines in the progs file. And it worked.
I am able to add the driver through the console now.

The pmon should be able to handle executables up to 19 characters long (including the 'WCCOA' prefix).
