Child unit count - Children per command handler

[JohnnyNx]

Hello everyone,

How exactly do you get the child count (children per command handler)? What exactly is counted, do SubTree instances (and their units) belong to them, for example? If I look at the OnInitHirarchy method I would assume that every AddUnit () is viewed as a child. Do an AddCommand () or an AddAddOn () also count?

Every child that is added with the AddUnit method is counted (i.e. including subtree instances). All Addons added by AddAddon are counted separately in _stdExecHandlerData.AddonCount. All commands added by AddCommand are counted in _stdCmdHandlerData.CommandCount.

If you get an error "Maximum count of xxx per handler exceeded":

For every method there is an own parameter that can be changed in the library manager in the OpconBase / NxBase library.

After changing a library parameter you should do a clean project/solution and activate configuration!
Keep in mind that increasing these library parameters also increases the PLC cycle time / CPU load.

AddUnit              => OPCON_HANDLER_CHILDS_PER_HANDLER
AddAddon         => OPCON_HANDLER_ADDONS_PER_HANDLER
AddCommand => OPCON_HANDLER_CMDS_PER_CMDHANDLER
AddMode           => OPCON_HANDLER_MODES_PER_MODEHANDLER (this is also used for CmdHandler in Control plus V2)
AddSubchain   => OPCON_HANDLER_SUBCHAINS_PER_HANDLER
