The attached document explains how to use the CODESYS V3 Ethernet driver with a WAGO PLC and a compatible HMI. [Using the CODESYS V3 Ethernet driver on a WAGO PLC.pdf](https://www.wago.community/uploads/short-url/q6pyfEvRqXrmyZrzD8Y1dwVu4pK.pdf) (1.4 MB) ---

This is very good guide. I was trying same this today, but did not get success. Will try your guide next week. I was missing to tick “Link Always” also have not downloaded the program to PLC after creating Symbol Configuration. I am trying with Webaccess/HMI runtime. ---

Thank you for the write-up! How would you go forward changing persistent variables with this method (as set points are usually stored in PersistentVars and this cannot be accessed in “Symbol configurator”)? ---

PersistentVars can be included in the export file. For example, create some persistent data: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/wago/original/2X/e/e686e0e822c878fc347a90f26a422a7e6dc9c9d3.png) Check the “Link always” option: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/wago/original/2X/8/8c449fcda6395b1610ac441fb4815debe56050d3.png) Check the variables in the Symbol Configuration: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/wago/original/2X/0/0356e8026ef09316aecc8bb1c35478fe33fd9325.png) Compile the project and then the persistent variables appear in the export file: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/wago/original/2X/0/0c2a3a40a37a48cb3a75c9578130b04e15feb2e5.png) ---

Do you have an example using a maple HMI? It seems to be the same process but the maple HMI reports that there is no device response from the Wago controller. I am using TCP/IP codesys V3 driver on port 11740. Update - Resolved: So a couple of gotcha’s. 1. The biggest being that you need to add **login credentials**. The default being Username “admin” and password “wago”. 2. The other gotcha (for me) was that I renamed my application on the plc. When I did that I had to rebuild and then import the new tag list (XML file) back into the HMI and retag everything because tags are referenced by format “Application.TagList.Tag” Mike Psaltis has a good video on how to setup Codesys V3 here: **[https://youtu.be/CGGW91FvGVQ](https://youtu.be/CGGW91FvGVQ "Share link")**
