I am currently using a Flexy 205 to collect data from PLCs via Modbus and OPC UA. I have a BASIC script that builds a JSON payload and sends it to my IoT platform using the REQUESTHTTPX command.

The Challenge:
Everything works well when the internet is connected. However, when the internet goes down, the REQUESTHTTPX command fails and the data is lost. I need a "Store and Forward" solution that is simple to manage.

My Required Logic:
  • I want to avoid complex system tools and handle this directly in my script using basic file logic:
  • Detection: If REQUESTHTTPX fails due to a network error, the script should identify that the internet is down.
  • Local Storage: Instead of losing the data, the script should append the JSON string to a simple text file on the Ewon (e.g., /usr/buffer.txt).
  • Restoration: Once the internet is back, the script should read that text file line-by-line and send the stored payloads to the server.

I want to keep this as manual and clear as possible so I can easily maintain the code. Any help or logic flows would be greatly appreciated!]]>

in our factory we use Ewon Flexy's 205 in combination with ViewOn for dashboarding.

The dashboard is shown on several TV's with Amazon firestick.

The firesticks need to connect to the Ewon via WAN side connection to show the ViewOn page.
With firmware 15 the webserver is now closed on the WAN side and we have no dashboard.

Is there a way to enable this again?
otherwise we need to downgrade the Ewons to firmware 14.

Kind regards,

Daan]]>

I am seeking guidance on a data precision issue I’m encountering with an Ewon Flexy 205.

The Setup:

Hardware: Flexy 205

Protocol: Reading tags via OPCUA.

The Observation: In the Flexy "Values" tab (UI), the tag Blower_A2_Spd_Ctrl_Mode correctly displays as 0.0054.

The Problem:
When I attempt to use this value in a BASIC script (either to print to the console or build an HTTP JSON payload), the value is being rounded aggressively.

PRINT Blower_A2_Spd_Ctrl_Mode@ // Output in console: 0.1


Any guidance from the experts here would be greatly appreciated!]]>

I'm currently using FileZilla to extract (read) information from the Flexy's external SD card, but my client wants me to block FileZilla from writing to that card. I'd like to know how to do this.

Thanks in advance.

I'm testing the option for direct connectivity between two sites using two Flexy routers.
I have the static WAN address mapped to external, static IP, I'd like to use it for the server. However, when I try to configure the server side(using AUG015, Linking 2 Sites Together Using VPN) I noticed weird behaviour.
WAN connection is configured successfully, but when I go to the VPN config, I'm setting the parameters:
Listen for incoming VPN from client
VPN Incoming, set passphrase, VPN IP automatic
I hit the Update, and it looks that all is set. However, after a short while it looks like it goes back to the outgoing connection mode - even in comcfg file VPNCnxType changes from 1 (incoming connection) to 2 (outgoing connection).
What could be wrong? Flexy is recently updated to v15.0s2.]]>

- I had an SD card that worked on an Ewon in user expansion mode before I performed a type 2 reset on the Ewon. I can't get the SD card working again (EaseUS + ext3 + clusters = 4kb).

- I disconnect the power before removing/inserting the SD card.
- I tested with two other new SD cards... No luck.
- I have no information in my event log.

- Are there any SYS or COM parameters I should check that could be blocking the SD card from working?]]>
