Hello, I have written a function block that uses a generic constant for the upper bound of an array. I wanted to have this array in the persistent memory area, thus I constructed my FB as follows: FUNCTION_BLOCK FbWithGenericArrayLength VAR_GENERIC CONSTANT uiArrayLength : UINT := 10; END_VAR VAR PERSISTENT arr : ARRAY[1..uiArrayLength] OF INT; END_VAR In my PLC_PRG I declare an instance of said FB PROGRAM PLC_PRG VAR myFb : FbWithGenericArrayLength<10>; END_VAR This compiles just fine.

Ladder version is 1.1.0.0
Hello. I have a task to synchronize the movement of two axes and maintain the distance between them. First axe makes equal steps by trigger using MC_MoveRelative function. The second one is standstill and after another signal should catch up the first one from its position to a specified distance and keep it. I've tried to use MC_Phasing and mostly it works. Second axe catches up the first and starts make step with it. But in one moment this axe can crash into the first and there is no clear connection...
One thing Iβve been seeing recently is that more industrial systems are starting to expose realtime SCADA data through APIs instead of keeping everything isolated inside the local monitoring software. This makes integration much easier for cloud platforms, mobile dashboards, AI analytics, and enterprise applications that need realtime industrial data. Instead of exporting reports manually or building complicated middleware, APIs allow external systems to access SCADA data directly in realtime. I...

Modern SCADA development is no longer limited to monitoring dashboards and PLC communication. Todayβs industrial systems often require: Cloud architecture Web & mobile SCADA API integration IIoT communication Alarm management Scalable deployment workflows One challenge in many projects is that deployment knowledge is usually scattered across multiple documents, configuration guides, and troubleshooting references. As systems become more connected, engineers need a more structured learning approach...
I am attempting to install CODESYS 3.5.22.20 and the installer gets stuck at "Install Package CODESYS Compatibility Package 3.5.17.20" every single time. I've tried reinstalling the software multiple times and the same issue persists. I've tried running the installer as an administrator and even turned off my virus protection and the same issue persists. I've attached a photo for reference. Has anyone run into this issue before or have any idea what I can do to complete the install?

Hallo mattplc, man kann das Leid mitfΓΌhlen. OPC UA verspricht immer so viel. Aber wenn es um die praktische Umsetzung geht, und man damit die Aufgabe "schicke Daten von A nach B" lΓΆsen mΓΆchte, trifft man unvermutet auf den Endgegner. Der Mega-BΓΆsewicht der KomplexitΓ€t und Kompliziertheit. Was Dein Problem angeht, vermute ich mal das es mit dem Thema "Informationsmodell" zusammenhΓ€ngt. Viel Erfolg auf Deiner Reise βββ
Dears. Until now, I have been using CNC libraries with Codesys 3.5SP11. I was using SMC_Polynomial_AbsMaxLocs function, from CNC library, to calculate the axis jerks, interpolating splines, to limit it. Now I have passed to SP20, and the functions which calculates the zeros and the maximum-minimum and zeros of polynomials has been disapeared. Questions: -Exist any FB wich can limit the jerk of individual axis in CNC? -Exist any other functions which can calculate max-min and zeros of polynomials?...
Still looking for a solution.

Automation Builder requires a full PLC download to apply IP changes, which we...
Hello, Iβm working on implementing Modbus RTU communication with a Carel controller (CPCO). I want to use the front RS485 interface through the DB9 connector. The issue is that I canβt get the communication working correctly. Below are the steps Iβve done so far: Connected pins 3 and 8 from the DB9 connector to the +/- RX/TX terminals on the Carel side. In the PLC shell, I set serialmode to RS485. In WBM under Administration > Serial Interface > Assign owner of serial interface, I set the port to...

Which CODESYS version and which runtime version do you use?
which ladder plugin version? CODESYS version is not enough information since modularisation.
Hello Hannibal, I am using real vars and it works, however, if I update those vars in real time it doesnt quite change it on y axis, do you think it is because it is not an integer?
Can a Codesys member explain this ?
We have checked open ports. SSH (22) and HTTP (80) are not reachable. The only open ports are: 502 (Modbus TCP β used for lighting control) 1200 (CODESYS runtime) 1201 (CODESYS runtime) We can connect via Automation Builder using the current IP, but we don't have the original project source β only an empty project. This is why we are afraid of doing a full download, as it would overwrite the running application. Is there any way to change the IP through the CODESYS runtime protocol on ports 1200/1201...
Hi everyone, I am working with CODESYS 3.5.21 and using the Date/Time Picker inside a dialog (popup visualization). I noticed a behavior that seems problematic: The Date/Time Picker does NOT update the bound variable immediately. It only updates when the control loses focus/select. This causes an issue in my dialog: User selects a new date/time Immediately presses OK (which closes the dialog) The new value is NOT saved The variable still contains the old value So it seems the Date/Time Picker still...

I want to programmatically write the alias address to a new EtherCAT slave when I plug it into my IPC EtherCAT network. I am looking at the ReadWriteEEprom FB and see that one of the elements is "pbyData". which is the pointer to byte that is usually set to 2048 bytes. Since I am setting the alias address to the EEprom only (EEprom address 16#0012), I would assume that what I am writing is 2 bytes only. Does the pbyData have to be specified as ADR(myArray) where "myArray" is the 2 bytes of the alias...
Hi You can add a channel to the standard Modbus TCP library with FC06. From the device tree, add Ethernet device, ModbusTCP master then finally a ModbusTCP slave (your power meter). You can add read/write channels (for any FC) in here. As you add these devices, the necessary libraries will be inserted for you. Alternatively, I have a ModbusTCP client/server library if your RT doesn't have Modbus (I think they all do these days?)

Hi -- curious to know the same thing! Lots of "The objects are equal" randomly popping up... my solution (for now) is simply to commit the actual changes and then execute the rollback (git clean + checkout) on all that are giving me the issue in question. Does anyone know if this repairable?
Hey Guys, I am trying to create a ModbusTCP_FunctionCode06 which i will use as a single write register for programming a test code for Power Meter(PQM_1000) I have tried to reserach how to add it it from the libraray manager and have largely been unsuccessful. Does anyone know where I should Look? And by the way, I am i wam using Codesys V3.5 Vs 21 Patch 4 I look forward to something positive. Best, Kmax365.

Thanks for your reply @eschwellinger. Update : the is problem is resolved. It was done by renaming the User database file (/var/opt/codesys/.UserDatabase.csv) as deleting it was risky. After restart the IDE asked me to create new user. On doing that the problem got resolved. Reference for members facing similar problem/s : sudo systemctl stop codesyscontrol sudo mv /var/opt/codesys/.UserDatabase.csv_ /var/opt/codesys/.UserDatabase.csv_.old sudo systemctl start codesyscontrol

Because codesys dont has a draw command like Circle in Qbasic ( 20 years ago ) i want to draw 1000 nails, and then move them in the screen when they needed. I dont know if codesys can handle this. But is ther an easy way to draw 1000 nails with every single one has a pointer for movement, color and invisable. Of is there a linux command to draw a circle so i can do it with a process command
What version. 20.5 ? ive got also problems wiyth that version. Online change, it hangs itself after one hour. Then one project can problems. Ive change display with 21.0 . At home i turned on the 20.5 display. After 1 hour i goes to stop.
I would suggest to send the projectarchive to the CODESYS support.
Sigh....
... and SP21 P6 also. Kind of bummer, migrating from TIA Portal to Codesys for PLC educational courses. These kind of bugs, and other deficiencies, really makes me regret my choice.

Hi darwin03, when all joints are 0Β°, then the 6-axis robot is in a so called singularity. This means that it is in a special position where it cannot move freely in all directions but is restricted by its own construction. For a simple example, imagine a scara robot where the arm is fully stretched. In this position it cannot move freely. You can find a lot of information about robot configurations in the www. As far as CODESYS SoftMotion Robotics is concerned, this page holds the most important...
Hi, In my CODESYS project (ABC.project), Iβm using the MQTT library. Iβve also created a separate library (DEF.library) which itself references the MQTT library. In ABC.project, Iβve customized some MQTT parametersβfor example, setting g_udiMaxPublishersAndSubscribers to 100 instead of the default value of 20. However, when I import DEF.library into ABC.project, the MQTT parameters get reset to their default values. I assume this happens because DEF.library still uses the default MQTT configuration,...
