I am CODESYS neophyte getting my wheels on.
My goal is to re-platform an existing PLC application written in 61131 ST
I've got the majority of the code/variables in a compilable form - excluding all the IO and comms nuances
I am not sure whether this the right forum
An important functionality which I implemented on the other platform was totally dynamic modbus devices...
Most configurations I have come across impose static MB configs in which
all configured devices MUST be present and functional...
I have monkeyed around with MB enough to know that herding a half dozen MB cats into a working config can be tricky. I just do them one at a time
and dynamically turn them on/off in whatever combination is convenient
with ID, IP, baud, parity etc being runtime tweakable.
I am totally curious whether this is possible with codesys, or whether
its device configuration corrals one into a static cage which requires
re-building the code to support flexible variations.
Best regards
