I know that we can create a declaration and also a program in Text ( ST ). But can we create POU in other languages and add or modify logic in it ?

Hello Codesys Support,

I'm interested in the answer for this question as well. I'm trying to create a Program POU in FBD. I want to create instances of the FBs POUs in the PRG with the script.

I know it is possible as the following instruction works when I put language to None. I just seem not able to find the correct parameter to feed the language parameter. It should be a GUID value which I do not know how to generate.

mypou = app.create_pou(name="autoPRG", type=PouType.Program, language= '???', return_type=None, base_type=None, interfaces=None)

Any advice?

BR,
Halim

On our Web Help go to Scripting Engine -> IecLanguageObjectContainer and search in the page for "ScriptImplementationLanguage". The properties of that class return the necessary GUID for the different languages but as far as I know we only support to edit ST.

Thanks Martin for the reply. I tried it before posting the question but, it looks indeed that the fbd language is not supported. I will have to do it in ST then.

Maybe another off-topic question regarding the syntax of python. The chm file in the codesys online help folder is for c#. Is there a similar chm for python syntax? or an online place for findin the correct syntax for python scripts?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

The C# syntax in the CHM file for the Scripting API is historical because it was the easiest way to get some documentation. You get used to it but we have a new documentation which is based on a manually created python stub.

You find it on our web help under the topic Scripting Engine

Thanks again Martin
