    Shared Memory! Is very simple use it!!!
    In Qt Window you can use QSharedMemeory, running application as administrator and connecting CODESYS with key.
    In Qt Linux you must use system functions, Qt manage shared in a non compatible way to CODESYS, but is very easy.

    Here you have an example of our shared memory manager class. Working in Windows and Linux.
    Remember //Global/ in shm keys on windows systems.

    #ifndef ADVSAHREDMEMORYMANAGER_H
    #define ADVSAHREDMEMORYMANAGER_H
    
    #include "advabstractmemorymanager.h"

        }
    };
    
    #endif // ADVSAHREDMEMORYMANAGER_H
    

    And here a sample of CODESYS side code:

    IF NOT shmOpened THEN
        IF shmHandler <> 0 THEN
            SysSharedMemoryClose(shmHandler);
        END_IF
        shmSize := SIZEOF(SharedArea);
        shmHandler := SysSharedMemoryOpen2(shmKey, 0, ADR(shmSize), ADR(shmOpenResult));
        IF shmOpenResult = 0 AND shmHandler > 0 THEN
            areaExchange := SysSharedMemoryGetPointer(shmHandler, ADR(shmPointerResult));
            ShmGlv.fieldArea REF= areaExchange^;
            IF shmPointerResult = 0 THEN
                shmOpened := TRUE;
            END_IF
        END_IF
    ELSE
        IF areaExchange^.watchDogPC = areaExchange^.watchDogPLC THEN
            areaExchange^.watchDogPLC := areaExchange^.watchDogPLC + 1;
            shmCounterWatchdog := 0;
            IF areaExchange^.watchDogPC > 0 THEN
                IF NOT shmConnected THEN
                    shmConnected := TRUE;
                END_IF;
            END_IF
        ELSE
            shmCounterWatchdog := shmCounterWatchdog + 1;
            IF shmCounterWatchdog >= MAX_WATCHDOG_COUNTER THEN
                IF shmConnected THEN
                    shmConnected := FALSE;
                END_IF
            END_IF
        END_IF;
    END_IF
