One problem I ran into was that once a port was opened, if i unplugged the arduino and plugged it back in, it might create a new device rather than reconnecting. Then codesys was out of sync with the device port number... to avoid this, need to close the port..

Hi,

I'm following the example project from Edwin and I'm having an issue with the communication. I'm using a raspberry pi connected to a motor controller via USB Serial port ttyACM0. I'm trying to send a string of G-Code such as "G1 X10".

I added the following to my CODESYSControl.cfg
[sysCom]
Linux.Devicefile=/dev/ttyACM
portnum := COM.SysCom.SYS_COMPORT1;

I have verified the communication by sending the command in the terminal.

Do I need to set up a ModbusCom device?

I'm very new to Codesys, so any help is appreciated!

Thanks
Emily

Hi, Anyone knows how to read a Smartmeter. I connected to my RS232 port but don't recieve any data. So maybe i have to use USB. When i look here i have to change Codesyscontrol.cfg. I tried to copy it back to my pc. But then is get File is not valid. But i see it in codesys

Hi Edwin,

I am having the same problem as Nosi described in an earlier post. I constantly get zeros in the read buffer when attempting to read from the COM port after making the changes below to the /etc/CODESYSControl_User.cfg file

• [SysCom]
  Linux.Devicefile.1=/dev/ttyACM0 - this is communication port for the motorcontroller (Octopus Pro controller).

I am able to successfully write from Codesys (V3.5 SP17 Patch 3) to the motor controller, but reading from MC is proving to be a challenge. I can read data from the COM port in Linux when I apply the commands below but not in Codesys.

• stty -F /dev/ttyACM0 115200
• stty -F /dev/ttyACM0 raw
• cat /dev/ttyACM0

Please help.

Thanks.

Is it a RS485 adapter - if so, keep in mind that CODESYS do not control the send direction -
this must be supported by the hardware (your adapter).
If you are using RS232 - no clue whats going wrong.

I want to control a model railway via usb (NEM451).
So I wanted to use your program. I can connect the interface directly to 1 of the 4 usb-ports.
If I try to search the USB-Port I receive:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 28a0:1185 USB OPTICAL MOUSE
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 1c4f:0016 SiGma Micro USB Keyboard

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
but not a tty-port ?

check with 'dmesg'

I receive a long list, what shell I receive ?
With "lsusb" I receive: "Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 Serial (UART) IC"
I want to acces on this port. With lsusb -vs I receive :
"idVendor 0x0403 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd
idProduct 0x6001 FT232 Serial (UART) IC
bcdDevice 6.00
iManufacturer 1 FTDI
iProduct 2 FT232R USB UART
iSerial 3 AB0JV1PJ"
How can I reach a success ?

Hello,

I'm facing a particularly odd issue, which is when I try to write the data to the rs485 interface, the start and end voltages of the packet are not sent through the A wire. I recorded this issue while comparing the sent data using an oscilloscope. When using the USB-to-rs485 interfaces and realterm terminal program, all is well and the data is then read by the slave and returns the requested information. But when using the rs485 on the PiXtend V2-L, there is no response.

Does anybody have an idea of what could be the issue here? Is it the PiXtend, rpi, CAA SerialCom library (also tried with SysCom library and the result was the same) or perhaps something else? I've checked that the parameters match multiple times.

Regards,
Rok

@eschwellinger do you have any examples of using a USB barcode scanner? I have read through the forums here and I am unable to find how to get the barcode data to populate in a text field without having to first click into the text field to activate it. Is there a library that allows you to access the barcode data? I am really new to this in general any help is greatly appreciated, hopefully you have a pretty clear example
