Hello If you uncheck 'Auto restart Communication', it will try once and never again. You can manually reset the slave if needed : Slave.xReset (or something similar) Or I have a ModbusRTU library if you want to try it.

Hi, Is it possible to know of an output of a function block is used? I've found there is a way to find unused inputs of a fb, through the attribute: is_connected. But I'm wondering if the same can be done for an output. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I've read that you can perform Atomic instructions like AtomicReadLInt on variables. However, I'd like to know if this uses stdatomic internally. My main question is : Is it possible to share atomic types in shared memory with CodeSys. If so, what types should they be declared as? If not, are the atomic functions lock-free or does it use a mutex?

If I do online monitoring of code in f.i. a function block, I cannot see if the function block is called or not. In software from other vendors you normally have an indication if the online code you are looking on is scanned at that moment or not. Is there a way in Codesys to determine in the online view if (parts) of the code are scanned or not? Thanks

For general usage, these links might help you out. If you are looking at using I2C interfaces, examples from the Raspberry Pi will probably be useful, even if your board isn't a Raspberry Pi. https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Examples/_ex_rts_serial_com.html https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Examples/_ex_raspberry.html If you're developing your own drivers, I can't help you there, although the link you provided will help. If you drill in deeper, the I2C page for example shows function block and method usage, etc. Good luck!

Hallo zusammen. Ich habe schon länger mit dem Problem zu kämpfen, dass ich einen Trend (Visuelement) nicht resetten (neustarten) kann. Ich habe es jetzt mit dem Beispiel hinbekommen, die Trace-Aufzeichnung über die CmpTraceMgr Bibliothek zu steuern. Aber wie bekomme ich diese Trace-Aufzeichnung in ein Visuelement? Der Code sieht wie folgt aus: // Configure trace IF xInit THEN // Create a trace packet PacketConfig.pszName := ADR('IECTraceConfiguration.Trace1'); // Name of trace PacketConfig.pszApplicationName := ADR('IECTraceConfiguration'); // Name of the application PacketConfig.pszIecTaskName := ADR('Task'); // Name of the task PacketConfig.pszComment := ADR('Demo packet'); PacketConfig.ulEveryNCycles := 1; PacketConfig.ulBufferEntries := 1000; PacketConfig.ulFlags := TRACE_PACKET_FLAGS.TRACE_PACKET_FLAGS_TIMESTAMP_MS AND TRACE_PACKET_FLAGS.TRACE_PACKET_FLAGS_AUTOSTART; IF (NOT fbTraceManager.CreatePacket(PacketConfig := PacketConfig, hPacket=>hPacket1)) THEN xError := TRUE; END_IF // Create a trace record RecordConfig.pszVariable := ADR('iSignal'); // This is the name of variable to record RecordConfig.tcClass := INT_TO_UDINT(TypeClass.TYPE_INT); // Type of the recording variable RecordConfig.ulSize := SIZEOF(iSignal); // Size of the recording variable pApp := AppFindApplicationByName('IECTraceConfiguration', 0); AppGetAreaOffsetByAddress(pApp, ADR(iSignal), ADR(RecordConfig.tvaAddress.taAddress.Area.usArea), ADR(RecordConfig.tvaAddress.taAddress.Area.ulOffset)); // Get and set area offsets RecordConfig.tvaAddress.ulAddressFlags := TRACE_VAR_ADDRESS_FLAGS_IEC OR TRACE_VAR_ADDRESS_FLAGS_AREA_OFFSET; RecordConfig.ulGraphColor := 16#FF00FF00; // green RecordConfig.ulGraphType := 1; // Line with points IF (NOT fbTraceManager.AddRecord(RecordConfig := RecordConfig, hPacket := hPacket1, hRecord => hRecord1)) THEN xError := TRUE; END_IF xInit := FALSE; END_IF // Starts the recording IF xStart THEN IF (NOT fbTraceManager.StartPacket(hPacket := hPacket1)) THEN xError := TRUE; END_IF xStart := FALSE; END_IF // Stop the recording IF xStop THEN IF (NOT fbTraceManager.StopPacket(hPacket := hPacket1)) THEN xError := TRUE; END_IF xStop := FALSE; END_IF // Reset the recording IF xReset THEN IF (NOT fbTraceManager.ResetPacket(hPacket := hPacket1)) THEN xError := TRUE; END_IF xReset := FALSE; END_IF

Hello everyone. I've been struggling with the problem for a long time that I can't reset (restart) a trend (visual element). With the example I have now managed to control the trace recording via the CmpTraceMgr library. But how do I get this trace recording into a visual element? The code looks like this: // Configure trace IF xInit THEN // Create a trace packet PacketConfig.pszName := ADR('IECTraceConfiguration.Trace1'); // Name of trace PacketConfig.pszApplicationName := ADR('IECTraceConfiguration'); // Name of the application PacketConfig.pszIecTaskName := ADR('Task'); // Name of the task PacketConfig.pszComment := ADR('Demo packet'); PacketConfig.ulEveryNCycles := 1; PacketConfig.ulBufferEntries := 1000; PacketConfig.ulFlags := TRACE_PACKET_FLAGS.TRACE_PACKET_FLAGS_TIMESTAMP_MS AND TRACE_PACKET_FLAGS.TRACE_PACKET_FLAGS_AUTOSTART; IF (NOT fbTraceManager.CreatePacket(PacketConfig := PacketConfig, hPacket=>hPacket1)) THEN xError := TRUE; END_IF // Create a trace record RecordConfig.pszVariable := ADR('iSignal'); // This is the name of variable to record RecordConfig.tcClass := INT_TO_UDINT(TypeClass.TYPE_INT); // Type of the recording variable RecordConfig.ulSize := SIZEOF(iSignal); // Size of the recording variable pApp := AppFindApplicationByName('IECTraceConfiguration', 0); AppGetAreaOffsetByAddress(pApp, ADR(iSignal), ADR(RecordConfig.tvaAddress.taAddress.Area.usArea), ADR(RecordConfig.tvaAddress.taAddress.Area.ulOffset)); // Get and set area offsets RecordConfig.tvaAddress.ulAddressFlags := TRACE_VAR_ADDRESS_FLAGS_IEC OR TRACE_VAR_ADDRESS_FLAGS_AREA_OFFSET; RecordConfig.ulGraphColor := 16#FF00FF00; // green RecordConfig.ulGraphType := 1; // Line with points IF (NOT fbTraceManager.AddRecord(RecordConfig := RecordConfig, hPacket := hPacket1, hRecord => hRecord1)) THEN xError := TRUE; END_IF xInit := FALSE; END_IF // Starts the recording IF xStart THEN IF (NOT fbTraceManager.StartPacket(hPacket := hPacket1)) THEN xError := TRUE; END_IF xStart := FALSE; END_IF // Stop the recording IF xStop THEN IF (NOT fbTraceManager.StopPacket(hPacket := hPacket1)) THEN xError := TRUE; END_IF xStop := FALSE; END_IF // Reset the recording IF xReset THEN IF (NOT fbTraceManager.ResetPacket(hPacket := hPacket1)) THEN xError := TRUE; END_IF xReset := FALSE; END_IF

Hi, I've got a problem using the function block "Write alias address" (ETCStack library 4.9.0.0). this is the code: EtherCAT_1(); IF EtherCAT_1.ConfigRead AND enable THEN CASE seq OF 0: exec := FALSE; T.IN := TRUE; T.PT := T#10S; T(); IF T.Q THEN seq := 1; T.IN := FALSE; END_IF ; 1: T.IN := FALSE; T(); //THIS ONE WORK CORRECTLY! WrAliasAdd.xAbort := FALSE; WrAliasAdd.usiCom := DWORD_TO_USINT(EtherCAT_1.InstanceNumber); WrAliasAdd.wSlaveAddress := 1002; WrAliasAdd.xAutoIncAdr := FALSE; WrAliasAdd.uiAliasAddress := 19; WrAliasAdd.udiTimeOut := 3000; IF start THEN exec := TRUE; ELSE IF NOT error THEN start := TRUE; END_IF END_IF IF WrAliasAdd.xDone THEN start := FALSE; done := TRUE; error := FALSE; exec := FALSE; seq := 5; END_IF IF WrAliasAdd.xError THEN start := FALSE; done := FALSE; error := TRUE; exec := FALSE; END_IF ; 5: exec := FALSE; T.IN := TRUE; T.PT := T#1S; T(); IF T.Q THEN seq := 10; END_IF ; 10: T.IN := FALSE; T(); //THIS ONE GIVES ME AN ERROR! WrAliasAdd.xAbort := FALSE; WrAliasAdd.usiCom := DWORD_TO_USINT(EtherCAT_1.InstanceNumber); WrAliasAdd.wSlaveAddress := 1006; WrAliasAdd.xAutoIncAdr := FALSE; WrAliasAdd.uiAliasAddress := 25; WrAliasAdd.udiTimeOut := 1000; IF start THEN exec := TRUE; ELSE IF NOT error THEN start := TRUE; END_IF END_IF IF WrAliasAdd.xDone THEN start := FALSE; done := TRUE; error := FALSE; exec := FALSE; seq := 99; END_IF IF WrAliasAdd.xError THEN start := FALSE; done := FALSE; error := TRUE; exec := FALSE; END_IF ; ELSE ; END_CASE WrAliasAdd(xExecute := exec); END_IF The first one slave ethercat works correctly, but the other one gives me an error. Attached the ethercat configuration of the devices. All the devices are set "Optional". So my idea is to enable only the first one (1002) and the fifth one (1006).

To search for an exact phrase, put it in quotes. Example: "getting started docs"
To exclude a word or phrase, put a dash in front of it. Example: docs -help
To search on specific fields, use these field names instead of a general text search. You can group with AND or OR.
