Post by teichhei on The selected container ... does not fit your ticket ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Update, installed 3.5.19.70 with the same result. The error message is as useful as a chocolate fire guard. The container SN is in the 130-xxx range which should work. The Version, Chip, Rev number don't mean anything to me. There is no SD Card installed. I've also reinstalled a fresh Wago FW22 image, Deployed PFC200 SL and Edge for Linux, still the same result.

Post by ara32 on CODESYS 4 Linux: ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello! I managed to correctly launch CODESYS Developer Studio 3.5.17, almost all functionality works. The only issue remaining is that when connecting to a device and obtaining its public key, the NCryptEncrypt function is called, which is not fully implemented in the DLL source code, resulting in the connection not being established. Currently, the code of this function in the Wine repository looks like this: SECURITY_STATUS WINAPI NCryptEncrypt(NCRYPT_KEY_HANDLE key, BYTE *input, DWORD insize, void *padding, BYTE *output, DWORD outsize, DWORD *result, DWORD flags) { struct object *key_object = (struct object *)key; TRACE("(%#Ix, %p, %lu, %p, %p, %lu, %p, %#lx)\n", key, input, insize, padding, output, outsize, result, flags); if (flags & ~(NCRYPT_NO_PADDING_FLAG | NCRYPT_PAD_OAEP_FLAG | NCRYPT_PAD_PKCS1_FLAG | NCRYPT_SILENT_FLAG)) { FIXME("Flags %lx not supported\n", flags); return NTE_BAD_FLAGS; } if (flags & NCRYPT_NO_PADDING_FLAG || flags & NCRYPT_PAD_OAEP_FLAG) { FIXME("No padding and oaep padding not supported\n"); return NTE_NOT_SUPPORTED; } if (key_object->type != KEY) return NTE_INVALID_HANDLE; return map_ntstatus(BCryptEncrypt(key_object->key.bcrypt_key, input, insize, padding, NULL, 0, output, outsize, result, flags)); } The program crashes due to the NCRYPT_PAD_OAEP_FLAG flag. I'm not proficient in C++, but I attempted to add handling myself, and here's the result: SECURITY_STATUS WINAPI NCryptEncrypt(NCRYPT_KEY_HANDLE key, BYTE *input, DWORD insize, void *padding, BYTE *output, DWORD outsize, DWORD *result, DWORD flags) { struct object *key_object = (struct object *)key; TRACE("(%#Ix, %p, %lu, %p, %p, %lu, %p, %#lx)\n", key, input, insize, padding, output, outsize, result, flags); if (flags & ~(NCRYPT_NO_PADDING_FLAG | NCRYPT_PAD_OAEP_FLAG | NCRYPT_PAD_PKCS1_FLAG | NCRYPT_SILENT_FLAG)) { FIXME("Flags %lx not supported\n", flags); return NTE_BAD_FLAGS; } if (flags & NCRYPT_NO_PADDING_FLAG) { FIXME("No padding not supported\n"); return NTE_NOT_SUPPORTED; } BCRYPT_OAEP_PADDING_INFO oaepInfo = { 0 }; oaepInfo.pszAlgId = BCRYPT_SHA1_ALGORITHM; NTSTATUS status = BCryptEncrypt(key_object->key.bcrypt_key, input, insize, &oaepInfo, NULL, 0, output, outsize, result, flags); if (key_object->type != KEY) return NTE_INVALID_HANDLE; return map_ntstatus(BCryptEncrypt(key_object->key.bcrypt_key, input, insize, padding, NULL, 0, output, outsize, result, flags)); } Now, when calling the connection, it crashes with the error "bcrypt:BCryptEncrypt flags 0x4 not implemented." Can anyone help with enhancing this functionality or at least point me in the right direction?

Post by drml on Array to String ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
If a size is not specified, CODESYS allocates 80 characters by default for a string. After 7 seconds, does your Json_string contain all of your 20000 key/values? Or is the result truncated to 80 characters?

Hi, a few questions that you can check regarding your kinematics: * Does your kinematics FB implement the interface ISMKinematicWithInfo2? * Does AxesToCartesian(a, out f) -> CartesianToAxes(f, out aCompare) result in a=aCompare for random positions a? * Do you return a valid rotation matrix f.mR (SMC_Matrix3) in AxesToCartesian()?

Post by dtamm on How to read string from CharBufferPtr? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Solved it! The simple answer was to declare a variable as POINTER TO STRING and assign the GetMessage result to that variable. Then, the ^ operator can be used to extract the message as string.

Post by fpawlak on How to register own component - CMAddComponent() or CMAddComponent2() ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi All, I wonder which way is correct or better? I would like to register my own component in order to use it in CMPLog. I can use CMAddComponent() or CMAddComponent2() to do it. The main difference is whether I provide udiCmpId myself or it will be generated by runtime. But I don't know which way is correct. Please look at those two examples below. I don't know if CMAddComponent2() is newer and then should be used? CMAddComponent() + providing my own udiCmpId //16#FFFF0000 for unknown myVendorId := 16#FFFF0000; myLibId := 1; myComponentId := myVendorId OR CMPID_IecCode OR myLibId; componentHandle := CMAddComponent(pszComponent:= 'myComponent', udiCmpId:= myComponentId, udiVersion:= 1, pResult:= ADR(result)); IF componentHandle <> RTS_INVALID_HANDLE AND result = CmpErrors.Errors.ERR_OK THEN LogAdd2( hLogger:= STD_LOGGER, udiCmpID:= myComponentId, udiClassID:= CmpLog.LogClass.LOG_ERROR, udiErrorID:= 0, udiInfoID:= 0, pszInfo:= 'myComponent regidtered succsefull.' ); ELSE LogAdd2( hLogger:= STD_LOGGER, udiCmpID:= CMPID_CmpMgr, udiClassID:= CmpLog.LogClass.LOG_ERROR, udiErrorID:= 0, udiInfoID:= 0, pszInfo:= 'Error while regidtering myComponent.'); END_IF CMAddComponent2() + udiCmpId generated by runtime componentHandle := CMAddComponent2(pszComponent:= 'myComponent2', udiVersion:= 1, udiCmpId:= ADR(myComponentId), pResult:= ADR(result)); IF componentHandle <> RTS_INVALID_HANDLE AND result = CmpErrors.Errors.ERR_OK THEN LogAdd2( hLogger:= STD_LOGGER, udiCmpID:= myComponentId, udiClassID:= CmpLog.LogClass.LOG_ERROR, udiErrorID:= 0, udiInfoID:= 0, pszInfo:= 'myComponent2 regidtered succsefull.' ); ELSE LogAdd2( hLogger:= STD_LOGGER, udiCmpID:= CMPID_CmpMgr, udiClassID:= CmpLog.LogClass.LOG_ERROR, udiErrorID:= 0, udiInfoID:= 0, pszInfo:= 'Error while regidtering myComponent2.'); END_IF

Post by simotion on Pointer to Softmotion axis ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
In my projet I use Softmotion. There are several Softmotion axis (type SM_Drive_Virtual). In the Global Variable List I have an array of pointers to the adress of the Axis. Axis : ARRAY[1..iMaxCntAxes] OF POINTER TO AXIS_REF_SM3 := ADR(AX01_Axis), // [1 ADR(AX02_Axis), // [2] This works, but when compiling I get the message : . [WARNING] E3D: GVL Device: PLC Logic: Application: C0564: A reference to uninitialized variable AX01_Axis is used for initialization of Axis. Accessing the uninitialized variable may result in unexpected behavior. [WARNING] E3D: GVL Device: PLC Logic: Application: C0564: A reference to uninitialized variable AX02_Axis is used for initialization of Axis. Accessing the uninitialized variable may result in unexpected behavior. Is there a way when initializing to force the hardware (softmotion axis) to first initialize and then the Global Variable List?

Post by climblinne on OPC UA Method - How to wait for result? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I am already able to run an OPC UA method in Codesys. Now my question, how can I interact with other tasks (e.g. read an SDO from EtherCAT and return it by the function)? The OPC UA method seems to be called only once (I tried to return BOOL or UINT values). Up to now I only found to do a while loop to wait for the result of the other task. Is there a better way to do it? Is this the way OPC UA functions should be used (for "not too long" function calls) or should I use another mechanism (method: Start, event: Finish, method: getResult)? Regards

Second, how Can i sort out this data to use it in my program? I followed a youtube tutorial which gave me the attached result, which works. But I need some other smart way of doing this when the object gets even more data in it. Any help is very appreciated :)
