Post by jzhvymetal77 on IecVarAccessLibrary.IBaseTreeNode methon ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I had this code working in a previous version of CoDeSys to read variables from a GVL that were added to the Symbol configuration. The problem now is that when I get the _IBaseTreeNode_Parent, it returns a valid interface, but none of the methods or properties work. If you monitor the _IBaseTreeNode in the watch window, it does show the correct child count. However, it fails at step 30, where the child count incorrectly returns zero. In the image, you can see that the watch window displays the correct value that the property should return. Attached is the full project code.

Post by rossanoparis on Clarifications regarding the appropriate runtime system to use ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hallo all I would appreciate some clarifications regarding the appropriate runtime system to use. I've been using 'KUNBUS CPUs' and 'CODESYS Control for Raspberry Pi MC SL' for the last 4 years. Recently, there have been some changes in the CODESYS licensing policy. [ https://store.codesys.com/en/howto_applicationbasedlicenses ] My questions are mainly two: 1) If I need to start a new project using 'KUNBUS CPUs', which is the correct runtime system to use. 2) Old projects built using 'CODESYS Control for Raspberry Pi MC SL' should be updated to another RT system? Current RT systems ... a)CODESYS Control for Raspberry Pi MC SL b)CODESYS Control for Linux ARM SL c)CODESYS Virtual Control SL May I count on receiving an explanation to understand the differences among the runtime systems listed above? A detailed and well-organized answer would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards Rossano

Post by rene-h on ClientFilter used the same Client ID 2 times - Bug? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, like the topic name says, i have a problem on one Visu which i cannot reproduce on another Visu. We filter buttons with input locks and visible items with [CURRENTCLIENTID] on different WebVisu's with different ID's, and one time the itfClient used the same Client ID for 2 Clients, so the Visualization on the first ID was wrong, because that one which connected after did not have the same permissions like the first, so the first one was blocked. We read the Clients with the VisuClientIteration project: //count active clients gCli.iNumberOfClients:=gCli.iNumberOfClients+1; // if client is active write data to global struct IF gCli.iNumberOfClients > 0 THEN gCli.astClientInfo[gCli.iNumberOfClients-1].iClientID:=itfClient.ClientId ; gCli.astClientInfo[gCli.iNumberOfClients-1].stCurrentVisu:=itfClient.CurrentVisuName; gCli.astClientInfo[gCli.iNumberOfClients-1].wsUserName:=itfClient.UserName; gCli.astClientInfo[gCli.iNumberOfClients-1].sIpAddress:=itfClient.GetIPv4Address(); gCli.astClientInfo[gCli.iNumberOfClients-1].ClientType:=itfClient.ClientType; END_IF Runtime from the device: 3.5.19.20 Codesys we use: 3.5.20.10 I added a screenshot where the same ID exists 2 times. Thanks for your answers.

Post by imdatatas on MC_CamIn did not work properly with SMC_FreeEncoder on SoftMotion 4.17.0.0 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I am facing a problem with the new Softmotion 4.17.0.0 version. Has anyone encountered a similar problem, what is the solution? I would be happy if you could share it. Problem description: -- "SMC_FreeEncoder" encoder axis is the master, -- The motor of the servo driver on the EtherCAT bus is the slave axis. -- When the MC_CamIn block executed, the InSync output is activated. However, although the master encoder axis position value changes, there is no movement in the slave servo axis! Test steps: 1-) EtherCAT servo axis installed, configured and motion test was performed with MC_Jog. No problem. 2-) Softmotion general axis pool > SMC_FreeEncoder was added and pulse amount configuration was performed. No problem. 3-) Incremental encoder actual count value was transferred to the "SMC_FreeEncoder.diEncoderPosition" variable as DINT under the ethercat task in every cycle and the encoder axis position value was observed. No problem. 4-) A simple CAM table with a 1:1 ratio was created under the project tree. (For example: Simply, when the encoder rotates 1 turn, the motor will rotate 1 turn.) 5-) The SMC_FreeEncoder axis enabled with MC_Power and brought to the StandStill state. 6-) The MC_CamTableSelect block was run with default input values ​​(all absolute) and only the Cam table name was specified. The Done output was seen successfully. No problem. 7-) The MC_CamIn block was activated with default input values ​​(absolute) and only the master encoder axis name, slave servo axis name, CamTableID input pins was specified and then "Execute" input set to TRUE. 8-) The InSync output information of the MC_CamIn block observed as TRUE. However, although the encoder axis value changed, the position value of the slave axis did not change at all, it did not move. It always remained at 0.0mm. 9-) When I repeated the same steps above, only changing the master axis to SM_Drive_Virtual instead of FreeEncoder and gave movement to the virtual axis, this time the slave axis moved successfully. However, when the same steps and operations are performed with the same IDE just downgrade SoftMotion version from 4.17.0.0 to 4.10.0.0, everything works normally and without problems as expected in MC_CamIn block with FreeEncoder master. (By the way, The used IDE version is Codesys V3.5 SP20patch3.) Best Regards Imdat
