I have a Array of constant size defined like this Var Constant MAX_SIZE :UINT := 10; End_var VAR array : ARRAY[0..MAX_SIZE] OF INT; END_VAR Now I want to pass this array to a function by reference, Function fun : INT VAR_IN_OUT CONSTANT MAX_SIZE : UINT; END_VAR VAR_INPUT array : REFERENCE TO ARRAY[0..MAX_SIZE] OF INT; END_VAR but when I run this it gives strange Errors Error : Cannot Convert type 'ARRAY [0..MAX_SIZE] OF INT' to type 'ARRAY[0..MAX_SIZE] OF INT'

Did you find a solution for this? I am seeing the same errors.

Post by tvm on Cannot pass array of constant size to a function as a reference ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
maybe this would be a better approach, then you don't have to pass the constant at all. FUNCTION fun : INT VAR_IN_OUT arr: ARRAY[*] OF INT; END_VAR VAR lower: DINT; upper: DINT; END_VAR lower:= LOWER_BOUND(arr, 1); upper:= UPPER_BOUND(arr, 1); see here as well https://help.codesys.com/api-content/2/codesys/3.5.12.0/en/_cds_datatype_array/

Post by shamcke on Array with generic constant as persistent variable ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I have written a function block that uses a generic constant for the upper bound of an array. I wanted to have this array in the persistent memory area, thus I constructed my FB as follows: FUNCTION_BLOCK FbWithGenericArrayLength VAR_GENERIC CONSTANT uiArrayLength : UINT := 10; END_VAR VAR PERSISTENT arr : ARRAY[1..uiArrayLength] OF INT; END_VAR In my PLC_PRG I declare an instance of said FB PROGRAM PLC_PRG VAR myFb : FbWithGenericArrayLength<10>; END_VAR This compiles just fine. When I let CODESYS fill my persistent list, it adds duplicate entries {attribute 'qualified_only'} VAR_GLOBAL PERSISTENT RETAIN // Generated instance path of persistent variable PLC_PRG.myFb.arr: ARRAY [1..uiArrayLength] OF INT; // Generated instance path of persistent variable PLC_PRG.myFb.arr: ARRAY [1..uiArrayLength] OF INT; END_VAR so I manually delete the duplicate. When i now compile, I get errors ------ Build started: Application: Device.Sim.Device.Application ------- Typify code... [ERROR] Sandbox_FW31: PersistentVars [Device: PLC Logic: Application](Line 4): C0161: Border 'uiArrayLength' of array is no constant value [ERROR] Sandbox_FW31: PersistentVars [Device: PLC Logic: Application](Line 4): Type of mapped variable is not equal to original type Compile complete -- 2 errors, 0 warnings Build complete -- 2 errors, 0 warnings : No download possible Is is simply not possible to use a generic constant for the persistent array? Thanks in advance. Edit: It seems I can manually replace the uiArrayLength in the persisten list by the value 10 I used as the generic constant for this particular instance.

Post by struccc on Release SP20 - Changes in behaviour? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Dear all, I've just started to migrate some of my ancient projects to SP20. There is one strange error (?) I have noticed so far. In a method call, depending on the circumstances I would like to return reference to an object, or an invalid reference: METHOD Add_EVT_OUT : REFERENCE TO FB_MSG VAR END_VAR IF __ISVALIDREF(refMSG_Entry) THEN Add_EVT_OUT REF= MANAGER.AddMsg_EVT_OUT( refMSG_Entry, _Get_EVT_Message(MSG_EVENT.OUT), _Get_EVT_AddCode(MSG_EVENT.OUT) )^; ELSE Add_EVT_OUT := 0; END_IF So far setting a reference variable to 0, did this. But now, the expression Add_EVT_OUT := 0; gives an error: [ERROR] DB_WTP_370: Add_EVT_ACK MSG_TRIGGER_EXT: C0032: Cannot convert type 'BIT' to type 'REFERENCE TO FB_MSG' Naturally... I can write: Add_EVT_OUT := DWORD#0; But is this the correct way? Is there any constant I could use instead, like "NULL"? Or this is totally wrong and to be avoided?

@trusty-suire, The problem is not encoding. The problem is that codesys ands ' ' to the string. And the printer can't handle these character.

If I select "Update boot aplication" while I download the code the persistent variables got a constant startup value. But during the running I am still not able make the persistent variables to hold they actual value.

I also installed your codesys version with the codesys for raspberry pi package version 4.7.0. but with no succes, only the TCA multiplexer has a constant green turning circle, the ADS1115 still changing from running to not running.

Could not find the solution to this issue but I have side stepped this by creating a global variable MAX_SIZE.

okay but will this pass the array by copying it or it will be a reference to original array only.

Post by tvm on Generic Variables and FDB ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I also ran into this, try using Coil<1> as the type in the FBD box. From what I understand, with VAR_GENERIC CONSTANT, the compiler creates separate data types for each different function block declaration.

Post by pistola on How to change font and font color rectangle/or related object ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Here is the help sections for visual elements rectangle. https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Visualization/_visu_elem_rectangle.html Under "Font Variable" there is "Color" which is a Dword, you can make a variable that changes colour within your code to the color needed. Note the format for the Dword variable is: colorVariable := 16#TTRRGGBB Where: TT = Transparency 00-FF RE = Red 00-FF GG = Green 00-FF BB = Blue 00-FF https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Visualization/_visu_animate_color.html
