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. FUNCTION_BLOCK Symbols_TO_STR VAR_INPUT i_sPath : STRING(255); i_diIndexChild : DINT; i_diIndexComponent : DINT; END_VAR VAR_OUTPUT q_diChildCount : DINT; q_diComponentCount : DINT; q_sName : STRING(255); q_sValue : STRING(255); q_sType : STRING(80); q_sErrorResult : STRING(80); END_VAR VAR uiStepCopy : UINT; uiStep : UINT; uiStepProcessCopy : UINT; uiStepProcess : UINT; _IBase : IecVarAccessLibrary.IBase; _pIIecVarAccess5 : POINTER TO IecVarAccessLibrary.IIecVarAccess5; _IIecVarAccess5 : IecVarAccessLibrary.IIecVarAccess5; _RTS_IEC_RESULT : IecVarAccessLibrary.RTS_IEC_RESULT; _udiResult : UDINT; _VariableInformationStruct : IecVarAccessLibrary.VariableInformationStruct; _IBaseTreeNode_Parent : IecVarAccessLibrary.IBaseTreeNode; _IBaseTreeNode_Child : IecVarAccessLibrary.IBaseTreeNode; _ITypeDesc_Child : IecVarAccessLibrary.ITypeDesc; _TypeDescAsUnion_Child : IecVarAccessLibrary.TypeDescAsUnion; _arIBaseTreeNode_Child : ARRAY[0..20] OF IecVarAccessLibrary.IBaseTreeNode; _TypeClass_Child : IecVarAccessLibrary.IBaseLibrary.TypeClass; _psSymbolName_Child : POINTER TO STRING; _sSymbolName_Child : STRING(255); _IBaseTreeNode_Component : REFERENCE TO IecVarAccessLibrary.IBaseTreeNode; _TypeClass_Component : IecVarAccessLibrary.IBaseLibrary.TypeClass; _ByteAddress_Component : __XWORD; _ByteOffset_Component : __XWORD; _sArrayIndexName_Component : STRING(20); _diArrayIndexCalc_Component : DINT; _diArrayIndexValue_Component: DINT; _psSymbolName_Component : POINTER TO STRING; _sSymbolName_Component : STRING(255); END_VAR uiStepCopy:=uiStep; uiStepProcessCopy:=uiStepProcess; CASE uiStep OF 10: // GET IBASE FROM CURRENT APP _IBase:= IecVarAccessLibrary.IecVarAccGetFirstInterface2(0); IF _IBase<>0 THEN uiStep:=20; ELSE q_sErrorResult:=CONCAT(UINT_TO_STRING(uiStep), ': IecVarAccGetFirstInterface2'); uiStep:=9000; END_IF 20: //QueryInterface IIecVarAccess5 from IBASE _pIIecVarAccess5 := _IBase.QueryInterface(IecVarAccessLibrary.ITFID_IIecVarAccess5, ADR(_RTS_IEC_RESULT)); IF _pIIecVarAccess5<>0 AND _RTS_IEC_RESULT=0 THEN _IIecVarAccess5 := _pIIecVarAccess5^; uiStep:=30; ELSE q_sErrorResult:=CONCAT(UINT_TO_STRING(uiStep), ': QueryInterface_IIecVarAccess5'); uiStep:=9000; END_IF 30: // Get IBaseTreeNode_Parent _IBaseTreeNode_Parent := _IIecVarAccess5.VarAccGetNode3(ADR(i_sPath), ADR(_VariableInformationStruct), ADR(_RTS_IEC_RESULT)); IF _IBaseTreeNode_Parent<>0 AND _RTS_IEC_RESULT=0 THEN q_diChildCount:=_IBaseTreeNode_Parent.ChildCount; uiStep:=40; ELSE q_sErrorResult:=CONCAT(UINT_TO_STRING(uiStep), ': IBaseTreeNode_Parent'); uiStep:=9000; END_IF 40: // Get IBaseTreeNod_Child IF(q_diChildCount-1>=i_diIndexChild AND i_diIndexChild >=0) THEN _IBaseTreeNode_Child := _IBaseTreeNode_Parent.GetChild(i_diIndexChild); IF _IBaseTreeNode_Child<>0 THEN uiStep:=50; ELSE q_sErrorResult:=CONCAT(UINT_TO_STRING(uiStep), ': IBaseTreeNode_Parent'); uiStep:=9000; END_IF ELSE q_sErrorResult:=CONCAT(UINT_TO_STRING(uiStep), ': i_diIndexChild OutBounds'); uiStep:=9000; END_IF

You can get the state by just using the name of your node (same name as in device tree): VAR etcState: IoDrvEthercatDriverLib.ETC_SLAVE_STATE; END_VAR etcState := EJ1100.wState; Alternatively, you can iterate through the device tree to get the status of all (Ethercat) nodes. See here an example (no guarantee it works, just give as suggestion): PROGRAM P_IO_State VAR CONSTANT uiMAX_NR_OF_TERMINALS : UINT := 100; END_VAR VAR // general device diagnosis // can only be used when the Device - PLC Settings - Advanced settings - enable diagnosis for devices is enabled // this will add the DED library coupler: DED.INode; terminal: DED.INode; aDeviceState: ARRAY[0..uiMAX_NR_OF_TERMINALS - 1] OF DED.DEVICE_STATE; uiTerminalCount : UINT; uiIndex : UINT; // for each terminal check if it implements device diagnostics xQueryResult: BOOL; itfDevice : DED.IDevice2; xDiagAvailable: BOOL; eError: DED.ERROR; xEverythingOK: BOOL; END_VAR uiTerminalCount := 0; // start at the top of the device tree with the first EtherCAT coupler coupler := EtherCAT_Master.FirstChildNode; WHILE coupler <> 0 DO // for each coupler that is found start at the first terminal terminal := coupler.FirstChildNode; WHILE terminal <> 0 AND uiTerminalCount < uiMAX_NR_OF_TERMINALS - 1 DO // for each terminal that is found get the status through the device diagnosis interface xQueryResult := __QUERYINTERFACE(terminal, itfDevice); IF xQueryResult THEN aDeviceState[uiTerminalCount] := itfDevice.GetDeviceState(xDiagnosisInfoAvailable => xDiagAvailable, eError => eError); uiTerminalCount := uiTerminalCount + 1; END_IF terminal := terminal.NextSiblingNode; END_WHILE coupler := coupler.NextSiblingNode; END_WHILE uiIndex := 0; xEverythingOK := TRUE; WHILE uiIndex < uiTerminalCount DO IF aDeviceState[uiIndex] <> DED.DEVICE_STATE.RUNNING THEN xEverythingOK := FALSE; EXIT; END_IF uiIndex := uiIndex + 1; END_WHILE

Post by duvanmoreno24 on Modbus writing on value change ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Yes, I tried to do what you put in the first code. However, I have a problem with that and that is that the inputs must be declared with the type. I have many data types running in my code (real, int, uint, bool) and I can't put them in the same function, another thing is that I need to instantiate that function for everything I want to write to the slave. You put a for to 200 but it means that it has to be the same data type and inside the array, but I want to get them individually. I'm struggling to do it in a good and efficient way like wago's E-cockpit does. in the first screenshot you can see, you simply type in value, change the package of things you want to write in value change and it does everything by itself automatically, without comparing any old and new values and even less having the need to activate a bool. , it is perfect.
