Post by nathant on Saving variable values on power cycle (RevPi Connect) ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, this seems to be a known issue, but persistent/retain variables don't seem to work properly on RevPi devices. Is there a workaround to this? All I need is for a few configuration variables to be remembered through power cycle.

Hi, I using persistence variables like below: VAR_GLOBAL PERSISTENT RETAIN id_worker1: ARRAY [0..3] OF INT := [231,234,176,222]; id_worker2: ARRAY [0..3] OF INT := [211,129,125,221]; Initial values can cause some problems?

This worked for me. I had four identical PLC's. Three of them worked just fine with 255.255.255.255 as the broadcasting address but the 4th would not update the variables. Changed it to 192.168.x.255 and everything worked.

Post by fless on FB having single input but initialized with Array ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Why will it retain the sum value from the last call? This is how PLC work. Usually variables only get initialized after a download or a reset (i.e. power loss). RETAIN variables are saved in a special kind of RAM and keep their value after a power loss. To initialize variables on every call of your FB use the VAR TEMP block. VAR_TEMP sum : INT; END_VAR

Post by stuartjr on POU Private variables ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Pretty sure I know the answer, but thought I would ask just in case. Is there a way to set variables declared in a POU to private so that they can not be accessed from other POUs. I tried using the library pragma, but that just stops the variables being displayed in the selection tree. My compiler version is 2.3.9.62 if that's relevant, and I'm using an ABB AC500 V2 PLC. Cheers

Post by pernockham on Is there a pragma for init/instantiation of local variables in FB (like in Methods) ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Im using a pointer as input for a FB and for convenience I like to use 'referenced' variable internally. I use this setup in methods which works because internal variables are instantiated for each call. In a FB these variables are instantiated and initiated for the first call only. Is there a pragma/attribute available that changes this behaviour to mirror a 'method'-call?

Hello otdeveloper, I am very interested in this topic. I have been dedicated to IEC 61499 for some time and I would like to understand if the time has come to adopt it in the real world of automation or if it will continue to fill up research papers only.

What is the exact meaning of the variables that measure the softmotion performance : Axis_Ref_SM3.perfTimers.udiAI_ns Axis_Ref_SM3.perfTimers.udiAO_ns Axis_Ref_SM3.perfTimers.udiBI_ns Axis_Ref_SM3.perfTimers.udiBO_ns

Hi, these variables are internal members of the axis. They measure the duration of some internal function calls.

Post by fless on Warning C0564 when compiling CNC project with variables program ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Update: We managed to avoid the warnings by changing the order of initialization by adding an attribute to the GVL with the variables. {attribute 'global_init_slot' := '49989'} The variables are initialized right before the regular GVLs (default GVL slot 49990). Note to Codesys: I see the problem, Codesys needs to initialize the CNC objects before the GVLs so they can be used in the GVL. But then you can't use variables from GVLs in CNC programs. Maybe you could disable the warning in your generated CNC objects? At least a note for a workaround would have been nice.

IDK why you lost values but about the limit, when you compile, you should have the information about the memory remaining.

no need to activate application composer. It is part of the licensefree part.

No. As you can see in the uploaded image, in my test project, I have a variable list GVL_1 which is located in appication_1. But if I write in POU_2, which is instead found in application 2, I cannot find the variables of GVL_1. it seems that the GVLs are children of each app
