Is there somewhere in the Codesys help files that generally details what configuration options are available for this file, and what details it logs regarding the configuration file? Or is that going to differ by libraries being used? Thanks!

We are working on a project and the customer required 3.5.16 BF4. After working on the project for a few weeks I opened it the next morning and it could not access libraries. IecVarAccess could not be accessed. I checked if windows updated - it did not. So no explanation for why it lost access other than that I shut down the computer for the night. Note that I am using a demo license. I still haven't figured out any reason to purchase a license. So I spent the next hour reinstalling CodeSys. Note that I did NOT uninstall first. After install I waited another 5 minutes for it to open the first time. I clicked File->Open to open the project. Previously I had selected File->Recent Projects - not sure if that makes and difference. But after this process it did open the project and compile it just fine. This is miserable. If this had happened when I went on site to a customer I would have lost hours of work doing the reinstall. Is there a different and quicker fix?

Colleagues, i have the same problems. At the current time, I have to use the new version of the Codesys (3.5.20.10) + Control for Linux SL 4.11.0.0, but it works unstable : theree are a lot of freezes and not-respondings. I tested this on different projects: those that were created in the current version of the project, and those that were migrated from other versions of the development environment. Compiling a project without connecting to a controller is fast enough. The first downloading of the code into the controller, too. But as soon as you need to make edits and download a new code problems begin. Codesys "freezes" at the "Generation code" stage for 15-20 minutes. And only after that time loads the code into the controller. Previously, we used version 3.5.17.60 + Control for Linux SL 4.7.0.0. The process took 1-2 minutes. Do you have any ideas how can i fix it? I will be grateful for your answers.

For the Virtual Control you need to use a "Network license". The Virtual Control has parameters of which one is the reference to the license server. This can be the device itself, but you need to activate the license on the host system (not in the container). For this, CODESYS has a Network License server with WBM (web based management). See for the Network License configuration: https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Control/_rtsl_license_controller_linux.html If it is only for evaluation, I would advise to use a CODESYS (USB) key and activate the license on the key. Then you still have to install the CODESYS Network License server on the host, but you don't have to activate the license as soft license on the device. The benefit is that you can easily move your license to another device when needed. Off course your device must have a free USB port available to be able to do this.

Hi Kim, Hi eschwellinger, how you could solve the problem? I am using Codesys V3.5.19.60 and I still have the same problem. It will work only after a warm/cold restart. Thank you in advance for your kind help.

sorry I missed to say how to do this just update the runtime. (extract latest debian package out of the CODESYS package) but 8n this case an update all to the latest version including CODESYS is probably the easiest option now.

I have now and it works. I had the idea that it had something to do with codesyscontrol.cfg, but where can I find a description of all the things you can set in codesyscontrol.cfg and its syntax?

Maybe check: - The library manager, are you maybe missing some libraries - Tools - CODESYS installer: update the CODESYS Visualization and Visualization support - Project - Project environment: maybe you need to update the visualization profile

Hi ducng, you need to make sure that MC_Power.Status is TRUE before you give a rising edge to MC_MoveRelative.Execute. (This is the same for virtual and real axes). Best regards, Georg

Hello Tim, I am using CODESYS Visu V4.8.1.0. It works when I turn off the "Support client animation and overlay of native elements". But if I do that, dialog box moving and other options are also disabled so it is a bit problematic. Thank you for helping.

Hi, how do you change the Git local repository folder name? It is called "project" by default, so we would like to rename it to something more descriptive especially for the remote repo's sake. Thanks!

To search for an exact phrase, put it in quotes. Example: "getting started docs"
To exclude a word or phrase, put a dash in front of it. Example: docs -help
To search on specific fields, use these field names instead of a general text search. You can group with AND or OR.
