Same for me. I have problems with UAExpert too. Can't see the Current Value of Enum and can't control. Did some Tests with Python opcua library. Not working with the communication manager so far.

Post by mubeta on Strange problem with the ‘MC_SetPosition’ function
CODESYS Forge
talk
(Post)
CoDeSys 3.5.19.7 Target Berghof MX6 In a simple SoftMotion programme with two stepperless modular axes from CMZ, one is simply controlled in speed, but a spot must perform a positioning. I use the function MC_SetPosition() both to reference the axis at power-up and also to correct the actual position to a fixed machine reference detected with proximity. The function has only one instance and I actually use a booelan variable to control the ‘Execute’ input. Well, I cannot correctly change the axis position on the fly if it is running at high speed. The servomotor works in a speed range between 0°/s and 720°/s, (gearbox output with a 1:6 ratio). As long as the servomotor is operating at speeds below about 400 °/s, the function is able to correct the position correctly even when forcing values far apart, but at high speeds, from 400 °/s upwards, the correction no longer takes place. For example, trying to correct the position of 280° into 300° with absolute mode, the axis that is moving at speed actually shifts the position by a few degrees, not the expected 20. I don't understand why with the servo drive running slowly the position shift occurs correctly, while increasing in speed it no longer works.

I would just use projectachives instead of using projects if you work with different pc's then all project related libs and devices are included.

Is it possible to change the variable being traced during runtime? I would like to use the CURRENTCLIENTID in combination with an array of real numbers to alter the traced variable in a display window, without needing to create separate visualizations for each variable.

I don't recommend using 'Communication Manager'. Under 'Communication Manager', the 'NodeId' type of OPC UA can only be of type 'OPAQUE'. This will bring compatibility issues to the development of the upper computer.

I don't fully understand the issue, but if the encoding is a problem you can try testing with WSTRING datatype instead of STRING. https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Development%20System/_cds_datatype_wstring.html

I haven't actually found an answer yet. It happens quite rarely, so testing and diagnostics are complicated. I've updated the software with every SP and add-on updates released, but it's probably a Kernel driver issue.

Thank you, Bingo. Your idea of adding the change to the start up process works. However, I am still intrigued with the fact that SysSockSetIPAddress(strEthernetPort:= '0', strIPAddress:= '192.168.2.12') is different from PLC Shell (setipaddr 0 192.168.2.12).:-(

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.
