I tried to use C code in the library that I have been developing in the project, but without success. I tried to use the CODESYS Control SL Extension Package to generate XXXdep.h and XXXltf.h, but without success. Do you have a better example of how to generate these files and how to compile them?

I continue this topic by myself, I'm very happy with the Codesys support / community ;-) This information (Download time) should be stored in the compileinfo : https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Development%20System/_cds_cmd_load.html But the file is not text-readable (see attached file) so how to solve if download time is empty?

I am trying to create multiple branches in my project and I keep getting gaps in the ladder logic "wiring". I'm not sure if this is a graphical error or something else but every thing I've tried to do to correct it does not work. Has anyone else run into this or know how to correct it?

Hello everyone, I was just wondering if anybody knows if there's a way to pull the string name of the current visualization without using the current visu variable. I'm working on a project where we don't want web clients to change the current visualization on the HMI of the machine. Thanks!!

1) Based on your first screenshot. Do NOT filter on "Phoenix". Then first select the Ethernet adapter (of CODESYS) and add this to your device. 2) Then to this Ethernet adapter add a Profinet Controller of CODESYS. 3) Then to this Profinet Controller, add your Phoenix Profinet coupler/adapter.

Thank you Pernockham, I am using Windows SoftPLC and the device is CODESYS Control Win V3 x64. In the above attached example, the file is Linux-based. This is an external add-on file in the CODESYS installer (CODESYS Control for PLCnext SL). I am trying to implement it without this add-on file.

Hello, currently im working with a RevPi connect 5 on a codesys project. Up until now I was having a blast because things were going really smooth but for like almost a day im kind of stuck on the integration of multiple profinet sensors into my project. This is kind of a bummer because that should be an easy thing to do. What I tried so far was to create and additional ethernet adapter where I then tried to connect my devices. in the beginning I tried to connect the devices directly which was not working because I could assign the IP-adress only to the ethernet adapter and not to the devices but the device was found in the device repository (this gets important in the second part) So what I tried next was to setup a PN-Controller and connect my devices subsequently to the Controller. Sadly now the devices wont show up in the device repository anymore. To me its not clear why this is happening. And the worst thing is: I went ahead and setup a device completely like I would want to have it in the project and when I then click on scan devices I can even find the device. But it can not be added to project for whatever reason eventhough im 100% certain that the gsdml file is the correct one. Can anyone help me with this. Like I said this seems like an easy thing to do and its taking me way longer than expected already. The only thing that came to my mind why this might not work is because I have codesys license which only allows one profinet instance. Could that be the case? The error message seems then pretty unfit but ok. I will be grateful for every advice. Thanks in advance! Best regards!

To prevent ambiguous use of this enumeration value. Let's say another ENUM is available in your project or in another library which has an enumeration value AM_WRITE, then it is not clear which AM_WRITE you want to assign. By this qualified access to the SysFile.AM_WRITE, it is completely clear for the compiler.

I have library projects which has few function blocks. I have assigned security to each FB. I want to protect them and user can only be able to use it without viewing the code inside. What kind of file I should send to user? Is it compiled library file?

Hi aniket-b, If you save the library as a compiled library you are not able to see the source code. When the end user tries to view inside the object, CODESYS will give a notification that the source code is missing, see attachment. In short if you don't send the source code, it will not show.

For some reason the SVN works on CodeSys SP10. I already deinstalled all CodeSys Applications and installed them again but it's the same. Maybe the problem already occurred and someone could help me.

Hello dear colleagues. I have an ESTUN PRONET servo. I'm trying to control via softmotion over the CANopen bus. There is no Ethercat bus in this servo model. In another project,using Ethercat , I controlled four axes. I have problems with ESTUN PRONET servos. A DSP-402 driver mismatch is likely. I would be very grateful for your help in solving this problem.

Codesys has a motion libraries (SoftMotion), but you need to buy a licence keys for them to work. the most basic one is SoftMotionLight. you just have to select your drive in the device view and add a SoftMotionLight CiA402 axis. then the library is added to your project. You can use the SML_* motion FBs and configure the axis now.

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.
