Post by kevinm on Attaching Trace variable to Frame Configuration Variable ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Is it possible to show a variable from a Frame Configuration in a Trace on that Visualization? I want to pass the FB for an AXIS_REF_ETC_SoE_Standard to the visualization and display live axis data in the visualization. However, I cannot find a way to use a Frame Configuration variable in the Trace Configuration dialog.

Hello, many thanks for your reply. I checked the logs. It seems that dll is not loaded. However other dll such as the Webserver are loaded. Could you tell me what I need to do such that my dll is loaded. (Furthermore I changed the C-Function a bit. I used the M4.exe from the SDK.) Many thanks.

Post by manuknecht on FileDialog - OnDialogClosed not called anymore ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I had similar issues with the OnDialogClosed not being called. I realized that this behaviour is resolved, when the according visualization object on which the input configuration is set is moved to the foreground. Somehow, the object has to be one of the lowest elements in the Element List (i.e. in the foreground) for it to work.

OK, I figured out that I can simply define all the sensors as 16 bytes IN/OUT, even if they are not all used. EDIT: The negative effect is that each bit is taken into account as an I/O for the license, even if not used.

the Answer is easy, you don't reapecting the codesys-behaviour and pre-request on a dll/so like you like to create. codesys won't load it about the fact that the dll isn't registered in codesys. check this page for more informations: https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Control/_rtsl_extension_extension_sdk.html

Post by testyhalftime on Version management ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi Suyash! To avoid library mismatch errors in CODESYS, always use the same IDE version your project was created with. Use the Library Manager to check and update libraries. For consistent results, keep a record of project and library versions, and avoid auto-updates unless necessary. https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/Engineering/thread/ea1bdacd28/Geometry Dash

I'm also seeing this issue, my instances of the frame will date but not for new parameters that I add to it. Has anyone seen a fix or a way to force the parameter update other than recreating all the frame instances?

Post by imdatatas on 3.5 P20 hangs - no response ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, You can give a try it by adding "Codesys.exe" in the "Exclusions > Process" section of the Windows Security Center or your antivirus program. I hope it works for your situation. Antivirus programs check many things during both the installation or startup of an application, and may be slow down or block some functions. Regards Imdat

How can I change the default color - blue - for active lanes, contacts and coils? I'd like a lighter color. After having failed in finding a related option in the IDE, I've looked at the "Default.editortheme" file in CODESYS' directory, but couldn't see any related option. Thank you

Hello, I was wondering if there is a list somewhere of all the parameters that can be used inside the "/etc/codesyscontrol/CODESYSControl_User.cfg" configuration file ? I searched the documentation but didn't find anything. If it doesn't exist, that would be nice to have a little bit more documentation about this file :) Thank you for your help, BR

I'm trying to open the VisuDialogs.Numpad dialog to enter a new temperature setpoint on one of my VISU screens. For some reason, the numpad dialog does not appear as an option in the Open Dialog dropdown in my input configuration. I'm very new to CODESYS, so sorry if this is a simple fix/known item XD.

There has been a fix in SP21. I tried it in this version with the option "Use unicodestring" enabled in the Visualization Manager and it worked if the variables used for the function are declared as WSTRING variables wsFormat : WSTRING := "%t[HH:mm:ss dd.MM.yyyy]"; wsTime : WSTRING; IECStringUtils.FormatDateTime(cbpResult := ADR(wsTime), uiResultCapacity := SIZEOF(wsTime), cbpFormat := ADR(wsFormat));

Post by artplc on 3.5 P20 hangs - no response ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Subject: Solution: CODESYS Freezes Linked to Large Symbol Configuration (OPC UA) Hello everyone, I was experiencing the same problem as many here: CODESYS (v3.5 SP20+) freezing during compilation and download, especially on projects that use OPC UA for SCADA. The only workaround was to run Build > Clean all before every download. I believe I have found the root cause and a permanent solution. The Problem: The issue is directly related to a large Symbol Configuration. In my project, I only need about 700 tags for OPC UA, but the Symbol Configuration list was showing over 250,000 tags. This is because it automatically includes all variables from Global Variable Lists (GVLs) and other memory areas. When any static variable is changed, the IDE tries to rebuild this enormous list, causing it to freeze for several minutes. The Solution: Instead of letting CODESYS export every variable by default, you can use a pragma to tell it which variables or GVLs to exclude from the symbol export process. Place the following pragma at the top of any GVL or data structure that you do not want to be part of the symbol configuration: 1 {attribute 'symbol' := 'none'} 2 VAR_GLOBAL 3 // All variables in this GVL will now be excluded from the 4 // Symbol Configuration by default. 5 InternalVariable1 : INT; 6 InternalVariable2 : BOOL; 7 END_VAR After adding this pragma to all the GVLs that were not needed for OPC UA, the number of tags in my Symbol Configuration dropped to the correct amount. The compilation and download process is now fast again, with no freezing. This method is much more efficient than manually managing the symbol list in the editor. I hope this helps others who are facing this frustrating issue. Best regards.
