Hello, Im running into a problem after moving from SP18 to SP20 or SP21. After the update I have an error with the TextFieldInmputHandler.VariableWritten which is implemented if de visualisation part of my software. The interface seems to have changed. I cannot find the new implementation. Does anyone know how to solve this issue.

https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/Engineering/thread/632c29cb93/#8d94 The above comment is the best, but if you just want to see it work you can try disabling the distributed clock. It's not the right thing to do but it should resolve that error.

Thanks Georg for responding. I have followed the suggestion mentioned in the real time problem. However, it does not solve the problem. The weird part is, the robot stops at the same position randomly and it does not stop when I increase the speed of the motion.

Hi @bertus I have a similar situation: just like in your case I can see that rounding works correctly only for the first element, additionally in my case on a path made of lines where I am testing this every second line is skipped. The interpolator jumps to every second iActObjectSourceNo.

for the package you net to install 32bit support(to have the native timprovider availble to deploy) sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 Then native Safeplc and native Safetimeprovider should be available to install.

Did you test this with the latest version of the CODESYS Visualization add-on? Something that you might want to test is if it works better when you disable the "Support client animation and overlay of native elements". Double-click on the VisualizationManager in your project to find this setting.

Ok, the problem is that the trend/trace system can't read function block instance data. The variables has to be stored directly under the program calling the FBs. Thus, FB variables to be trended/traced must be connected to variables declared in the program. Seems like a bug to me!

From Codesys support: The format of the URN is always the same. It's always urn:<vendor>:<product>:OPCUA:Server. What I think you can influence the vendor and product (DeviceName) through settings in the runtime cfg file:</product></vendor> [SysTarget] VendorNameUnicode="T\00E\00S\00T\00" DeviceNameUnicode="t\00e\00s\00t\00" Note that these are 16-bit strings, thus the ASCII padded with nulls

Hi everyone, Iβm using CODESYS V3.5 SP22 with the Communication Manager to run an OPC UA server. I have a problem with enums: when I view them in a client like UaExpert, only the last enum member is shown, and it has the wrong value. Has anyone seen this issue before or knows what might cause it? Thanks!

Georg, the encoder's actual position was -208 because I moved it manually for testing, but I managed to get it working. Your information is correct; there was a parameter error, Kp was at 0. After I adjusted it, it responded as expected. Thank you very much for your help.

in most of this cases the Installer ins't frozen, it's more likely that the Antimalware-Service-Executable slow's them down. Turning it off during installation of Codesys helped me all the time. Also keep attention on Taskmanager to get e feeling for the Installer Give it a try.

your case looks different, the first one was an codesys modbus tcp-slave, your's an Master-Application with gateway. I dont know this Unit, but i would say, from Point of Codesys it looks wrong configured. Just give us more detailed configuration and the please make a sketch of the topology you're trying to realise.

Are you making use of structs in the NVL? In the past I had similar behavior (NVL stops sending) when I added something in the struct. if you are making use of structs makes sure that the structs are identical in both projects. If this is not the case, have you tried changing the port number to something different than 1202?

Yes, this works (at least we have it running with Wago PLC and Beckhoff I/O), but the concept works. You need 2 PLC's with at leat 3 network interfaces. And 2 switches (can be unmanaged). See the attached simple diagram for the solution.

Hi! thanks for reply. We tested the configuration you proposed as well; however, when the cable between the controller and the switch was disconnected, the Active and Standby roles were swapped. Did you observe the same behavior in your configuration using WAGO and Beckhoff?

CODESYS Forge

I don't have time to go through the whole manual but as I said earlier, the servo drive does not support any of the modes needed for SoftMotion Light to work. If you want to use the full SoftMotion, you could use SMC_Homing function block to do the homing. This function block does not use the Homing Mode. It still uses the CSP mode and does the logic in Codesys runtime instead of in the servo drive. Read the documentation about it to see if it fits your needs. But if your controller only supports SoftMotion Light, I am afraid you will not be able to use the i950. I do a lot of motion stuff with different servo brands. Some support all the modes needed for SoftMotion Light and some don't. You really need to make sure the modes are supported before choosing a brand over another. I tend not to use brand specific controllers in order not to be limited by their supported features. I usually choose a PC (Linux or Windows) and install the Codesys runtime and licences myself. This is the most flexible way to use Codesys in my opinion. Depending on how many axes are needed in your project, a full SoftMotion license may not be more expensive than SoftMotion Light because SoftMotion is available as Application based license whereas SoftMotion Light is not. But of course, SoftMotion is harder on the CPU than SoftMotion Light.
