Hello SDO will write to the drive, not the axis, so you need to pass in the ethercat slave: VAR_IN_OUT Axis: IoDrvEthercatLib.ETCSlave; END_VAR Then you can get the address with: Axis.PhysSlaveAddr (as UINT)

Go to the menu Tools - CODESYS Installer. Here you can manage your add-on packages. Go to Browse, find CODESYS Communication and install this add-on.

Hello mos89p, I had the same problem. There is a lot of threads about this, but not one up to date. Your solution worked and I was finally able to use my software again. Thank you!

Hello, I encountered this same error. I was able to resolve it by allocating more messages when I open the network driver (ctMessages:= 100). By default it is set to 25.

@eschwellinger - We are experiencing the exact same issue. RunTime 3.5.19.70 and IDE V3.5 SP21. It's 100% reproducible. All you have to do is disconnect the network cable for about 10 minutes. OPC UA Crashes and requires a reboot to fix.

Same Issue here. If I understood correctly codesys plans to discontinue the classic SymbolConfigurations. But somehow, the CommunicationManager doesnt seem to support structures or arrays.

It is not an error, but just an information message. You need to select the correct location in your device tree where you want to import the objects. E.g. select Application below your Device.

Hello, I am trying to create an Ethernet/IP device that can read analog signals, do some basic logic on it and then hand communicate the results to an Ethernet/IP master. I am using the Raspberry Pi to experiment with this as I would ultimately like to drive a display as well. I have loaded up the runtime on the Pi and got the digital I/O working. I have an ADS1115 ADC to I2C board and I can't get it to work, I get a message telling me the i2c master is not running and I am not sure where to start with this. Is there a manual for running CODESYS on the Pi or something like that I am missing? I found this post and opening the project in CODESYS V3.5 SP21 it seems like tons of this wouldn't convert properly https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/Runtime/thread/f1400b71b6/ I have added in the library and device manually and copied the structured text program but lost at what to do if the core functionality of the master is not running. I appreciate any help, thanks.

Are these variables already declared in the IO list? It looks like it's trying to create new variables instead of mapping them to the existing ones.

Does anyone know how to access the ModbusTCPSlave_Diag.ComState without declaring each one by the device name? I attached them to an array but since I may have dozens of devices this is still a bad solution.

Arrays with variable lengths are a bad idea. This makes your system unstable and can lead to crashes. Declare your array large enough to reserve enough memory

You can use function blocks like TCPServer to start the Retro Bowl College server and TCPAccept to handle incoming connections, with CAA.Handle simply acting as a reference ID for each resource.

In my case, I used a different version of gateway. ex)3.5.18.5 sysTray gateway start did not work, so I terminated it and made it work with 3.5.18.3 in "codesys installer" "Settings" and was able to connect to the PLC.

Thx for the hint. It works if I add following line to the .cfg file. PlaceholderFilePath.2=/sys/devices/w1_bus_master2, $OneWire2$ Is there a documentation how to modify this config file? Will this be overwritten if I do an update of the CodesysControl Runtime?

Hi, do you process the sentences subsequently? If not, the function block fills the sentences (queue) and waits for the sentences to be processed, so that new sentences can be read and filled to the queue.

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.
