Is it possible to do non-formal invocation of function blocks in CODESYS? I get an error when I try, see the attached pic. Also attached a pic from IEC 61131-3 describing non-formal invocations.

Hi tommyk-mar, do you call SMC_SmoothPath after SMC_NCIntepreter? Both G51 in the G-Code and the function block call are needed. You can see how this can be done in this example: https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20SoftMotion/_sm_example_cnc_3.html Best regarsd, Georg

What do you think about having an AI Agent specialized in ST programming in Codesys? I see this saving hours and hours of work for those who program on a daily basis.

Hi -- Did you have any luck porting this over to RTE? I have a similar situation, where I am using CAA SerialCom and it works fine with Control Win, but I can't open the port when using in RTE. Any advice helps. Thanks!

Post by ryandmg on Web Client (HMI) Disconnects from Webvisu (Weidmuller u-OS)
CODESYS Forge

Hey Everyone, I'm having a bit of a struggle finding settings that will reliably maintain a connection between the webvisu and a touchscreen client. Every so often the HMI disconnects and will perpetually display the red spinning arrow with the "Error Happened, Will resume automatically" text. Power cycling the HMI to force a reconnect will re-establish comms. It seems to happen during periods of inactivity if that's a clue. From what I've gathered so far this seems to have something to do with the webvisu update rate, buffer size as well as the visu task scan rate. We first tried the default settings as follows: Webvisu Update Rate: 200 ms Webvisu Buffer Size: 50,000 Visu Task Scan Rate: 100 ms Priority 31 Other Tasks for Reference: Main Task Scan Rate: 100 ms Priority 1 Alarm Manager Scan Rate: 50 ms Priority 31 Ethercat Task: 4 ms Priority 1 This would disconnect some what regularly. We then made the following changes to try and stabilize: Webvisu Update Rate: 150 ms Webvisu Buffer Size: 75,000 Visu Task Scan Rate: 75 ms Kept other tasks the same. This seems to disconnect even more frequently. Also for reference the network is very small and only consists of the PLC, a small switch and the HMI. We're also not controlling frames from outside the visu program itself. The frame changes are all done natively. Any suggestions to get this to stop disconnecting? Oh and whatever the issue is the log does not record it. Figured I would ask here before opening a ticket. Thanks in advance for your help!

We are experiencing serious jitter issues on an ARM64 imx8. Until now, on rpi and beaglebone derivatives, and on Intel, we never encountered jitter issues unless they were already present on the device. In this case, as can be seen from the attached graph, we have excellent maximum latency. The cyclictest on the isolated core dedicated to IEC CODESYS tasks shows a latency of 37µs, with an average of 14µs. Usually, on all other devices, with an RT kernel, with the appropriate parameters to avoid frequency throttling, with properly managed IRQs, and with the disabling of large page sizes, the jitter measured by CODESYS is very close to the cyclictest latency. However, on this imx8, we are noticing a fluctuating value of +/- 300µs that seems to be added to this latency, as if something occasionally miscalculates the sleep times by exactly +/- 300µs. Two screenshoot attached. - Result of cyclictest - Jitter on CODESYS Tasks are assigned to isolated core!

I guess that the printer expects to receive an array of byte values. So where it is described that it expects to receive: Hercules String : 1B4F513030311B7532626C61636B04 it actually expects to receive an array of bytes with the values 1B,4F,51,30,30, etc. So what you can do is create an array of bytes and assign the byte value to each item in the array: VAR abyToSend : ARRAY[0..99] OF BYTE; END_VAR abyToSend[0] := 16#1B; // ASCII Escape character, hexadecimal representation uses 16# as prefix abyToSend[1] := 16#4F; // ASCII 'O' abyToSend[2] := 16#51; // ASCII 'Q' abyToSend[3] := 16#30; // ASCII '0' // you can do the rest yourself // maybe could be created a lot smarter, but gives you an indication how to handle this. Then with the serial communication (or TCP/IP?) you can send a message with the reference to the array (abyToSend) and the number of bytes to send (15 bytes for the string you gave as example).

You can get the state by just using the name of your node (same name as in device tree): VAR etcState: IoDrvEthercatDriverLib.ETC_SLAVE_STATE; END_VAR etcState := EJ1100.wState; Alternatively, you can iterate through the device tree to get the status of all (Ethercat) nodes. See here an example (no guarantee it works, just give as suggestion): PROGRAM P_IO_State VAR CONSTANT uiMAX_NR_OF_TERMINALS : UINT := 100; END_VAR VAR // general device diagnosis // can only be used when the Device - PLC Settings - Advanced settings - enable diagnosis for devices is enabled // this will add the DED library coupler: DED.INode; terminal: DED.INode; aDeviceState: ARRAY[0..uiMAX_NR_OF_TERMINALS - 1] OF DED.DEVICE_STATE; uiTerminalCount : UINT; uiIndex : UINT; // for each terminal check if it implements device diagnostics xQueryResult: BOOL; itfDevice : DED.IDevice2; xDiagAvailable: BOOL; eError: DED.ERROR; xEverythingOK: BOOL; END_VAR uiTerminalCount := 0; // start at the top of the device tree with the first EtherCAT coupler coupler := EtherCAT_Master.FirstChildNode; WHILE coupler <> 0 DO // for each coupler that is found start at the first terminal terminal := coupler.FirstChildNode; WHILE terminal <> 0 AND uiTerminalCount < uiMAX_NR_OF_TERMINALS - 1 DO // for each terminal that is found get the status through the device diagnosis interface xQueryResult := __QUERYINTERFACE(terminal, itfDevice); IF xQueryResult THEN aDeviceState[uiTerminalCount] := itfDevice.GetDeviceState(xDiagnosisInfoAvailable => xDiagAvailable, eError => eError); uiTerminalCount := uiTerminalCount + 1; END_IF terminal := terminal.NextSiblingNode; END_WHILE coupler := coupler.NextSiblingNode; END_WHILE uiIndex := 0; xEverythingOK := TRUE; WHILE uiIndex < uiTerminalCount DO IF aDeviceState[uiIndex] <> DED.DEVICE_STATE.RUNNING THEN xEverythingOK := FALSE; EXIT; END_IF uiIndex := uiIndex + 1; END_WHILE

Hello, I would like to implement RS232 communication into CODESYS Control RTE V3. I was writing the program testing it on CODESYS Control Win V3, where it worked fine. When I changed it to RTE, the communication was on, but I cannot send the data between PLC and scale - there is no or little response from scale - mostly one time receive and that is it. On Win V3 it was working fine. I read that I am supposed to configure CODESYSControl file for a proper communication using RTE, but even after that I can not get a stable and working communication. I am attaching my CODESYSControl and CODESYSControlUser data below, as well as I am sending the code from communication function. The communication should be through COM1 port of PC. CODESYS Version: CODESYS V3.5 SP21 + (64-bit) Runtime + Version: CODESYS Control RTE V3 Version 3.5.21.0 / CODESYS Gateway V3 - x64 Version 2.5.21.0 I would be much gratefull for any help. Sincerely,
