Post by rikkrt on Limited options ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi! I was downloading codesys for a school project, but I cannot seem to find where and how to get the other programming languages. When I try to create a new project, I only get the option to program in structured text. *see problemcodesys.png Does anyone know where I can get the other languages? Thanks in advance, Rik

Hello, anyone know how to get valiable value using a symbolic string name? For example: - send string to runtime using TCP/IP contains "GVL.TestINT" and get back the value. I need function that will translate the string to symbolic variable. Thank you. Andrea

Post by felipemsgarcia on Generic EtherCAT slave ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello all, I still couldn't find the answer. I wanted to know is if there is a generic EtherCAT slave object already in CODESYS that I can use for anything, remote IO, Drives, VFD's and so on, as long as I match PDO's. Is there such an object? Thank you!

Post by koppit on SysComRead Timeout Parameter ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Im using SysCom ver. 3.5.17.0 and seem to have the same issue on a Raspberry Pi. It's not waiting for the requested number of bytes, no matter if "ulTimeout := SYS_INFINITE" or any other value. The only solution I have found is to stall the program to allow the serial port to recieve the data.

Post by denizerm on Deploy Control SL cant find Podman ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I found something that might be the main cause for this: /etc/os-release features the ID=debian entry on my reference system; When i temporarily override my DUTs os-release to feature ID=debian or similar its able to detect Podman. Is there a way to fix this behaviour?

Thank you for your answer. The build > Generate Code start the code of the application but does not modify the compileinfo. I work with .projectarchive to avoid this kind of problem. I would like to have the possibility to modify the compileinfo by myself so I can indicate the losses information.

While trying to install CODESYS 3.5.17.30 (64-bit) on my Windows 11 computer, I'm getting the errors below. The first error occurs near the end of the installation. Once you bypass it, the installation returns the second error. Do you have any suggestions for a solution? By the way, I've tried this on several PCs, but I haven't found a solution.

Post by gseidel on Can't get SMC_SmoothPath to work ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi bertus, thanks for the additional information. Setting bAbort on a restart is not needed. Calling all FBs starting from the decoder up to checkvelocities with bExecute = FALSE and then giving a new rising edge on bExecute is what should be done. Do you also restart the Interpolator? (I don't think that has anything to do with the issue, but still...) Best regards, Georg

Post by aniket-b on Scara3 kinematic robot error ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
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.

Post by blitz on Can't get SMC_SmoothPath to work ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
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.

There is currently a bug with the Raspberry Pi 64 SL where it is unable to Trend Global Retain or PersistantVars. The work around is to use standard Global Variables for Trend Data. This will be patched by Codesys in the near future reference "VIS-6170"

Hello everyone I have been trying to solve this problem for a long time. Please help me..... I have browsed: https://forge.codesys.com/drv/sm3raspistepper/home/Home/ and it says under "IMPLIMENTATION" that I have to create a POU with the text to be able to use: MC_Power or MC_MoveVelocity How do I write it into the CODESYS program?

Post by eschwellinger on NO SIGNAL ON POWER_ON FOR STEPPER MOTOR ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, how should that work? You need to download the example project and you need that structure of the project and one of the additional hardware sets https://forge.codesys.com/drv/sm3raspistepper/home/Home/ L298N or A4988, DRV8880. Important to have no GPIO in the project and have this additional tasks.

Post by mascara on CloseTargetVisu ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I need to add a button to the Visualization to close it. And create a shortcut on the Windows desktop to reopen the Visualization. This is necessary to configure, for example, a local IP address. Is this possible? What command closes the Visualization? Which program opens Visualization? System: Win10 Codesys: Control RTE V3 x64 Program: Codesys V3.5 SP20 Using only a touchscreen monitor, without keyboard and mouse.

Post by nulltrace on Codesys Installation Always Freeze when the installing is almost done ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
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.

Post by brouwyka on JSONByteArrayWriter string result incorrect order ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Additional note: When doing all additions to a JSON array one after another without additions outside the array inbetween (and no more additions to the array after an item outside the array has been added) - which is not a viable solution for us as we might add items to any of the arrays at any time, but we tested regardless to be thorough - we get the following result: { "id": "machine_1", "readings": [ { "temp_mid": 153.8 }, { "temp_mid": 98.3 } ], "status": "RUNNING" } This mostly matches our expected outcome, aside from the JSONByteArrayWriter not adding indenting before closing square brackets ("]") at all. That doesn't matter for JSON of course, as it's not sensitive to indenting, but it's still a bug regardless. Also, it adds an unnecessary newline between items in the array (at least when having an array of objects, we haven't tested with arrays of primitives). I also want to reiterate that this is not a viable workaround for the issue for us - we have to be able to add to any array at any time, which should be possible according to the docs, and we are 100% sure indexes are correctly being managed and built up by the JSONBuilder and our wrapper (to track the index of each array & the latest item added to each exactly to make use of the documented possibility to add anything anywhere in the JSON at any time as long as you keep track of the returned indexes) around it.

Post by josepmariarams on Limit Axis CNC Jerk using SMC_Polynomial_AbsMaxLocs ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I am using both functions for: I override SMC_LimitDynamics o calculate the individual axis jerk on polynomial movements. LimitDynamics only controls acceleration and velocity, it's not enought to create smooth movements. To solve the problem when smothing path create loops. It seems that polynomial passes two times by the same point and smc_smooth path chooses incorrect one.
