Post by fabiodasilveira on PLC Shell commands via ST Code ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello Everybody, I have created a project for an Eaton XC303 that sends lots of data to a router via UDP. It works fine. However, when there is more than one product connected to the router, then it is necessary to change the IP address of the Ethernet port 0, from e.g. 192.168.2.11 to 192.168.2.12 (second product). It is easily done via PLC Shell (setipaddr 0 192.168.2.12), but the people in production is struggling with the PLC Shell commands and I would like to create a Visualization page that will hide that. I used the instruction: eChangeIPResult:= SysSockSetIPAddress(strEthernetPort, strIPAddress); and it works, until the PLC resets. I already read some posts and it appears that I need to stop the Ethernet 0 port and Reconfigure it, but I am really struggling to find the right way to do it. Any help will be much appreciated.

I found the solution. The NIC information on Deploy control SL should be defined to scan profinet devices. So I moved to the next challenge. Device is founded but still it has orange mark not green.

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.

Post by abuckie on i2c master not running ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
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.

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.
