Post by william on Unit testing support / libraries for EcoStruxure Machine Expert (CODESYS) ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, We are investigating available libraries and frameworks for automated PLC unit testing in Schneider EcoStruxure Machine Expert. Specifically, we are looking for: Assertion libraries or test frameworks compatible with Machine Expert CODESYS‑based solutions that are not TwinCAT‑specific Any official or community‑recommended approach for unit testing FB/FC logic offline We have found several open‑source examples, but many appear to be TwinCAT‑dependent and therefore not compatible. Are there any known libraries, best practices, or recommended approaches for implementing unit tests in Machine Expert? Thanks in advance.

Post by bschraud on Speicherbegrenzung für lokale Variablen ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Aufgrund einer Schnittstellenänderung muss ich meine Messagebuffer erheblich vergrößern. U.g. Konstante bestimmt die Größe einer Byte-Array-Definition, die in einer Struktur für 9 Botschaften verwendet wird. Ich benötige also 177372byte zusätzlichen Speicher in dem Modul in dem die Struktur als lokale Variable angelegt wird. Dynamisches Allokieren zur Laufzeit möchte ich vermeiden, damit ich nicht während des Betriebes Fehler aus dem Allokieren behandeln muss. Für ein Reservieren des Speicherbereiches habe ich in Codesys keine Einstellmöglichkeiten gefunden. Die Applikation läßt sich ohne weitere Modifikation kopilieren, scheitert aber bei der Ausführung. Welche Lösungs- oder Einstellmöglichkeiten gibt es?

CODESYS runtime version 4.9.0.0 for your Pi. ssh user should be pi. This is for RasperrPi Os 32 bit. If you are on RasperryPi OS 64Bit use Arm 64bit SL product as Runtime.

@eschwellinger, I don't understand what you mean by 'CANfox must also go' (English translation). Do you mean that the support for the CANfox must go? Have you any guidance as to get this working?

From bash I usually see codesyscontrol.service as the runtime service. Taking a step back, I guess you used Tool > Update RaspberryPi SL interface to install the runtime: what does the info popup window tells you about your destination system?
