Post by felipemsgarcia on Axis EtherCAT address ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I'd like to write some parameters to axes from inside a function block where I passed axis by reference, using ETC_CO_SdoWrite. Is it possible to get the device address from inside the function block? Please see example below. Thank you!

Post by egau on Enable and Disable Project IO programmatically ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi @eschwellinger, I tried this with Modbus COM slaves. I was able to disable them (slave becomes greyed out in the device tree), but the DED.Reconfigure "eError" output shows "NOT_SUPPORTED". After this, when I tried to re-enable the slave, it did not work (device stayed greyed out in the device tree), and the DED.Reconfigure "eError" output also showed "NOT_SUPPORTED". Is there something to do about this, or the device just doesn't support reconfiguration? P.S: I tried this running locally on my computer (not in simulation mode). So of course I was not physically connected to the devices. I have two similar projects, but one of them doesn't have the Modbus_COM devices. I know I can "Exclude from build" the devices for that project, but I would really prefer not to do this if possible. I would prefer to dynamically toggle a configuration variable that would enable or disable the slaves.

Moin, falls jemand vor dem gleichen Problem liegt, hab ich inzwischen eine Lösung. Rechtsklick auf Audio, Device Profiles, dort alle anderen "Aus" und bei dem, welches benutzt werden soll, Analog Stereo-Ausgabe. Dann sollte die Audioausgabe eindeutig sein.

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.

For reference this is fixed by installing the new codesys install with a separate repository folder. Completely resolved. If anyone else sees this. I would like to know why the persistent devices repository folder does not properly retain between installs though.

It sounds like you are trying to use the device user management, but you can use the visu user management found in the Visu Manager for this.

You don't have to create 2 libraries. CODESYS will handle it automatically based on the selected device in your application.

You should use PLCnext if your device-hw is a PLCnext-un it. As I understand it you are using "CODESYS Control Win V3 x64".

Yes, this is possible with the Toolkit. We only server customers in the Benelux that do this, so contact your local CODESYS distributor, or contact the sales team of CODESYS Germany.

Hello I've just seen this feature: very nice. Using the 'DeviceReader' project previously, I could see the SL possibility too (Dongle or Softkey). Is it possible to get this status too please?

Post by spiessli on Softmotion axis to CANopen Maxon IDX drive ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Thanks for the advise, indeed, this was somewhat, what my intention was. I tried around again with EDSes and DCFs, anyway. It appears that the DCFs end up in a subfolder in the attach device dialog. Astonishingly, when attaching the DCF version I get a device in the device tree, where I can add a SoftMotion axis, whereas when I attach the device not in the subfolder, then I cannot. Further astonishingly, when looking in the CANopen parameters in supported profiles, "402" is listed in the case of the DCF variant, whereas in the EDS variant "0" is shown. Comparing EDS and DCF files I cannot guess, where the difference is coming from. I cannot tell either why I have always attached the EDS variant and apparantly never the DCF variant. As I am not in the lab right now, I cannot test if the connection actually is working. Thanks again, spiessli

Thanks for the answer. So yes I've enabled expert settings, and yes i've added some SDOs, but some of them who are generated are likely making a mess in the network and generated error with my device... From which library comes those 2 function blocks ?

Post by paro on OPCUA array max length? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I think the amount of data is already relatively high and maybe it has something to do with that? Maybe also the CPU load of your device? an array with string(5000)? and have you tested with how many array elements it still works?

The green icon with an ! next to the device is concerning. Is the data type correct for the input, you are using a byte input but the description says string. Is there anything useful in the status tab?
