Hi, unfortunately, in Softmotion you have only access to the combined fraction - the scaling factor from user units to motor increments. It can be accessed using MC_ReadParameter with parameter number 1054. increments = user_unit_position * fScaleFactor

Post by pouyavakili on Execute Codesys Tests with python
CODESYS Forge
talk
(Post)
Thank you for your input! What I'm ultimately trying to achieve is automated test execution as part of a CI/CD pipeline (e.g. in GitLab or Azure DevOps). For this, I need to: Open a CODESYS project via script Build the project Run the Test Manager tests from a .TestRepository.xml Collect test results (e.g., pass/fail + a report) Exit with a proper return code (for pipeline success/failure) To integrate this into automation, I’m using the CODESYS scripting engine via Python (headless), but the issue is that the get_testmanager() function isn't available on the project object — even though Test Manager is installed, licensed, and works interactively in the IDE. Are you suggesting that I should: Use the Test Manager GUI to script the logic with its internal scripting language? Or is there a way to launch the Test Manager in headless/scripted mode, while still being able to control things via Python? If there's a supported way to automate tests with the Test Manager using scripting, especially from pipelines or headless environments, I’d really appreciate any pointers or example workflows. Thanks again!

Hello If you uncheck 'Auto restart Communication', it will try once and never again. You can manually reset the slave if needed : Slave.xReset (or something similar) Or I have a ModbusRTU library if you want to try it.

I am using V3.5 SP20 and version for AC_Datalog is 4.3.0.0 But in the log I get "DataLogStorage_SQLite: Not able to open table." Why and how to fix that?

Does anybody have a schema.sql so I can create the table myselves? Does anybody know to generate more logging information so I can see the tables names? Do we have a level option or something like that?

Hello, the request is no longer relevant. Thank you. Working with the Main Menu bar via the Alt key is the most effective method. It has absolutely everything there. Calling the context menu via the keyboard is not necessary.

Which RaspberryPi OS - have you installed on the PI? At the moment, there is a problem with latest Bookworm from December. You need to downgrade to October version of the OS - or wait 4.11.0.0. is released ( February) https://downloads.raspberrypi.com/raspios_armhf/images/ 2023-10-10 16:13 Version will work.

not sure on which plc you are - there might be the option with: https://forge.codesys.com/drv/sm3raspistepper/home/Home/ but it is more or less Pi restricted and need additional hardware too I guess.

Memory addressing is measured in bytes, with BOOL occupying one byte. BIT is quite unique as it occupies one bit. So, try not to use BIT in the program. You can use the Unpack function to solve your problem.

To search for an exact phrase, put it in quotes. Example: "getting started docs"
To exclude a word or phrase, put a dash in front of it. Example: docs -help
To search on specific fields, use these field names instead of a general text search. You can group with AND or OR.
