Hi Eschwellinger, sorry for so late reply but I found a solution back then; uninstall completely Codesys V3x64 and re-installed Codesys V3x32 to properly note the password I created and everything went ok. thank you for your suggestion and have a good day/evening Mike

Post by bruno-roth on Parker Compax3 controlled by Schneider LMC 201 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, You could not run EtherCAT-Softmotion drives with LMC201 PLC. This Controller has an EtherCAT master but only to run simple I/O devices. You could not use this EtherCAT master on the LMC201 for Motion. Schneider PACdrive Controller use SERCOS and only own drives (LXM62 with Sercos) for motion.

Georg, the encoder's actual position was -208 because I moved it manually for testing, but I managed to get it working. Your information is correct; there was a parameter error, Kp was at 0. After I adjusted it, it responded as expected. Thank you very much for your help.

Hi TimvH, thanks for feedback. I also test the redundancy with Wago PFC 8212 but when I did it (firmware 28) it was not so much stable..Did you have some issue on master/slave switchover? are you using with EtherCAT remote I/O? I was looking for a most powerful hardware (PC based, x64) BR

Post by kurtk on dynamic modbus devices ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I am CODESYS neophyte getting my wheels on. My goal is to re-platform an existing PLC application written in 61131 ST I've got the majority of the code/variables in a compilable form - excluding all the IO and comms nuances I am not sure whether this the right forum An important functionality which I implemented on the other platform was totally dynamic modbus devices... Most configurations I have come across impose static MB configs in which all configured devices MUST be present and functional... I have monkeyed around with MB enough to know that herding a half dozen MB cats into a working config can be tricky. I just do them one at a time and dynamically turn them on/off in whatever combination is convenient with ID, IP, baud, parity etc being runtime tweakable. I am totally curious whether this is possible with codesys, or whether its device configuration corrals one into a static cage which requires re-building the code to support flexible variations. Best regards

Hi, sorry I can´t help you with your issue, but I hope you can give me a hint on getting GUID for other objects than POUs. Your code states "Guid("6f9dac99-8de1-4efc-8465-68ac443b7d08")". We can I find the GUID / ObjectIds`? I wasn´t able to get details about the GUID of DataTypes (STRUCT/ENUM,..)m, Functions (FUN), GLOBALS and TYPES. I want to create markdown of all available project elements. Thanks for your help

Post by paulpotat on Can't open license manager with raspberry CM4 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I have a problem when opening the license manager for my raspberry pi (CM4 model) with runtime 4.13.0.0. I select "Device" --> "Soft Container" and click on my device in the scan window but I get this error message : Licensing info not available. There is no dongle attached to this device. I can't install licenses anymore, and I don't understand why is CodeSys looking for a dongle when I specified I wanted to use a Soft Container. Can somebody help me please ? Best regards

Post by pernockham on Inheritence of struct, ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Interesting, thanks! Didnt know about ANY before, and will sure find a use-case for it. Im not sure it will help me here though, it seems to me that an ANY will not accept a string assignment? I actually think that the "ALIAS" should work, that was a hard found error. I had a fair bit of scratching my head looking for misdirected pointers before I understood what was (not) happening. I will use the work-around of individual structs instead.

hi! this is also a delayed answer, sorry for this. when coding in python i get the TCA9548a working. Is there someone who knows how big of a effort it would be to update Stefan's original code to make it work with a more up to date version of codesys or should i downgrade my system? andrax - are you using a downgraded version of codesys or have you downgraded all the libraries? What Oscat lib are you using? what version? thanks for your reply! Martin

Post by peter-skokanek on Raspberry and problem with runtime ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, Similar problem, I have license for Raspberrypi Control MC SL. It didn't work with version 4.10.0.0. I have now instaled new version 4.11.0.0. Raspberrypi Control SL. The same behavior, runtime works sometime several minutes, sometime only several seconds. The second problem is with license. There isn't available any runtime MC SL on Codesys shop, not even older version 4.10.0.0. Is it only temporarily or, MC SL will be not available more for rpi?

Post by k4zz on Continuous Build Server ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hallo Martin, Thank you so much for the Code example. It works really fine for .porject Types. However, I encountered a challenge when attempting to apply it to .library Types. I also tried the option to "Perform static analysis automatically after compilation" # get Project values myProject = projects.primary # Creates an active application app = myProject.active_application # build Application and run static code analysis app.generate_code() Could you please offer any insights into why this might be occurring?

Post by tib0r on c2iec - translating C to ST ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I was looking for a transpiler from some more widely used general programming language into ST. It was not easy but I found this :) https://forge.codesys.com/tol/c2iec/home/Home/ Does anybody use it for a programm/library of a couple of hundred lines or more? How does one go about using the output? Is there a “converter” into the Codesys IDE? PLCOpenXML? Would there be interest in this? tib0r

After creating a Function POU, it is not possible to then create an SFC POU. Steps to recreate: * Create a new Function POU. SFC is not allowed for Functions, so SFC does not show in the Implementation language dropdown. * Click Add Object -> POU... Function is selected for Type. * Select Program * SFC is not present in the Implementation language dropdown

Post by shaun on GAMP 5 and 21 CFR Part 11 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Good day I have been asked to do a project. It is for a pharmaceutical application and data needs to be logged. The spec calls for the control system to comply with GAMP 5 and 21 CFR Part 11. From what I can find online it's got to do with electronic records and validation. Has anyone developed any software using this or are there codesys librarys that can make my life easier in writing this code

Post by alexgooi on No Bootproject possible ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Dear Forum, When using a online-change I often get the following message: No Bootproject possible in this state: application out of memory. Perform full download first. I'm using Codesys virtual control for linux SL running on a docker server with plenty of memory available, therefore I’m not expecting a hardware limitation. Is there a setting available to for example reserve more memory, so the controller is not that quick out of memory? thank you in advance. Alex

How is that possible to put a Function Block Method in the Task Configurator, as they did in the CNC3DEditor.project example? In that exmaple, I removed the gCNCMachine.SlowTaskCall method from the Task Configuration and I can't put it back. https://us.store.codesys.com/cnc-3d-editor.html Thanks!

You can download the missing libraries by clicking on the "Download Missing Libraries" button. However, if you were unaware of this and accidentally downloaded the latest version of the library from the Library Repository, you may need to uninstall it first to avoid conflicts.

If you update all to the newest versions in the project environment and update all devices in the device tree, the errors should gone! Missing the device updates is often causing this problems!

it should be something like: fbWebClient : WEB_CLIENT.WebClient; You need to use the "Namespace" of the library, not the name of the library itself.
