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.

I've workaround it by not using an array but 30 instances of the struct and putting these in the recipe, and then using converter functions to save and load

Post by climblinne on Calling OPC UA Methods from UaExpert ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I hope someone could help me. I installed the newest Codesys 3.5 SP 20 Patch 1. When loading the demo files from @i-campbell I can upgrade them to the latest version and everthing works on the OPC-UA client side as expected (object "a" is visible, I can use the "ExampleMethod"). Now I * remove the "Information Model", * delete the "OPC_UA_Symbols Objects", * Add "Information Model" again * add "TestRootObjectType" again and "Generate IEC declarations" * and search for mapped instances (to get instance "a" again) Very good still working as expected. Now I delete the OPC_UA_Symbols and add it again referring to the "objecttest" from 16.9.2020. Also I redo the steps from above. The result is now, that I can't see the "a" object in the "Root/Objects" folder. Why ist this and how can I make it running? I think, it could may be a different version of the UA configuration file. I tried to build my own model definition files and got the same problem (but I am really not an expert). When someone has a actual model, which is also running in the actual Codesys I would be very grateful. Or even better, how to make the correct model in e.g. UA Modeler SW (I followed the description https://documentation.unified-automation.com/uamodeler/1.6.0/html/howprojnet_sec.html).

Post by ph0010421 on How to create a stopwatch? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Do you need an 'hours-run' counter? And 1 second resolution is ok? I think you're over-thinking it. (The task time needs to be < 1second) Have a look at the LAD... Then, the time in seconds can be made into hh:mm:ss with this FUNction Declarations: FUNCTION funSecondsToStringTime: string VAR_INPUT InSeconds: UDINT; END_VAR VAR AsString: STRING; Minutes: UDINT; Hours: UDINT; Seconds: UDINT; MinutesAsString: STRING(2); HoursAsString: STRING(2); SecondsAsString: STRING(2); END_VAR and the code: Hours := InSeconds / 60 / 60; //Derive hours Minutes := (InSeconds - (Hours * 60 * 60)) / 60; //Derive minutes Seconds := InSeconds - ((Hours * 60 * 60) + (Minutes * 60));//Derive seconds HoursAsString := UDINT_TO_STRING(Hours); MinutesAsString := UDINT_TO_STRING(Minutes); SecondsAsString := UDINT_TO_STRING(Seconds); IF LEN(HoursAsString) = 1 THEN HoursAsString := CONCAT('0',HoursAsString); END_IF; IF LEN(MinutesAsString) = 1 THEN MinutesAsString := CONCAT('0',MinutesAsString); END_IF; IF LEN(SecondsAsString) = 1 THEN SecondsAsString := CONCAT('0',SecondsAsString); END_IF; AsString := CONCAT(HoursAsString, ':'); //assemble string AsString := CONCAT(AsString,MinutesAsString); AsString := CONCAT(AsString,':'); AsString := CONCAT(AsString, SecondsAsString); funSecondsToStringTime := AsString;

Post by janderson on OPC UA Server limitations, large array crashes runtime ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
What are the limitations of the OPC UA Server? I am trying to get data off my PLC that is acquired at high rates (~50k samples/s) so I am storing them in arrays and trying to get the arrays off the PLC. When I attempt to read a ~200k element array through OPC UA the server and runtime crashes (requiring tools -> update linux arm64 -> start runtime). Is there a better way to get highspeed data off? The ACDatalog library seems a bit irritating to use so I would prefer to go through OPC UA.

Post by simotion on Pointer to Softmotion axis ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
In my projet I use Softmotion. There are several Softmotion axis (type SM_Drive_Virtual). In the Global Variable List I have an array of pointers to the adress of the Axis. Axis : ARRAY[1..iMaxCntAxes] OF POINTER TO AXIS_REF_SM3 := ADR(AX01_Axis), // [1 ADR(AX02_Axis), // [2] This works, but when compiling I get the message : . [WARNING] E3D: GVL Device: PLC Logic: Application: C0564: A reference to uninitialized variable AX01_Axis is used for initialization of Axis. Accessing the uninitialized variable may result in unexpected behavior. [WARNING] E3D: GVL Device: PLC Logic: Application: C0564: A reference to uninitialized variable AX02_Axis is used for initialization of Axis. Accessing the uninitialized variable may result in unexpected behavior. Is there a way when initializing to force the hardware (softmotion axis) to first initialize and then the Global Variable List?

Post by gilbertamine on Comparing Arrays of structure ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi Everybody, I'm looking for a simple way of comparing two array of a structure. My structure is define like this : TYPE Positions_T : STRUCT PosX: DINT; PosY: DINT; PosZ: DINT; END_STRUCT END_TYPE I have multiples Var : ARRAY [0..220] OF Positions_T, that I need to compare quickly. I don't really want to do a Loop that goes by every 220 points and compare each one of them so I was wondering if there is another way. I came accross the MEM.Compare function, but it require to know the size in Bytes of the memory, and I don't know how to do that... Has anybody an idea on how to do the comparing easily ? Thanks in advance

Post by dkugler on Webvisu client connection monitoring ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
you can give this code snippet a try. It's extracted and simplyfied from my code: Install VisuElemBase lib if not installed yet. Execute in visu task: VAR pClientData : ARRAY [-1..100] OF POINTER TO VisuElemBase.VisuStructClientData; END_VAR VisuElemBase.g_ClientManager.BeginIteration(); pClientData := VisuElemBase.g_ClientManager.GetNextClient(); WHILE pClientData <> 0 DO pClientData[pClientData^.GlobalData.GlobalClientID] := pClientData; END_WHILE You have to make shure every no longer updated pointers in the array have to be deleted and no longer used by your code! Usage of this pointer access at your own risk :-) Works with SP16. From SP17 and newer there will be warnigs etc. using this solution as I remember. It will be great, if Codesys publishes a example or give a hint how to accesse this client values with the VisuUtil lib or other future-proof way!

Post by imdatatas on String length issue in GetRecipeNames method ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, If the string length in the GetRecipeNames method is lower than the default value, there will be a problem with the resulting Recipe file names. For example; When the method in the link is called, let's say the defined string length is 19. In this case, the string content is corrupted as in the image. strArr: ARRAY[0..9] OF STRING(19); https://content.helpme-codesys.com/de/libs/Recipe%20Management/Current/pou-RecipeManCommands/GetRecipeNames.html The same problem does not occur when the string definition is made in the default size. strArr: ARRAY[0..9] OF STRING; FYI Regards, Imdat

Post by jampid on Struct Literal ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Bonjour Davidmic, Il n'est pas possible d'associer une méthode à une fonction. Cela est possible sur les Blocs fonctions. En utilisant ta DUT MyStruct, je créé une fonction avec en entrée un tableau de structure :** FUNCTION F_F3 : REAL VAR_IN_OUT // bien définir un type IN_OUT IN_ptrINT: ARRAY[*] OF MyStruct; // la taille sera définie ultérieurement/ END_VAR VAR _di: DINT; // Index de parcours du tableau pour l'écriture dans les cases ENDVAR ============== //Programme F_F3: FOR _di := LOWER_BOUND(IN_ptrINT,1) TO UPPER_BOUND(IN_ptrINT,1) DO IN_ptrINT[_di].som:=IN_ptrINT[_di].a + IN_ptrINT[_di].b; END_FOR J'utilise ensuite cette fonction dans un POU Programme : PROGRAM Test_F_Fx VAR _aiTAB9:ARRAY[0..3] OF MyStruct := [(a := 1, b := 1.2), (a := 2, b := 2.2), (a := 3, b := 3.3), (a := 4, b := 4.4)]; END_VAR ** ==========** F_F3(IN_ptrINT:=_aiTAB9 ); Voilà l'idée pour avancer. Une autre idée, est d'utiliser les pointeurs ou les références. Bon développement!
