Is there perhaps a place where I can see examples of programming with different instructions? This would be a great help. Maybe there are some places where ready-made programs are posted that can be downloaded and tested? /Klaus

Maybe check: - The library manager, are you maybe missing some libraries - Tools - CODESYS installer: update the CODESYS Visualization and Visualization support - Project - Project environment: maybe you need to update the visualization profile

Post by gseidel on SMC_ERROR.SMC_AXIS_NOT_READY_FOR_MOTION when using Drive Virtual ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi ducng, you need to make sure that MC_Power.Status is TRUE before you give a rising edge to MC_MoveRelative.Execute. (This is the same for virtual and real axes). Best regards, Georg

Hi kenth1973, no, we do not have this kind of information on internal variables. iPhasingState has been removed and is no longer present in current versions of SoftMotion. Best regards, Georg

Hi kenth1973, it is not a matter of who created the function block. It is just that we don't have, and don't provide, documentation about internal implementation details... Hope you can understand that, Georg

Hello, I have the same issue — some libraries aren’t resolved. When I load the libraries manually and delete them, reloading with the script works fine afterward. Have you found a solution since then? Many thanks in advance

I did some work around by adding IN switch on top of OUT bulb picture(SwitchImage) and setting IN switch button to invisible but this is not quite elegant. How to combine it to one visu element?

No that is not possible for function blocks, although it is possible to that with methods and functions as you see in your second pic.

Hi! Does anyone have an example of ReadNCFile2 with Sentence Modifier? Current examples on CODESYS help page are outdated and have a lot of errors, like "SMC_CNC_LibParams.MAX_SUBPROGRAM_NESTING_DEPTH" calls, which are not present in current version of SMC3_CNC library.

Hi tommyk-mar, do you call SMC_SmoothPath after SMC_NCIntepreter? Both G51 in the G-Code and the function block call are needed. You can see how this can be done in this example: https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20SoftMotion/_sm_example_cnc_3.html Best regarsd, Georg

What do you think about having an AI Agent specialized in ST programming in Codesys? I see this saving hours and hours of work for those who program on a daily basis.

It's already fine to use, with help of exporting/importing as PLC_Open, at least CODEX is good in editing directly at XML and/or providing changes description separately.
