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 Current examples on CODESYS help page are outdated and have a lot of errors, like "SMC_CNC_LibParams.MAX_SUBPROGRAM_NESTING_DEPTH" calls, which are not present in current version of SMC3_CNC library.

Hello, you could use any CODESYS PLC which has an EtherCAT master and the possibility to run the CODESYS Softmotion.

How do I negate an output signal from an OR gate. I have tried right click to no avail and I cannot find an propriate NEGATE box? I want to save the output from the block to an inverted variable.

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

Hi @spiritcore, Did you find a resolution to this? I'm running into a similar issue using TargetVisu when a user uses the login. It only happens sometimes, and when it does the login/logout buttons still work but the other buttons on the screen don't work.

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.

You actually can use copilot by PLCOpen XML file exporting/importing. It's fine to work with it directly (at least, the Codex do it quite well).

Post by konstantin on CAM Motion Recover after STO
CODESYS Forge
talk
(Post)
Hello Mr. Seidel, both the master and the slave axis are modulo. Basically the situation is as follows: One master cycle is 100 units. Slave's modulo length is 2000 units. In the CAM table I defined 10 master cycles on X axis - 1000 units and on the Y axis is the slave - 2000 units. Then depending on the master position 0 to 1000 units the slave's position is plotted on the Y axis - 0 to 2000 units. For example, while the master is executing the 3rd cycle i.e. above 200 units, I trigger the STO function of the slave and it stops. The master executed his cycle but the slave was stopped during the execution. How can I set the slave to continue the CAM sequence from the point where it stopped i.e. third cycle of the master? When I reset the slave error and sync again, everyrhing starts from master's 0 position. Best Regards Konstantin Kolev

Hello! I'm working with Codesys SP21 Patch 4. The project builds without any errors. When trying to upload my project to Codesys Runtime V3 x64 I get a lot of Unresolved Reference errors, all with FU- at the start and then -CLOSELAYER2, -GETBUSINFO, -GETFRAME etc. I also get a error pop-up that I should 'update device' in the project but it's not specified to which version or anything useful really.There's also not much to choose from. When I check Runtime version in the systray I get 3.5.21.40 and it's the same as I have set up in the project as the device. All information I get is that it should be clear from the errors but no useful information is provided in the errors. Do I need to install some library? I checked other posts and for different reference error and this was the answer. Thanks in advance!

Hi there, Read the above description and experienced the same: Reading coil/discrete input/input register/holding register doesn't fill the mapped I/O variable. Any suggestions? Defined (see attachment): - Ethernet (with parameters according to the used Ethernet adapter of my Windows 11 laptop) - -Modbus TCP Client - - -LOGO231 as Modbus TCP Server - - -WS242 as Modbus TCP Server (WaveShare Modbus TCP <-> RTU converter) - - - -WS242_01 as Modbus Server, COM port (slave-id 1 RTU) - - - -WS242_03 idem (slave-id 3 RTU) - - - -WS242_11 idem (slave-id 11 RTU) Writing coil/holding register works from a mapped I/O variable works fine. Verification of Modbus traffic with WireShark: QUERY to and the RESPONSE of all slave-ids are correct Status of all defined is CONNECTED, RESPONSE_SUCCESS, RUNNING etc. Request counters increase with expected frequency. Error counter = 0. (To have all counters works fine I had to change Modbus TCP Client's parameter OptimizationON to FALSE). LOGO231 works fine: values in mapped I/O conform expectation WS242 without Modbus Server, COM port and with defined channels (for only 1 slave-id possible) works fine. PLC Settings: Update I/O while in stop: I see xBusy changing from FALSE to TRUE and vice versa. Always update variables: Enabled 1

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.
