Post by pernockham on How to recognize licenses SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE by CmpCodemeter
CODESYS Forge
talk
(Post)
Im trying to read out active license by CmpCodeMeter but am not sure of the combination of ProductCode and FeatureMap that each of CONTROL, VISU and COM / SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE equals. Started by trying CodeMGetContentByFirmcode (and productCode) expecting error 18 / Not Available if asking for a higher level of license compared to what I know is active, but function just returned the requested productcode and a featuremap Is this the way or is it better to use CodeMOpen? Which seems to also require a featureCode. Where can I find info on required featureCode? ProductCodes according to google: Control (PLC Runtime) Small (S) 16#00002FFF 12287 * Medium (M) 16#00003000 12288 Large (L) 16#00003001 12289 Visualization (WebVisu) Small (S) 16#00003002 12290 Medium (M) 16#00003010 12304 * Large (L) 16#00003003 12291 Communication (Com) * Small (S) 16#00003004 12292 Medium (M) 16#00003005 12293 Large (L) 16#00003006 12294 Thanks!

Hello, I have the same issue β some libraries arenβt 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 Current examples on CODESYS help page are outdated and have a lot of errors, like "SMC_CNC_LibParams.MAX_SUBPROGRAM_NESTING_DEPTH" calls, which are not present in current version of SMC3_CNC library.

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.

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).

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.
