Post by ophelia on Phantom Test Slot Preventing Suite Completion ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi all, I'm working with a CODESYS 3.5 unit test framework on an embedded Linux PLC and running into an issue where a phantom test slot appears in the results that never completes, preventing the full test suite from ever finishing. The symptom: A blank-named test entry appears in the results table with an ever-increasing action count. It stays as "Testing" or "Failing" indefinitely. Because it never closes, bAllFinished never goes TRUE and the final report is never generated. Question: Has anyone seen this kind of phantom slot issue in a CODESYS unit testing setup? Thanks

Post by williamcorlin on The future and proper use of CAA.BOLT, CAA.SEMA,.. ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I've been moving in the same direction. For new libraries, I'm trying to minimize dependencies on APIs that look like they're being phased out unless the documentation explicitly recommends them. For synchronization primitives like CAA.BOLT and CAA.SEMA, I'd love to see an official replacement or abstraction layer that's guaranteed to remain stable across runtimes. That would make library development much cleaner than relying on platform-specific SysLib* implementations or conditional compilation everywhere. Until there's clearer guidance, my approach has been to isolate the locking mechanism behind a small wrapper interface. If CODESYS changes the recommended API in the future, only that wrapper needs to be updated instead of every library that uses it. It isn't perfect, but it's made maintenance much easier. https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/Engineering/thread/e6c20a740e/ https://zapgames.io/

Post by timvh on HTML5 visualization controls disabled on CODESYS Control for Linux SL - overlay not supported? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I was able to reproduce this by doing something wrong. I guess what you did is first create an application for the Control Win, or some other device and then switched this to the Linux SL. But then the Visualization Manager still has the "TargetVisu" component, besides the WebVisu component. The Linux SL doesn't support this TargetVisu as part of the runtime. You should run a separate process for this. So remove the TargetVisu from the Visualization Manager and then you will be able to load the application.

Post by fless on No source code available for profinet library ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
looks like you are running in a bug in the newest version 4.4.0 of the profinet library or the new library triggers a bug in your code. did you update your profinet device too? you could try to downgrade to an older version of the library. via library manager - placeholders, double click Profinet 4.4.0 in the library column and choose an older version.

Ohhh OK. Yeah this seems to be timing like you said. Yeah I read through that document and came to the same conclusion. I haven't tried setting them both to 200ms. Maybe I'll give it a shot. Thanks so much for your input. Its greatly apreciated.

Hi, I have a Beckhoff EL6751 EtherCAT / CANopen gateway which fails on the Canbus when the CANopen_Manager is added. Currently no devices are connected to the EL6751. If I add a device, I get the same issue. If I add a device and connect the bus, I get the same issue. Is there something I am doing wrong? Regards Trevor

Hi There, For my understanding: are you trying to display the contents of a text list in an alarm message based on the id? For example, you could maintain a text list of common alarm messages, and then display based on which message is true?

Hi, Got same problem, appeared after 4.3.1.0 update. Prabably problem is in performance. I am using virtual machine, so adding one more core and several GB to RAM still not solved, but atleast did system more stable. Try optimise your main program or set less task interval. Regards, I will be your mate in solving this mistery =)

Post by timvh on Send file from codesys to...... ftp, cloud, etc ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
You can use the (open source) FTP client in Forge. This works on 64 bit systems. See: https://forge.codesys.com/prj/ftp-client/code/HEAD/tree/ As this is open, the idea is that when you use it and make improvements to the source code, that you also commit this in a branch so others can also benefit from it.

It seems that there is a limitation with the STRUCTs. Does anybody know, what’s okay to save (add to the recipe) and what’s not okay? Or is there another problem with my project? If I have only an array in the recipe definition everything works perfectly (see project).
