This works for me in Schneider Machine Expert 2.2, which is based on Codesys 3.5.19. It did not work in Machine Expert 2.1, which was based on Codesys 3.5.16. METHOD PUBLIC Method1 : INT VAR_INPUT TestVar: INT:= 5; END_VAR Method1:= TestVar; PROGRAM SR_Main VAR TestFB: TEST_FB; Var1: INT; END_VAR Var1:= TestFB.Method1();

Post by hanoues on Holding brake release ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I've tried using the SMC3_BrakeControl function block to control the brake, but unfortunately, it's not functioning as expected. Despite setting the appropriate parameters and inputs, the brake control does not operate correctly. Any insights or suggestions on resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated. STATE_MANUAL.UNLOCK_BRAKE: IF Button_release_brake THEN GVL.drum1_Control_Brake:=TRUE; FBA.T11_ContBrake.bExecute := TRUE; GVL.manual_state := STATE_MANUAL.WAIT_FOR_BRAKE_RELEASE; END_IF STATE_MANUAL.WAIT_FOR_BRAKE_RELEASE: IF FBA.T11_ContBrake.bDone THEN FBA.T11_ContBrake.bExecute := FALSE; GVL.manual_state := STATE_MANUAL.WAIT_START_BUTTON; END_IF

I am using MemCopy Function for this example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeTCT5Vyn28&t=482s It is from library WagoSysPlainMem. I want to use this for an MQTT example. However, Codesys is complaining the block does not have outputs. How to fix this?

Hi, I suppose that you are referring to the error code "SMC_FB_WASNT_CALLED_DURING_MOTION"? Starting of Softmotion version 4.15.0.0 the instance path of the function block that has not been called is logged into the device log. This might help you to identify why it has not been called.

Post by grant32 on RAMP_REAL FB is retaining my output value when i try to re use the FB ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I'm relatively new to PLC programming. I am trying to creat a ramp down function, I have an example here of what I am using. I can get the function to work, the issue is that the OUT (variable3) value is being held by the FB so after I use it once it no longer works. In this example i set variable3 to 100 and the rest is as seen, over the course of a minute it ramped down to 10 (as desired). But when I deenergize TEST_START, set variable3 back to 100, and then re-energize TEST_START it immediately jumps back to the previously held value 10. The reset on this block just pauses the function and holds the last OUT. In my case I will need the function to start OUT at a set value, ramp down to the IN (variable2) value, and then accept a new OUT value to ramp down next time the block is energized. Hopefully this made sense, if anyone has any advice that would be awesome!

Post by alexgooi on Function Blocks and arrays of function blocks ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi Jack, I think you have to look at a FB in a different way. A Function block (Class) can contain its own data. In other words don't define loose data in your GVL, but define a instance of a FB (Object) in your GVL: Example: Function_Block Basic_Class VAR_INPUT Open_Command: BOOL; END_VAR VAR_OUTPUT Opened: BOOL; END_VAR if Open_Command then Opened := TRUE; ELSE Opened := FALSE; END_IF Global Variables Objects: ARRAY[1..100] OF Basic_Class; //Here you ar defining you objects END_VAR In your code you can directly acces the data and couple it to the IO: GVL.Objects[1].Open_Command := %IX0.0; %QX0.0 := GVL.Objects[1].Opened; //To call the code itself use: GVL.Objects[1](); If you want to take this a step further you are also able to add methods and properties to the FB/Class end thereby creating a OOIP program

Post by tehthoams on Find Function: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hey, Sorry this isn't super helpful, but i had this problem once and was able to resolve it. I can't recall how I solved it and whether it was a problem with my codesys installation or the project itself. If it is the codesys installation, make sure all your required libraries and plugins are installed and available. compare with a colleagues installation if possible. I vaguely recall saving a copy of my project and deleting things one by one until the error went away...
