Can you post the new code that you have by chance? Also, are you able to send the values of tags dynamically with the RTAC in this JSON format? I'm running into a lot of road blocks with it.

Post by mp9876 on Problem using MeasureFrequence FB ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi everyone, new at Codesys and PLC programming in general. I am using Codesys Win V3.5 SP20 I would like to measure an encoder's frequency output (obtaining that pulse train from Factory IO) and intended to use the MeasureFrequence FB (Intern/CAA/Utilities/CAA Mathematics/3.5.19.0). As mentioned in the title what I need to measure is low frequency, such as lower than 40hz (a cycle every 25mS) or so; I could even go lower frequency if required as this is for test purposes) therefore I am not expecting problem measuring a low frequency with that FB The library in question appears to be installed as I can retrieve it from the Library Repository. I can also see it from the Device's Library Manager. Problem arises when I am trying to instantiate this particular FB. I go like this: VAR MeasF:MeasureFrequence; END_VAR Please note that as soon as I start typing the "MeasureFrequence", the MeasureFrequence comes out as a viable option in auto-typing; seems to indicate that the FB is recognized somehow. But there is no way I can compile this as it comes back with the following: C0046: Identifier 'MeasureFrequence' not defined. Tried to rename that to ABC instead of MeasF; same issue. Possibly that the library is not properly installed ? Placeholder ? I would greatly appreciate a bit of guidance if possible. Thank you and regards, Mike

you need to have an own task for the one wire and io update these slaves in an own low prio task!

Hi Kim, Hi eschwellinger, how you could solve the problem? I am using Codesys V3.5.19.60 and I still have the same problem. It will work only after a warm/cold restart. Thank you in advance for your kind help.

I have now and it works. I had the idea that it had something to do with codesyscontrol.cfg, but where can I find a description of all the things you can set in codesyscontrol.cfg and its syntax?

@davidking, can you be more specific about where exactly "Compiler Defines" is located. I'm using Codesys v3.5 SP21 Patch2 and cannot find this Compiler Defines option. In the menu Project -> Project Settings there are Compiler options and Compiler warnings, but that is not it.

To simplify your problem you shall not select dongle and get dongle errors. Do as shown In some cases you need 2 different licenses depending on the metrics. And yes the system gives not always give proper error messages when you try to reinstall a license

yes, but you could use a demo project in the analyzer to check other types: https://analyzer-eu.automation-server.com/help/en/tags this should work.

Hi George - ok thanks - but who created this FB in the first place? Could you lead me to the creator company? Is CODESYS not the old S3 that created this FB? :-)

Post by nixola on CmpCharDevice blocks gpiochip access on Raspberry Pi 5 since update from SP18 to SP21 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, I added the following lines to /etc/codesyscontrol/CODESYSControl_User.cfg: [CmpCharDevice] PermittedPath.0=/dev/i2c* PermittedPath.1=/dev/spidev* PermittedPath.2=/sys/class/gpio/* PermittedPath.3=/dev/gpiochip* However, I'm still unable to read or control GPIO pins from any CODESYS application. Specifically, setting the pin direction (and, thus, the IoDrvGpioSysfs driver configuration) fails, with a rather non-descript error in the logs: Description Component Setting direction failed for GPIO pin 586 IEC Update configuration failed from driver IoDrvGPIOSysfs CmpIoMgr I'm running CODESYS Control for Linux ARM64 SL version 4.21.0.0; it's running in rootless mode, as the codesyscontrol user, but said user is in the gpio group and can otherwise normally interact with GPIO, both via gpioset/gpioget and via the sysfs driver in /sys/class/gpio/. The system is a custom 64-bit Raspberry OS based distro, running on a Raspberry Pi CM5 on kernel 6.18.34 with PREEMPT_RT scheduling.

Post by timvh on CAA.File.Write – Unexpected characters when writing a CSV file ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
For sure you must use LEN(). SIZEOF() means you write a number of bytes based on the size of the variable type. For your STRING this will be 80 characters, but this will write unexpected characters in your file.
