Hi Reinier, I'm wondering if you managed to get this FB to work? I was just trying it, and found it not to work, I get an EMCY message in the CodeSys program under the Device Status, but the FB doesn't pick up any EMCY messages from the Bus. Cheers.

Hi blitz, that usually means that the modulo period, when converted to increments, is larger than 2^31. (The bus bandwidth is usually 2^32.) What is your "technical unit", do you program in angular degrees? And what is the modulo period? If you want you can post the drive configuration (screen shot of the "General" and "Scaling/Mapping" page). Best regards, Georg

Codesys - SMC_ERROR SMC_CGR_INVALID_POSPERIOD - Invalid modulo period less than or equal to zero or greater than half the bus bandwidth. Has anyone seen this error and actually understands what it means and how to get rid of it? I tried to work around it by reducing the number of increments on the drive but then the drive itself starts throwing errors.

Hallo, ich müsste alrMin von 1 auf 0.1 und alrMax von 2 auf 9 ändern ... im Programm von Codesys funktioniert aktuell nur die Änderung des alrPWM ... den kann ich von 0 auf 0.5 beim Start setzen lassen . Wie kann ich also alrMin und Max auch beim Start ... oder fest in den Grundeinstellungen ändern?

Post by tim-roelant on Problem mit control runtime V3 und profinet ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hallo Edwin, meinst du das der control-win nicht wie SPS verwendet werden kann? Das program ist klein, und realtime brauch ich gar nicht, Es gibt im bus einem Turck inselstation mit 16 ein und ausgange, und ein MTS linearencoder, womit wir teile messen und abschneiden. Die cycluszeit reist auch nicht aus. Processorleisung bleibt unter 20%. Es geht mir darum das der profinet master in fehler geht, und nicht mehr seine telnehmer erkannen kann. Es kan passieren nach 10 minuten, aber auch nach 5 tage. Nur ein kaltstart bringt die bus wieder am laufen. (kein reconnect mochlich, auch die bus scannen functioniert nicht mehr) Wann ich aber ein ipscan durchfure mit Angryip auf der rechner sind alle telnehmer da. Ich habe noch eine andere application mit die gleiche anwendung, aber wo ein raspberry pi die SPS rolle spielt, und das functioniert einwandfrei. Soll ich fielleicht das OS von Rechenr nach linux umrusten? Der operator ist im moment sehr unzufrieden mit die "upgrade" von maschine... :-( lg Tim

Post by serwis on Dynamic target position tracking ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I am trying to control a servo drive and dynamically set its position. I control the drive via EtherCAT with a cycle time of 500us. I use the MC_MoveAbsolute block for this. The problem is that when using a PID controller, I generate the positions I want the drive to move to on an ongoing basis, and I would like the position to be set immediately. The MC_MoveAbsolute block must receive a rising edge to execute, and I would like the movement to be performed without waiting for this edge. I have created a function that generates a rising edge every 1 ms, but I am unable to change this time to 500 µs because the TON function does not support times shorter than 1 ms. Below is the code to call the rising edge: IF Exe = TRUE THEN delay1(IN:=TRUE, PT:=T#1MS); IF delay1.Q = TRUE THEN Exe := FALSE; delay1(IN:=FALSE); END_IF END_IF IF Exe = FALSE THEN delay(IN:=TRUE, PT:=T#1MS); IF delay.Q = TRUE THEN Exe := TRUE; delay(IN:=FALSE); END_IF END_IF END_IF Here is the code for calling the MC_MoveAbsolute function: MoveDegree( Axis:= Tilt, Execute:= Exe, Position:= position_target - (base_angle_real * feedforward_turn), Velocity:= vel, Acceleration:= acc, Deceleration:= dec, Jerk:= jerk, Direction:= MC_DIRECTION.shortest, BufferMode:= MC_BUFFER_MODE.Aborting, Done=> , Busy=> , Active=> , CommandAborted=> , Error=> , ErrorID=> ); I realize that there are probably better methods for performing this type of task. How can I implement motion with a dynamically changing setpoint? THANKS

Post by timvh on License problem gateway ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
What we are trying to explain is that, yes CODESYS creates the software, but Epis decides how they implement it on their hardware, which runtime version they use and they decide which functionality they support. So it is always a combination of the two. What CODESYS provides is a runtime with options for e.g. visualization or softmotion. Epis could add this softmotion license as default to their controller, but if they don't then CODESYS provides another option with a single license in a "Wibu CodeMeter" container. Eventhough the feature exists, Epis has to add this "CodeMeter" software on their controller to be able to access the licenses in the container. We don't know if they did this. Then finally it depends on what type of runtime is on this controller and which license Epis is using. So if they have an OEM license (not an application based license), then most likely you will need the Softmotion license (not a number of axis). See https://store.codesys.com/en/codesys-softmotion-sl-bundle.html. But to be sure if this is supported by the Epis controller, you must ask Epis.

Post by captaincookie on increase default string length in queue ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I'm using Codesys V3.5 SP18 Patch 4. In the ElementCollectionExample Project from Codesys, I test the SimpleQueueExample in a Control Win V3 x64 environment. I try to add a string of 95 characters length to a queue. The default length of strings is defined as 80 characters. In the initialization of a string variable, it is possible to increase the length by the definition of e.g. STRING(1000). But when I write the string defined like this to the queue, only 80 characters are written to it and the rest is missing. I think the default length is still set in the queue definition, so it is necessary to change this, isn't it? Is there any option to increase the default length of strings in the queue? Attached you can find the used project. Thanks in advance. If any information are missing or my description unclear please let me know.

I solved it by creating a new element of IElement according to the ElementExample (MyElement) in the ElementCollectionsExamples project. The variables in this element can then be defined in any properties as needed.

Post by drml on Array to String ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
If a size is not specified, CODESYS allocates 80 characters by default for a string. After 7 seconds, does your Json_string contain all of your 20000 key/values? Or is the result truncated to 80 characters?

Problem solved. The problem turned out to be the lack of access to the default location "Mounts", I changed it to /home/user1 and now it's ok.

It's not that you missed something, it's that CODESYS doesn't have this feature. I hope CODESYS can add this feature. We also hope to add function overload functionality.

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking, but I don't believe a function block with this behavior exists in the default libraries. I think the best solution would be using multiple and/or blocks or make your own function block.

Post by installwhat on Initialization of POUs (FB_Init) ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi I was wondering if there's a pattern I can employ to acheive what you're doing but with a "reference to" and also allowing for online changes? Someone told me that the new beckhoff keeps references safe during online changes but all the documentation I've found suggests that's not the case. The easiest thing is to use fb_init for normal vars and pointers and references can be added in the function body every cycle and this allows for method calls after so far as I can tell.
