Hi everybody, I want to execute more than once cam fb simultaneously so blending cam and thus blending velocity without stop motion. But as far I know codesys dont support directly cam blending. But I beleeive there is a some solving. I request your support. But there is important thing is I want to change cam table cam on the fly. For example FlyingSaw application change cutting lenght.

Good day, I am attempting to use a Waveshare AD/DA precision HAT with RPi 4B+, using Codesys Control for Rpi. The waveshare hat uses SPI. I am successfully using the RPi GPIO (inputs and outputs) but do not know how to access the AD/DA channels. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I 've just started a new project. Translating SoMachine (SCHNEIDER) to CODESYS 3.5.18//DEMO (EATON XC303) I succeed (I think so) to copy FB, STRUCT,... and I also integrated old library. When I build F11, I have a first problem : - Adress out of rang - Overlay It's strange, usually %ML100 > %MB800 Here ONLINE: %ML100 > %MB100 !! I don't understand why ? And idea ? Thanks

Post by wagokurt on CODESYS Visualization M License Fails to activate on Linux SL <sup>CODESYS Forge talk (Post)</sup>
The fix for this is when you install the control SL license, there is a checkbox for the Visu S license option. You must click this option. The Visu M is technically an upgrade to the Visu S, if this is license is not installed them the Visu M will fail as shown above. Thanks JoJo for the solution!

Change the actual time of your PLC. How to do this sometimes depends on the PLC you use. Please contact the vendor of the PLC to get this information. Or see the following example for using CODESYS date and time functions: https://forge.codesys.com/prj/codesys-example/date-and-time/home/Home/

Is there a way to have both a Public No Login Screens with Screens that do require login and File Transfer? My Idea is to have the default page be View Only with a Login Button in the Corner and then Once Logged In you can change settings and download files depending on your user group.

I have working EtherCAT since it can be scanned for slaves, but then I'm stuck getting the information that the device isn't found in the repo. As far as I can see both revisions does however exist in the device repo. Component added in the Configfile. Anyone with some similar experiences?

I initially created a SoftMotion axis for my EtherCAT CoE drive. I wanted to change it to use SoftMotionLight so I deleted the SM node, which left an <empty> node. I created the SML device, but the <empty> node remains. How can I remove that from the tree? </empty></empty>

For reference, it was just me being unfamiliar with EtherCAT in CoDeSys. Anyone with knowledge who would have opened the ScanResult screenshot would have identified that the preceding EK1100 was the device missing in the library. Bottom line - Do something else for a while and then get back at it with fresh eyes!

Gateway and runtime (Control for linux SL) on a debian linux. Thanks for your check. Good to know. I will probably travel there in about a months time so that will give me better possibility for further testing.

I think I struggle with the same issue. I tried the currentVisu variable but this is the active Visualisation. I have a dialog with a frame with frame configuration like in the picture. I would like to use the index te be used to make a button look like it's pressed/selected.

Post by ph0010421 on TCP/IP client <sup>CODESYS Forge talk (Post)</sup>
Hello TCIS_Send needs to be longer than 4 bytes because idata is 28 bytes long. There may be other ways, but I would make a UNION with string/array of bytes. Write your STRING into the AsString part then copy the AsBytes part into TCIS_Send (Elements [3] to [30]) then 252 would be in [31] (I've assumed the idata is always the same length)

Post by dhumphries on IO link on IFM AL133x only single digital input on a channel <sup>CODESYS Forge talk (Post)</sup>
Try changing the port mode to digital input for each port you want to have 2 inputs in the connection settings for the device. I've successfully used ports for inputs on an AL1920 this way, I think the procedure should be the same for an AL1332.

Post by tvm on Cannot pass array of constant size to a function as a reference <sup>CODESYS Forge talk (Post)</sup>
maybe this would be a better approach, then you don't have to pass the constant at all. FUNCTION fun : INT VAR_IN_OUT arr: ARRAY[*] OF INT; END_VAR VAR lower: DINT; upper: DINT; END_VAR lower:= LOWER_BOUND(arr, 1); upper:= UPPER_BOUND(arr, 1); see here as well https://help.codesys.com/api-content/2/codesys/3.5.12.0/en/_cds_datatype_array/

Post by tvm on Cannot pass array of constant size to a function as a reference <sup>CODESYS Forge talk (Post)</sup>
It will be a reference, because it's a VAR_IN_OUT. it's a little weird debugging the array online. It just shows as a POINTER TO INT, and you can't actually see the array from the function side. But you can still work with it as a normal array, not a pointer.

Hi, I have got a solution. Go to local disk C. (There will be an option View on top. Click View>Show>hidden items.) go to following path:C:\ProgramData\CODESYS\CODESYSControlWinV3x64 there will be one or two files. delete it and run control win again. issue will be resolved.

Post by masmith1553 on SDO generation <sup>CODESYS Forge talk (Post)</sup>
If you add any device to the CANOpen Manager it will send messages to verify the device is on the network. Do you have the Enable expert settings check box checked in the General tab? have you added any SDOs in the SDOs tab? I avoid using the CANOpen Manager and just use the CAN_Tx and CAN_Rx blocks from the library.

The "remove unused" parameters have been added to 1.0 version as well as the "manual" removal of pins... also allowed "empty" inputs for blocks is in and the compile error described there should no longer occurs. Drag drop of variables is not yet implemented and I don't think the double-click feature yet either.

Today I was struggling with the same problem. in search for a solution i found this thread. Then i tried some things. It doesn't seem to be just a libraries' fault. In addition to 3.5.19, we also have a 3.5.18 version installed, the library versions of Modbus_TCP_Master and Modbus_TCP_Slave are the same, but more than 10 slave channels can be added in 3.5.18
