Copying 2 byte word to output

Post by peterkcontrols on Copying 2 byte word to output ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello. I am using codesys 3.5. I would like to know if it is possible to set a variable to an output without declaring in. I have defined a STRUCT and within this struct I have a Struct for inputs called I and a struct for outputs called O. I have declared a variable of the type of this Struct, I would like to set or alias the value in this variable to an input/output value of an IO block that has a module on the ethernet tree. Is it possible to copy the contents of %IW0 -> STRUCT.I ? The size of both of these is 2 bytes. I understand that I can declare a variable with the input like Input01 AT %IX0.0 : BOOL; However how can I make STRUCT.I.D00 AT %IX0.0? Is this possible? Thanks

Nope! The file path is $$PlcLogic$$ and NOT $$PLCLogic$$. Otherwise a new folder ('PLCLogic') is created (at least with a linux rt - like raspberry or compute module) with the new file in it if you open the file with eFileMode := FILE.MODE.MRDWR. That is a bad bug that I'll report right after this comment.

I'm new on Codesys. I need to manage a large and complex data set, which database and library you suggest to use? Some application examples will be appriciated. Thanks

In simulation mode there are no fieldbus updates possible - so this makes only sense with real devices.

use the PLClogic directory to read / write files. /var/opt/codesys/PlcLogic this is due security reasons forced to use.

Hi, I want list of all languages added in text list during runtime. I check with various object call but no luck. Can you help me with that? Note - I can not using Textlistutil, need other solution

How large and how complex? It's tough to make a recommendation without additional details. The simplest thing is to just use data arrays (or even arrays of arrays). Not knowing your requirements, it might be sufficient and the simplest option is often the best. https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Development%20System/_cds_datatype_array.html You might also look into using Recipes? https://forge.codesys.com/prj/codesys-example/recipe-manageme/home/Home/ Some more complex options below. https://forge.codesys.com/prj/codesys-example/element-collect/home/Home/ https://store.codesys.com/en/mysql-library-sl.html

Thank you, Bingo. Your idea of adding the change to the start up process works. However, I am still intrigued with the fact that SysSockSetIPAddress(strEthernetPort:= '0', strIPAddress:= '192.168.2.12') is different from PLC Shell (setipaddr 0 192.168.2.12).:-(

We have developed a similar application few years ago with .Net and MS Sql Server. The database has about 30 tables, the more bigger tables have 2 or 3 thousands records. We can have multiple threads accessing at the same time to the DB. To garantie the data integrity we need to manage data locks and transactions. Thanks

Post by pernockham on Inheritence of struct, ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Im looking for a way to define predefined version of the same structures through "extends"/inheritance. What I want to do is best shown with an example: TYPE log_item_val_type : ( BOOL_ := 0, INT_, REAL_, STRING_ ); END_TYPE TYPE LOG_DATA_BASE STRUCT val_type : log_item_val_type; (* value, name etc *) ENDSTRUCT ENDTYPE (* this/below is not possible as I understand from the compiler?? *) TYPE LOG_DATA_BOOL extends LOG_DATA_BASE : STRUCT val_type : log_item_val_type := log_item_val_type.BOOL_; END_STRUCT END_TYPE TYPE LOG_DATA_INT extends LOG_DATA_BASE : STRUCT val_type : log_item_val_type := log_item_val_type.INT_; END_STRUCT END_TYPE etc. for LOG_DATA_REAL and ..STRING. The system will not allow me to "re-define" "val_type" however. Instead I must do the work-around of defining four different types with all fields individually defined. The benefit if I could extend the base item would be that Im (more) sure the structures are identical. In usage I can call in a specific type rather use the base type and assign which type. Usage by pointer/ref to log_data_base would also be easier.. (* Usage: *) log_data : log_data_int := (name, value etc.) (* Instead of: *) log_data : log_data_base := (name, value, val_type).. Is this possible to achieve in some way that I have missed?

Easier that I thought, by ALIAS TYPE log_item_val_type : ( BOOL_ := 0, INT_, REAL_, STRING_ ); END_TYPE TYPE LOG_DATA_BASE STRUCT val_type : log_item_val_type; (* value, name etc *) ENDSTRUCT ENDTYPE TYPE LOG_DATA_BOOL : LOG_DATA_BASE := (val_type := log_item_val_type.BOOL_); END_TYPE TYPE LOG_DATA_INT : LOG_DATA_BASE := (val_type := log_item_val_type.INT_); END_TYPE TYPE LOG_DATA_REAL : LOG_DATA_BASE := (val_type := log_item_val_type.REAL_); END_TYPE TYPE LOG_DATA_STRING : LOG_DATA_BASE := (val_type := log_item_val_type.STRING_); END_TYPE

Started playing with the idea of ditching windows for linux, one of the obstacles would be Codesys development. Alternatives: - linux with wine? - Run windows/codesys through virtual machine I guess a vm is the way to go? Anyone out there that could share their experience?

Hello, I'm facing the same problem, I can access the FLIR AX Series camera through the IP converter software (go2rtc). In the CODESYS 3.5.19 patch 7 software, the streaming does not appear in the webvisu even using the URL "http://xxx.xxx.x.xxx:1984/stream.html?src=flirr". I used the "RTC" and "MJPG" modes. HW: PFC200 750-8217/600-000. FW: v27. If anyone has a solution, could you help us?

Post by clarenced on Multiple applications on one device sharing variables. ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I got this working using OPC UA. In the logic application I just added a Symbol Configuration. In the HMI application I added a Data Sources Manager and OPC UA Data Source. The one thing I don't like is the way the tags end up being named in the HMI application. In the logic application I have a program named PLC_PRG. It has a variable named testDINT. In the logic application the name I get for this variable is DeviceSet.CODESYS_Control_Win_V3_x64.Resources.Logic.Programs.PLC_PRG.testDINT. This is very long and looks like it could change if I used this on a different device type. Any ideas how I could get this name shortened down to just PLC_PRG.testDINT like it is on the Logic application?
