Post by etalp on Eaton XC303 firmware update via USB ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, I'm struggling with updating my xc303 to firmware 3.5.17. It is possible only via USB port. I've installed proper update files on the USB then plug it into the PLC's USB port and restarted the device. Shortly after LED's on the PLC started to blink, so updating process has started. But after 10 minutes the PLC LED turned off and after all I could't serach for this PLC in Codesys, but could ping it. Could someone eplain to me proper procedure of updating the fimrware in XC303 via USB? Is it neccesary to STOP the PLC switch after pluging the USB?

Hallo, ich bin Anfänger mit Codesys und Programm in ST. Wir haben FTS-Fahrzeuge die mit einer Wago-Steuerung ausgerüstet sind. Dies wurde von einer Firma vor Jahren programmiert. Die Firma ist nicht mehr erreichbar und nun sollen wir als Instandhalter diese FTS´en mit betreuen. Da wir aber nur Siemens benutzen(TIA, S7 und S5) haben wir keine Ahnung von der Steuerung. Ich wollte eigentlich nur Online gehen aber Codesys übersetzt das Offline Prg. und meckert das die nicht in Ordnung ist.

Post by gseidel on Can't get SMC_SmoothPath to work ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi bertus, I cannot see any problem in the code you posted. Just some ideas: What is the value of D_ANGLE_TOL? - Do you need the assignment bAbort := NOT bDecoder? Does it help to leave it out? Any errors (e.g. SMC_SmoothPath.Error/ErrorID) or PLC log messages? What if you comment out SMC_SmoothMerge and SMC_LimtiDynamics, is corner smoothing still not working? Is bDecode written from a different task (e.g. visu)? Then I would recommend to assign to a local variable (bDecodeLocal := bDecode) and use that for all FBs. Otherwise, FBs might see different values of bDecode in a single cycle, which will cause problems. Regards, Georg

Post by jp0951269346 on How to reset forgotten User Management / Administrator password on CODESYS Control Win V3 (V3.5 SP22 Patch 2)? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi everyone, I forgot the Administrator credentials for my local Soft PLC (CODESYS Control Win V3x64) running on CODESYS V3.5 SP22 Patch 2 (Windows 11). When I try to login/connect to the device, it asks for the Device User Management username and password. I checked the CODESYSControl.cfg file, which points the working directory to: Windows.WorkingDirectory=%APPDATA%\CODESYS\CODESYSControlWinV3x64\905D4E32 However, I cannot locate the actual database/credentials files in AppData or ProgramData to clear them, and resetting the runtime directory doesn't seem to clear the authentication prompt. Could anyone please advise the correct steps to completely reset or wipe the User Management credentials for the Control Win V3.5 SP22 runtime? Thank you in advance!

Good afternoon Please help with localizing the error. Periodically, but on the same time grid, the error SysEthernet: packet could not be sent occurs. PLC and motors from XINJE. PLC — XSA-330L, rev. 1.2, drivers — DC5C2 (rev.5) In the task configurator, all tasks are set to simple numbers (11, 13, 41 ms) for convenience. The jitter for EtherCat and SoftMotion tasks is less than the task cycle (2 ms jitter for a 6 ms task). The power supply is sufficient for both the PLC and the motors. The cables are in good condition. Please suggest where to look for the problem. P.S. The PLC uses proprietary Linux and there is no SSH access.

Post by pernockham on Images not shown in webvisu ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Two issues. Ive been struggling to get the user management the way I want it. I want to protect the device from unauthorized upload/download, but I do not want login requirement on webvisu. The combination that seems to work is to use "runtime device user management" while keeping the visu user management in "legacy mode"? Initially this seemed to work, but now images are not loaded when using direct access, while they are still shown if I access the webpage via Automation server. Im guessing its connected to the authorization changes? Anyone able to help out? Thanks Also, I read that legacy mode should be avoided, is it possible to use "runtime based visu user management" while keeping direct access to the webpage without login. System is a "Control for linux SL, version 4.20.0.0" Per

Post by phuvutran on CODESYS Date/Time Picker in Dialog does not update value on close (focus issue) – any workaround? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi everyone, I am working with CODESYS 3.5.21 and using the Date/Time Picker inside a dialog (popup visualization). I noticed a behavior that seems problematic: The Date/Time Picker does NOT update the bound variable immediately. It only updates when the control loses focus/select. This causes an issue in my dialog: User selects a new date/time Immediately presses OK (which closes the dialog) The new value is NOT saved The variable still contains the old value So it seems the Date/Time Picker still holds the value internally and does not commit it before the dialog is closed.

Hello, I am currently using Codesys Control RTE Softmotion V3 to control my servo-drives in CAN, EtherCAT and PROFINET IRT. I am using a PC with Windows 10 with the following boards: - PEAK-CAN PCIe board (for CAN and Softmotion); - Hilscher CifX with firmware 3.X and SysDrv3s driver (for PROFINET IRT); - Realteak standard NIC (for EtherCAT). I would like to switch to Linux (Debian), because this computer is old, slow, and outdated (Windows 11 is far from being compatible with this computer). Before doing this, I would like to be sure of the compatility between my 3 boards and Codesys Control Linux SL. Otherwize, I will stay on Windows 10 and use it in an isolated environnement. Thanks for your advices. Regards,

Post by hluecke on Codesys Virtual Safe Control startet nicht (mehr) ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hallo, ich versuche seit einiger Zeit eine virtuelle Codesys Control für Linux in Verbindung mit einer Virtual Safe Control ans Laufen zu bringen. Seit zwei Tagen, ohne dass eine Änderung gemacht wurde (auch keine Betriebssystem Updates), startet die Safe Control gar nicht mehr und ich erhalte die Fehlermeldung "Eine Ausnahme vom Typ "CODESYS.VirtualPlcCommunicator.VirtualApiException" wurde ausgelöst". Wenn man in den Operationen die VPLC manuell startet, wird sie als laufend angezeigt, bis man aktualisiert. Ich habe die Packages schon neu installiert und auf die aktuellste Version upgedated, keine Änderung. Ein Log lässt sich nicht abrufen. Hat jemand Erfahrung, was dieser Fehler bedeutet und wie man ihn beheben kann?

Post by timvh on EXCEPTION [watchdog] how to find position cause ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Monitor what your current cycle time is (in the Task Configuration when you are online). If this is sometimes close to 200ms, then change your code (e.g. limit the loops, or prevent copying a lot of data between objects). Or just set the Watchdog time (or sensitivity) higher if you don't care that it sometimes takes longer than 200ms. If you want to find out which objects in your application consume the most time, then buy a PDE (Professional Developer Edition) license. With this you get a license for the Profiler. This can help you a lot to find the root cause, because it will create a nice overview of all objects, their calls and the time (percentage) it takes to execute it.

Post by husarz17 on How change Unity-ID in TCP Modbus Slave ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
My codesys is 3.5.21.30. I am using function ModbusServer from library ModbusTCP_Slave. The reason is that I need share 9000 Holding registers. By standard configuration it is only 4096. fbMbTcpDevice: ModbusTCP_Slave.ModbusServer; fbMbTcpDevice( wPort := 502, pInputData := ADR(awInputReg), pOutputData := ADR(awHoldingReg), uiInputDataSize := 10, uiOutputDataSize := 9000, xEnable := TRUE, tTimeout := 10000, InterfaceName := "eth0", xBusy => xBusy, xError => xError, byClientConnections => byConnections ); Ethernet port is cofigured: Network interface: eth0 IP address: 10.10.22.55 Subnet maskL 255.255.255.0 Default gateway: 0.0.0.0 And it only works when I am reading registers with ID 255 by Modbus Poll. Any other IDs don't work. The actual TCP client device try to read registers with ID 1 and I can't change it... Thanks in advance for your help!

Post by egr99 on Modbus TCP Server connection is ESTABLISHED but all holding registers are value 0? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
You're absolutely right. Sorry for that. In the meantime I wrote a Function block to handle the reads and writes to the different attached RTU-devices. It processes the parameter like (str_Modbus:=(usiSlave:=1, uiFC:=5, uiLEN:=1, uiOFFSET:=0, uiInterval:=500)) and the corresponding output, waits for the response and processes next request in a 5-state procedure. It's working for 2 gateways (stable without errors, although error recovery is included). But nevertheless it should be possible with the Channel definitions of Codesys. Much easier to maintain :)

Post by williamcorlin on The future and proper use of CAA.BOLT, CAA.SEMA,.. ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I've been moving in the same direction. For new libraries, I'm trying to minimize dependencies on APIs that look like they're being phased out unless the documentation explicitly recommends them. For synchronization primitives like CAA.BOLT and CAA.SEMA, I'd love to see an official replacement or abstraction layer that's guaranteed to remain stable across runtimes. That would make library development much cleaner than relying on platform-specific SysLib* implementations or conditional compilation everywhere. Until there's clearer guidance, my approach has been to isolate the locking mechanism behind a small wrapper interface. If CODESYS changes the recommended API in the future, only that wrapper needs to be updated instead of every library that uses it. It isn't perfect, but it's made maintenance much easier. https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/Engineering/thread/e6c20a740e/ https://zapgames.io/

Post by dmb-fan on Nach "Alles Bereinigen" viele unklare Fehler, aber nur in Schrittketten ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Mit viele ausprobieren habe ich es einkreisen können: Es scheint NICHT mit einer Variablen Deklaration zusammenzuhängen. Wenn ich einen Parallel-Zweig lösche ist der Fehler für den betroffenen Baustein weg. Nur ein einzelne Step ohen Aktion reicht für den Fehler. Schritt löschen reicht nicht. Zweig löschen und Schritt neu mache: Fehler scheint weg zu sein.... Da ich das öfters und in größeren Bausteinen habe, möchte ich es vermeiden es händisch zu löschen und neu zu erstellen. (Speziell mit dem komischen Editor..) Ist das eine Compiler Fehler? Gibt es sowas wie ein "Datenbank bereinigen" / ReOrganisieren? Sonstige Tipps? PS: Ist die 64-Bit Version. PSS: Auf ersten Blick scheint es mit der 32 Bit Version zu klappen...??

Post by jebu on OPC UA method calls ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I'm setting up an OPC UA server in CODESYS. My understanding so far: Calling methods over OPC UA requires an Information Model — the plain Symbol Set / Symbol Configuration alone doesn't support method calls. Is that correct, or is there a way around it? With an Information Model, the Node IDs are auto-generated and I can't set them manually. Assuming that's right: -Are these generated Node IDs stable across builds/downloads, or can they change? -If they can change, what triggers it — renaming a variable/method, reordering objects in the model, a rebuild, a re-download to the PLC?
