Post by thedertom on Help with DynamicTextGetTextW ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi I try to get korean texts out of a textlist. For that I want to use DynamicTextGetTextW, but I am a little confused how it is supposed to work. The function returns POINTER TO STRING, but how do I get WSTRING? I succesfully used DynamicTextGetText with classical Strings. Thanks in advance!

Post by davidmic on What is this ST syntax? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I found some structured text code which contained this statement: bHidden:= TRUE(*NOT _somevariable*) I haven't seen TRUE() used like a function before, and I also haven't seen the enclosing asterisks * * before. What do they do? (sorry if this is a duplicate question, I don't know what words to use to search for this syntax)

Hi if you add in (ttyAMA0 should fit to your HAT's device [SysCom] Linux.Devicefile.1=/dev/ttyAMA0 to /etc/CODESYSControl_Usr.cfg since 4.12.0.0 version /etc/codesyscontrol/CODESYSControl_Usr.cfg then access in CODESYS with Com1 should do it. Keep in mind that only adapters work (for RS485) which do determine the send/receive direction in hardware

I have a debian linux host running Control SL. I tried to manage IP-addresses through codesys/Control SL but that was not successful. What works though is manually editing the network-interfaces config file. /etc/network/interfaces. Is there a way to set this up so that IP-addresses can be managed from within codesys instead? Thanks! / Per

Post by madskaizer on Exception when OPCUA datasource disconnects from Server ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
We have similar issues, with crashing PLCs, but this ranges from 3.5.16.40 to 3.5.19.70. Which log made you confirm the exception crash? I am currently looking for evidence of what causes our PLCs to crash. Network stability could be an issue with latest security roll-outs like 802.1X and segregation.

Post by davemansell on explicit cast ENUM to UINT and vice versa ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
This is from sometime ago but below might help someone else; this could be done via POINTERS. Make sure you protect for NULL pointers etc if you take this approach. // DECLARATION myEnumValue : enumMyEnum; u8 : USINT; pmyEnumValue : POINTER TO enumMyEnum; pu8 : POINTER TO USINT; // CODE pu8 := ADR(u8); pmyEnumValue := pu8; myEnumValue := pmyEnumValue^; // dereference the pointer

Ok, I got UTF-8 encoding working by encoding the full block character using [16#E2, 16#96, 16#88], which corresponds to U+2588 "█". Moving forward, I’ll use this for creating a QR code with Version 10-M (byte mode). This version allows up to 213 characters to be encoded.

For Raspberry Pi I have made a python script which regularly read a bulk of data over the ic2 from a device. Sometimes I get an Exception an IOError. I assume similar things can happen in CODESYS. So how does CODESYS handle that? Can I get any info about such an event?

Hello dear colleagues. I have an ESTUN PRONET servo. I'm trying to control via softmotion over the CANopen bus. There is no Ethercat bus in this servo model. In another project,using Ethercat , I controlled four axes. I have problems with ESTUN PRONET servos. A DSP-402 driver mismatch is likely. I would be very grateful for your help in solving this problem.

Post by transmin01 on CANbus issue ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Update: This initial issue was when using a Linux target PLC. Since then I have created a Win10 target PC and the Codesys software reported an issue associated with the device version (see attached). I am assuming this is an incompatibility with the xml file from the manufacturer and the firmware version on the module and I am chasing this up with Beckhoff. Question is, why would this not report with a Linux target?
