Post by winki on Error in licence activation ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I think I understand: On my debian gateway I have done: sudo cmu --list cmu - CodeMeter Universal Support Tool. Version 8.30a of 2025-May-06 (Build 6885) for Linux/ARMHF 64-Bit Copyright (C) 2007-2025 by WIBU-SYSTEMS AG. All rights reserved. List all locally connected CmContainers: - CmContainer with Serial Number 130-XXXXXXXX and version 3.00 (empty) - CmContainer with Serial Number 130-XXXXXXXX and version 3.00 (locked) Result: 2 CmContainer(s) listed. The licence has been activated with a computer Name, but the guy who did it make a mistake in the name, so he changed it after to have activate the licence. I think this has created a second container. The licence is actived on the other container.

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?

I still have the same problem with Codesys 3.5 SP18. Initially, my project is ~5 Mo. I work on it for like 3-4 days and it goes up to ~10Mo. If I make an export of the project and import it in a new empty project, it goes back to approximately 5 Mo. Why is it doing this ?

Hi everyone, is it possible to use selfsigned/created certificates (eg. with X - Certificate and Key Management) as a OPC UA Server certificate in the Security Screen? As far as I know I can only upload client certificates to the PLC and move it to "Trusted", "Untrusted" and "Quarantined". Same question is on sps-forum.de

Post by snhatton on Retain memory change to ZERO ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I think more information is needed to help solve the issue. Can you list the exact steps to reproduce the issue? What version of Codesys are you using? Did you add a persistentVars object to your project? I would recommend browsing all instances of the retain variable to see all possible writes to the variable in question.

Post by i-campbell on Official MQTT-Client: MAX_RECEIVE_BUFFER_SIZE_EXCEEDED ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I can't answer why it's not resetting, but from the description of g_udiMaxReceiveBufferSize, I would guess the sum of sizes of the mqtt packets received in one cycle exceeded this value. So the answer may be to increase that parameter. https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/libs/MQTT%20Client%20SL/Current/MQTT-Client/Common/Params/MQTTParam.html https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Development%20System/_cds_dlg_library_parameter.html

You need to create an array with one element for each possible user. I usually define these arrays in the root screen.

Hallo zusammen, seit dem Update des Packages Codesys LB/FBD von Version 4.2.0.0 auf 4.3.0.0 bekomme ich beim compilieren folgende Fehlermeldung (siehe Screenshots). Hat jemand eine Idee was die Ursache sein könnte? Der rechte Baustein ist eigentlich ein FB aber die Instanz wird beim compilieren einfach entfernt. Edit: Wenn ich die Ausführung des rechten Bausteins in einem Execute mache, dann wird fehlerfrei compiliert.
