Add the object "POU for Implicit Checks" to your application, then select "Bounds check". This will create a function which is automatically called each time an array is write accessed. In the function you can handle "out of bounds" situations. By default it will be limited to its lower or upper bound.

Could this be turned into a library? I'd love for a way to have the main program call a function block method using the program's I2C_master device. I assume I should be passing the master as a variable for the function block, but I don't see how that could be achieved

Is there any function function block which can store the persistent variable in HDD/SSD immediatley. My observation is that the persistent variable is getting stored when we shut down or restart the system (Windows+ CoDeSys RTE SL ). the persistent variables are not stored in HDD/SSD, if I power off the system without proper shutdown. Seeking your feedback.

Hi, Is it possible to know of an output of a function block is used? I've found there is a way to find unused inputs of a fb, through the attribute: is_connected. But I'm wondering if the same can be done for an output. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I wrote a function block for a controller but I have a warning code C0373 "expression or part of it has no effect" and the sub routine which contain my function block is underlined in blue. Despite, the FB works perfectly. Do you know why I have this warning ? Thanks. Pascal.

Post by hwillems on Ranges, Lambdas, on Fixed arrays of structs

I do datastructures and algorithms in Codesys. For example a Struct of Person with thing's like IdNumber, Name, Age etc. as example. Now i do all kind of calculations, filters. So i have this pretty big Fixed Array with Structs. On this struct i want to do simple stuff you can do easily in C++/Python/Rust etc. For example i want to do this: AvererageAge := Average(Peoples.Age); Then it will return the average of all members ages. Or Sort struct on age etc. Or sort on alphabetical Name. Or use Lambda functions to filter/mutate out things like, filter out everybody above 18 years old. Or remove people who it's name start with "A". Currently i have to write my own custom function for example sorting on Age. And make a super specific function based on that particulare datastructure. Here an Example: (*Before calling this FIlter method, set the mNodeFilterSwitch to the desired filter.*) CASE mNodeFilterSelect OF (********************************[ Status Filters ]***********************************) NodeID: FOR x := ACS_OUT_BEGIN TO ACS_OUT_END BY 1 DO FOR y := ACS_IN_BEGIN TO ACS_IN_END BY 1 DO IF marrNode[y].Status.oiNodeID > marrNode[y + 1].Status.oiNodeID THEN mNodeTemp := marrNode[y + 1]; marrNode[y + 1] := marrNode[y]; marrNode[y] := mNodeTemp; END_IF; END_FOR; END_FOR; Started: FOR x := DES_OUT_BEGIN TO DES_OUT_END BY -1 DO FOR y := DES_IN_BEGIN TO DES_IN_END BY -1 DO IF marrNode[y].Status.oxStarted > marrNode[y - 1].Status.oxStarted THEN mNodeTemp := marrNode[y - 1]; marrNode[y - 1] := marrNode[y]; marrNode[y] := mNodeTemp; END_IF; END_FOR; END_FOR; Starting: FOR x := DES_OUT_BEGIN TO DES_OUT_END BY -1 DO FOR y := DES_IN_BEGIN TO DES_IN_END BY -1 DO IF marrNode[y].Status.oxStarting > marrNode[y - 1].Status.oxStarting THEN mNodeTemp := marrNode[y - 1]; marrNode[y - 1] := marrNode[y]; marrNode[y] := mNodeTemp; END_IF; END_FOR; END_FOR; END_CASE; I have like 30+ of these in the enum. Not really DRY code right? These are custom made bubble sort filters in a function. You pass in the Datastructure, and say what function you want. (This is an enum collection of sorting functions) And then the Array with Nodes of Structs gets ordered. Why can't we have Iterators and Lambda's and build in standard functions like regular languages? Also i use bubble sort because it's the easiest to implement because i can't get this to code DRY. Problem with ST (Even the new one with classes) that it's very limited for programming datastructures and algorithms. Yes you still not want dynamic memory and you need to choose the correct algorithm so you know the most extreme edge cases regarding the time it takes to execute the algorithms.(Real-time execution) How are other people dealing with this? Here for example saw some software using an adjusted ST language and having FOR EACH possibility: https://www.fernhillsoftware.com/help/iec-61131/structured-text/st-for-each.html You can then build your own custom Iterator functions. I wish the IEC 61131-3 standard would be more expressive and having more standard modern features, but still keep close to the fact of no dynamics memory and real-time systems.

I was looking for a transpiler from some more widely used general programming language into ST. It was not easy but I found this :) https://forge.codesys.com/tol/c2iec/home/Home/ Does anybody use it for a programm/library of a couple of hundred lines or more? How does one go about using the output? Is there a “converter” into the Codesys IDE? PLCOpenXML? Would there be interest in this? tib0r

Is there a way to access the variable in the called dialog? Example: Text Field element with PLC_PRG.myVar as Text variable. OnMouseClick configured to write variable with keypad pop-up. OnValueChanged configured to Execute ST RND(PLC_PRG.myVar,2); Rather than change myVar with each copy of this Text Field, is there a way to access whatever the configured text variable is? Generally try to stay away from ST in visu, but was curious regardless.

Hello to all, I'm totally new to Codesys, but I do have some PLC programming experience, mosty with Siemens TIA and STEP7. I have just installed Codesys 3.5. sp19 and I have downloaded example with Ethernet Rockwell 1734AENT. The example can be found here: https://forge.codesys.com/prj/codesys-example/rockwell-1734-c/home/Home/ After opening, I had to manually update devices (Device, Ethernet, IP Scanner, EthernetIP adapter). However, when trying to build the project, I get the following errors: [WARNING] CODESYS_EtherNetIP_Rockwell1734AENT: Library Manager [Device: PLC Logic: Application]: C0100: Library System_VisuElemXYChart has not been added to the Library Manager, or no valid license could be found [WARNING] CODESYS_EtherNetIP_Rockwell1734AENT: Library Manager [Device: PLC Logic: Application]: C0100: Library system_visuinputs has not been added to the Library Manager, or no valid license could be found [ERROR] iodrvethernetip, 4.4.1.0 (3s - smart software solutions gmbh): ServiceCycle [IoDrvEtherNetIP]: C0040: Function 'ProcessUpdateConfigurationQueue' requires exactly '1' inputs [ERROR] iodrvethernetip, 4.4.1.0 (3s - smart software solutions gmbh): IoDrvStartBusCycle [IoDrvEtherNetIP]: C0040: Function 'GenerateRandomUINT' requires exactly '2' inputs [ERROR] iodrvethernetip, 4.4.1.0 (3s - smart software solutions gmbh): Cyclic [GenericServiceUnConnected]: C0040: Function 'GenerateRandomUINT' requires exactly '2' inputs [ERROR] cip object, 4.4.1.0 (3s - smart software solutions gmbh): ForwardOpenService [ConnectionManager]: C0040: Function 'GetAssemblies' requires exactly '3' inputs [ERROR] iodrvethernetipadapter, 4.4.0.0 (3s - smart software solutions gmbh): ServiceCycle [IoDrvEtherNetIPAdapter]: C0040: Function 'GenerateRandomUINT' requires exactly '2' inputs [ERROR] iodrvethernetip, 4.4.1.0 (3s - smart software solutions gmbh): SetupStructuredIOMapping [RemoteAdapter]: C0040: Function 'MallocData' requires exactly '1' inputs [ERROR] iodrvethernetip, 4.4.1.0 (3s - smart software solutions gmbh): SetupStructuredIOMapping [RemoteAdapter]: C0040: Function 'MallocData' requires exactly '1' inputs Compile complete -- 7 errors, 13 warnings Build complete -- 7 errors, 13 warnings : no download possible!

I think you want to implement client side scripting? Maybe creating HTML5 objects is an option, because the JavaScript is executed on the client side. See html5

Not sure what you mean but you can define a visu initialization program and call it once at the visu initialization step. Look in the Visualization Manager there is a possibility to define such a program.

Hello You'll need to write a proper sequence to send, then wait for confirmation, and then move on to the next step. Use the CASE statement in ST. It's perfect for creating a sequence.

To search for an exact phrase, put it in quotes. Example: "getting started docs"
To exclude a word or phrase, put a dash in front of it. Example: docs -help
To search on specific fields, use these field names instead of a general text search. You can group with AND
or OR
.
