5 years later: I'm also having the exact same problem! MySQL Workbench works fine across the LAN, but the codesys library cannot get past this stage... The library authors are not responding on their support email :(

Post by ron-rp on Errors with VisuUserManagement library ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi all, I've played a bit with the VisuUserManagement library, and some other security option in my project, and I started getting this error when logging in - see attached pic. something to do with a specific screen in the library - VUM_Login. Also, Codesys started to ask me to log in to the library when logging in, asking to log in as user of the groups Maintainer or Owner, which I dont know either users (attached pic). when I close the login screen and try to log in to the PLC again, everything works again until I close and open Codesys. I do use user and password to login to the PLC, and this login screen is fine I know the user and pass I setup. anyone know what did I do wrong here and how to fix it?

In order to set the placeholder to empty, open the Library Manager and click on Placeholders in the Library Manager ribbon. If you left click in the library column for CmpEventMgr Implementation, it will show you the available library versions for CmpEventMgr Implementation. To update the runtime, open the Project menu and select Project Environment. That window will show you the current version of CmpUserMgr Implementation and if there is a newer version available in the Recommended column.

Would this work? https://www.mathworks.com/hardware-support/codesys.html I'm also interested in real-world MPC and have no idea where to start. There is an exciting Python library that is also beyond my grasp: https://www.do-mpc.com/en/latest/index.html Step 1, get PhD(s). Step 2, get job in aerospace/robotics. Step 3, return 15 years later to share this knowledge?

Hi Suyash! Stick to the IDE version used to create the project, and use Library Manager to fix version mismatches. Disable auto library updates and keep a record of working versions for stability. https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/Engineering/thread/0a4c242ab9/Italian Brainrot Clicker

Post by r-niedermayer on Collapse all ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Basically, Codesys does support the Windows shortcuts: such as the " * " and " / " as well as the " + " and " - " Numpad keys to expand or collapse folders and subfolders or the element. This affects both, the objects in the device tree and the folding structures in f.e. the ST editor.

Post by patrik on Wish: CODESYSControl.cfg - again ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Really good post. I hope that it gets seen by CoDeSys staff. I often find the documentation lacking when it comes to using CoDeSys in more complex ways. If using standard "basic PLC functionality", then it's fine and functions are documented in a sufficient way. Once you go outside of that bubble then I find the documentation not enough. CODESYSControl.cfg is a good example of this. And why isn't more of this integrated in the IDE. like changing port of the webserver. Why is it hidden in this file and not accessible through the IDE. It feels like a layer of complexity purposely left in so you don't change it if you don't know what you are doing. Like the argument is if you have the know-how to find the file you have the know-how to edit it. I find the documentation lacking when it comes to more complex libraries too. Like the element collections library. there is parameters I still don't quite know what they do. I can't find any documentation about them. There is an example project to download from CoDeSys so you can see how you are supposed to set your factories up. I leave some parameters like it is in the example. Should I? I don't know. Does it work. Yes. But I could perhaps create memory leaks if I get something wrong and I don't see that until way later. In the create method of your element factory you have a function called __vfinit and you just have to accept that it works. Why can't I get insight in what it does through documentation? Don't CoDeSys want us to know how these work so we can't use them to accidentally break something? I find the error logging lacking too. I've had the CoDeSys service crash but it doesn't say why. I've seen windows noticing the crash but no error code was sent or error message. Also in my current issue where the application fails to start after power outage. I can see in the log that it fails to load retain in the application as one log entry and application failing to start as another. But why? Why does loading the retain fail? give me more information! Is it just a skill issue with me? I don't know. If it is then I'd still want CoDeSys to step up their game when it comes to documentation. I'm sorry if a lot of frustration comes though in this post. I really like the product and what I can do with it compared to other PLC brands.

Post by taywinkel on Virtual Keyboard Support on Login Page ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I am in the process of getting a visualization to work with the codesys keyboard. I created a custom keyboard which works fantastic for all input fields in the main visualization. I created a user management for my runtime, which gave me the standard blue login page. The codesys keyboard does not show up when trying to enter the usernam or password. I have tried every setting: changing the keyboard back to the standard codesys keyboard, and changing various settings on the visualization manager with no success. I can only use a physical keyboard connected to the device to enter the password. I did try removing the keyboard to no success either. I even tried creating my own login page so I could guarantee the keyboard showed up. This ended in disaster as I could not figure out the very complicated VisuUserManagement and VisuUserManagementDialog library, and documentation is contradictory or lacking. I imagine that an on screen keyboard is essential for many people's projects when using touchscreen panels, so I am wondering what others are doing. I would rather not use an external virtual keyboard (external to codesys) because this causes its own complications (I am working on a linux build with high securities).

Post by atone on Set DeviceID of an IO-Link Sensor at Runtime ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Answering to myself: is not possible according to the IFM support, this possibility has not been taken into account, although the interfaces and FBs in Codesys would apparently support it. So I ended up having to deactivate the sensor validation and the backup & restore functionality in the master and implement it in the PLC myself.

Post by sean-barton on Ambiguous namespace in library dependencies ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I am trying to install the MQTT Client SL in an existing project I have been working on for years. After adding the library to the project, and without adding any other code, upon building I get a C0180: Ambiguous namespace 'MBM' error between the memory block manager (MBM) in the NetBaseSrv dependency of the MQTT Client SL library and the memory block manager (MBM) in the CAA CanL2 dependency of the 3S CANopen stack library. I have tried: * setting "Only allow qualified access to all identifiers." in the properties for both the parent libraries. * deleting the 3S CANopen stack library. Upon (re)building the error simply points to another conflicting library - there are many. * deleting the Library Manager and rebuilding it. * adding the memory block manager library (used in the NetBaseSrv) manually and changing its namespace to MBM3S. None of the above allow me to access the MQTT library through its namespace (MQTT). Adding the memory block manager manually removes the C0180 error, but the MQTT library is not accessible - i.e. mqttClient : MQTT.MQTTClient; highlights the mqttClient as "Identifier 'MQTT.MQTTClient' not defined". Is there anything else I can try?

Post by abauza on Image Pool using in other libraries ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi im Albert, im developing libraries for my PLCs and i have some issues on visualization part. First of all I have done a library that have a image pool with a list of 4 gifs "ImagePoolErrors" (i've tested in other projects and it works) but the problem comes when i create another library that in the visualization part contains images from my image pool library, when i simulate a program that includes a instance of my second library object the visualization images dont show, any of them, i've checked all the references and tried some options of the image properties but without any difference. Here is the screenshots of the first library (that contains Image Pool) and the second library (that includes images of the image pool first library) and the visualization simulation (with the missing image gif issue). Any idea of what i forgotten in the process? If you need any detail of the library or of the project or you need the library file, ask me, thank on advance

Post by tariq on Using Hilscher CIFX Cards as EtherCAT Masters in CODESYS ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Dear Codesys Support Team, I hope this message finds you well. I am currently working on a project that involves using a Hilscher CIFX card to act as an EtherCAT master within the CODESYS environment. Despite following the available documentation and setup guides, I have encountered some challenges and require assistance to ensure proper configuration and operation. Questions: 1- Could you please confirm if the Hilscher CIFX card is supported as an EtherCAT master in CODESYS? If so, are there specific drivers or configuration files that need to be installed? 2- Are there detailed setup guides or example projects available that demonstrate the integration of Hilscher CIFX cards with CODESYS for EtherCAT communication? 3- Is there any additional software or plugins required for ensuring seamless communication between the CIFX card and the EtherCAT slaves within CODESYS? Your support and guidance on these matters would be greatly appreciated, as it is crucial for the success of our project. Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your prompt response. Best regards, TB
