Post by apurv on Cannot pass array of constant size to a function as a reference ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
okay but will this pass the array by copying it or it will be a reference to original array only.

not sure on which plc you are - there might be the option with: https://forge.codesys.com/drv/sm3raspistepper/home/Home/ but it is more or less Pi restricted and need additional hardware too I guess.

Post by dkugler on Ramp function ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
The util.RAMP_INT and util.RAMP_REAL from Codesys have an input for the start value. What is the advantage of this OSCAT ramp instead of the Codesys util lib?

Thank you seoerr for your suggestion. When I implement that line, I get this error: ** [ERROR] 'OSCAT_BASIC.ARRAY_SDV' is of type FUNCTION and cannot be instantiated** Any other thoughts about instantiating these sections of the library which seem to be provided as source only?

Post by fcmtw on SDO generation ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Thanks for the answer. So yes I've enabled expert settings, and yes i've added some SDOs, but some of them who are generated are likely making a mess in the network and generated error with my device... From which library comes those 2 function blocks ?

Solved: I started from a fresh project and everything worked. I had a Function Block in the project at one point and deleted it. I think Codesys doesn't fully clean up on deletes.

Which plc type is it: Either use Automationserver to do this or save the project archives instead of projects or use the source dowload function and reopen the application from plc. So you need to chose one of them.

you try to convert a WORD with BYTE_TO_HEX directly? Using https://de.helpme-codesys.com/ lead to the SM3_shared lib. There is a function: https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/libs/SM3_Shared/Current/SM3_Shared/StringFormat/Word_To_HexString.html

yes, but you could use a demo project in the analyzer to check other types: https://analyzer-eu.automation-server.com/help/en/tags this should work.

Hi kenth1973, it is not a matter of who created the function block. It is just that we don't have, and don't provide, documentation about internal implementation details... Hope you can understand that, Georg

Post by shafiq-dsc on Beckhoff EK series cannot detect but BK1120 detect ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Dear Support, I have i950 wants to connect with Beckhoff EtherCAT coupler BK1120. There are 2 GSD files for BK1120. 1. BK1120 without MDP.(EtherCAT ESI Device Description (XML)) 2. BK1120 with MDP. (EtherCAT BKxxx (MDP) configuration files) When connecting the BK1120 with i950, scanned devices detects BK1120 without MDP from ESI No1 above. But the KL1408 & KL2408 not detect because they have ELxxxx IO type. When manually insert BK1120 with MDP, the KL1xx8 is able to add manually also but the error shows and Install Missing Descriptions appears. The questions; 1. Why the error occurs? 2. Can the i950 connect with KLxxxx IO type or not? Regards, Shafiq

Post by mark on IO link on IFM AL133x only single digital input on a channel ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I have a problem with the CODESYS IO-Link SL software. When I insert a IO link master AL1332 and plug a discrete digital input to a channel it reads only 1 of the 2 available inputs on that channel. Is there anyone who sorted out if the second input is also usable? When we configure the module without the CODESYS IO-Link SL software then the second input on the channel can be used. At the moment we use some channels on a module as IO-link port, and some as discrete IO. It would be very nice if we can use both inputs on a channel with the use of CODESYS IO-Link SL.

Post by jonasz on Discontinuity of A/B/C axis movement. ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, My problem was related to the behavior of the modulo axis, but maybe you will find something useful from what I write. The solution lies in path processing. Codesys offers a G-code analysis tool. Insert a CNC object into the project. The CNC settings object will be added automatically. By inserting appropriate processing modules into the CNC settings object and parameterizing them, you can test the behavior of the axis. When the effect is satisfactory, remember to add the module from CNC settings in the correct order in the processing path. Each CNC machine case is different. You need to spend some time to get your design tailored like an Armani suit. Good luck.
