Post by rmaas on Strange Behavior on Raspberry Pi ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, what you are seeing is not strange behavior. The problem is that everyting is happening in the same program cycle. After the variable Stepnumber is changed from 10 to 20 for example then you want the program to wait with the next EQ until the next program cycle. Else every EQ will be be true because in every line the variable Stepnumber is increased. When the program arrives (still in the same cycle) at the line with the timer, the Stepnumber has been increased to 30 in the meantime and the timer will allway be ON because even though the variable is written to 10 in this line in the next cycle it starts with 10 and will be 30 again before reaching the timer in line 8. Not very good at explaining stuff but i hope you get the problem. See screenshot below for an example of one way you could solve this...

Can you post the new code that you have by chance? Also, are you able to send the values of tags dynamically with the RTAC in this JSON format? I'm running into a lot of road blocks with it.

you need to have an own task for the one wire and io update these slaves in an own low prio task!

yes sure. Thx for your support! This is the Codesys project stripped down only to my EtherCat and OneWire Configuration. The Project now contains only one OneWire Master on GPIO4.

the project has only one OneWire Master - so if you add the setting "PlaceholderFilePath.2=/sys/devices/w1_bus_master2, $OneWire2$ to the config file it will fail and the Ethercat task will be blocked by the OneWire Master readings?

Could you check the taskcycle time in the taskmonitor (online monitor) - do you really see this 1s on Ethercat Task? Need to check this on my hardware but will take some time...

Hi Kim, Hi eschwellinger, how you could solve the problem? I am using Codesys V3.5.19.60 and I still have the same problem. It will work only after a warm/cold restart. Thank you in advance for your kind help.

Post by farren on How to stay in a method until something is finished. ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I know I'm thinking about this wrong -- too many decades of procedural and event-driven programming and only a few months of PLC ST programming...... I've created a visualization with a button that when pushed calls a method. I want the method to take a pressure reading, wait one minute and then take another pressure reading. I'm looking for leaks. I'm using TON for the delay. It seems like what is happening is that the method gets called once and it takes the first reading and starts the TON. But then execution continues, leaves that method call, and the second reading never happens. I can force the method to keep running until the whole thing is done with a While loop, but I understand that is considered BAD in PLC programming. If it push the button again to call the method again, it picks up where it left off and if the timer is complete then it runs the remaining code. How do I keep that method running until it is complete with just one call without using a while loop that ties up the PLC for a minute? Thanks! -Farren

Hi ducng, please make sure to call all Motion-FBs in the EtherCAT task. In your case, the PLC_PRG should be below the EtherCAT task, not the MainTask. Best regards, Georg

Maybe check: - The library manager, are you maybe missing some libraries - Tools - CODESYS installer: update the CODESYS Visualization and Visualization support - Project - Project environment: maybe you need to update the visualization profile
