One option could be to use a trigger variable to execute your trace and then toggle that variable from a step within a test case.

Hi I set up my WAGO PFC200 controller and am unable to connect to the processor. Gateway is set to local host. I can connect to the unit with the WAGO Web Based management but not with Codesys V3.5 SP18.5. Any suggestion?

You could try using the VUM_UserGroup struct from the VisuUserManagement library. I haven't tried this, but there is a variable for tAutoLogout to set the logout time.

Hi, i guess you want to make a hour counter. You need to store the measured value. Try to use a retain variable, but need a graceful shutdown, or save it your self. see https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/Runtime/thread/278e325579/ Succes.

A task in CODESYS normally is a task of the underlying operating system. If your os is preemptive and the sheduler is configured accordingly a CODESYS task will be preemptive too.

Thanks everyone for your input, I am using persistent variables to retain the timer value after machine shutdown, and main task to be as low as possible for the seconds TON to be accurate.

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.
