with every call of the FB500 it keeps adding the INTs of the array to the sum variable. set sum to 0 before you start the loop.

Post by rabaggett on Reading Named Pipes in Linux Is there a better way?
CODESYS Forge

(Post)
I have a Python program that will handle things in my application such as VISA over IP and Telnet control of instruments. I want the main control and HMI in Codesys. My problem is communication between the two. I have looked at several ways to accomplish this, and settled on having the Python program create two named pipes, one to send information to Codesys, and one for Codesys to send information to Python. The information would be packetized with \n for end of packet.. Seems simple. I think the named pipes method should work, but file reading in Codesys using the CAA file library starts to get difficult when the file is never ending, as in this case. Before I spend too much time making something that may be fundamentally flawed I want to ask. Is there a better way? Is there a way to read the file 'one line at a time' which might solve my never ending file problem? Thanks!

Thank you for your answer. Finally I don't confirm that it used to work before. It seems that the IO-link Package is needed is you want to configure the network, but you don't need it if you use generic IO-link devices.

I'm having the same issue.I think it may be something related to the device adress that changes depending on the network i'm using, but now i don't have access to the one i used while setting my user. Did you find any solution for this?

your device in the device tree is Pi 64 online you have Pi MC (32bit) - update device in the device tree to Pi MC then it will work.

Post by mp9876 on Problem using MeasureFrequence FB
CODESYS Forge
talk
(Post)
Hi everyone, new at Codesys and PLC programming in general. I am using Codesys Win V3.5 SP20 I would like to measure an encoder's frequency output (obtaining that pulse train from Factory IO) and intended to use the MeasureFrequence FB (Intern/CAA/Utilities/CAA Mathematics/3.5.19.0). As mentioned in the title what I need to measure is low frequency, such as lower than 40hz (a cycle every 25mS) or so; I could even go lower frequency if required as this is for test purposes) therefore I am not expecting problem measuring a low frequency with that FB The library in question appears to be installed as I can retrieve it from the Library Repository. I can also see it from the Device's Library Manager. Problem arises when I am trying to instantiate this particular FB. I go like this: VAR MeasF:MeasureFrequence; END_VAR Please note that as soon as I start typing the "MeasureFrequence", the MeasureFrequence comes out as a viable option in auto-typing; seems to indicate that the FB is recognized somehow. But there is no way I can compile this as it comes back with the following: C0046: Identifier 'MeasureFrequence' not defined. Tried to rename that to ABC instead of MeasF; same issue. Possibly that the library is not properly installed ? Placeholder ? I would greatly appreciate a bit of guidance if possible. Thank you and regards, Mike

Hi ducng, you need to make sure that MC_Power.Status is TRUE before you give a rising edge to MC_MoveRelative.Execute. (This is the same for virtual and real axes). Best regards, Georg

Instead of using scaling of 150%, can't you adjust your diplay resolution (Windows+i keys, then go to System > Display settings)?

Do you use 32bit versions of CODESYS? Why not 64bit? And just use the installer to manage your various versions and add-ons. Optionally use separate repositories to prevent possible library conflicts.
