Post by davemansell on explicit cast ENUM to UINT and vice versa ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
This is from sometime ago but below might help you could do this via POINTERS. Make sure you protect for NULL pointers etc if you take this approach. // DECLARATION myEnumValue : enumMyEnum; u8 : USINT; pmyEnumValue : POINTER TO enumMyEnum; pu8 : POINTER TO USINT; // CODE pmyEnumValue := pu8; myEnumValue := pmyEnumValue^; // dereference the pointer

I have working EtherCAT since it can be scanned for slaves, but then I'm stuck getting the information that the device isn't found in the repo. As far as I can see both revisions does however exist in the device repo. Component added in the Configfile. Anyone with some similar experiences?

Post by kporter on Removing <Empty> node in Device Tree ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I initially created a SoftMotion axis for my EtherCAT CoE drive. I wanted to change it to use SoftMotionLight so I deleted the SM node, which left an <empty> node. I created the SML device, but the <empty> node remains. How can I remove that from the tree? </empty></empty>

Thank you Pernockham, I am using Windows SoftPLC and the device is CODESYS Control Win V3 x64. In the above attached example, the file is Linux-based. This is an external add-on file in the CODESYS installer (CODESYS Control for PLCnext SL). I am trying to implement it without this add-on file.

Enabling Anonymous Login 1. Navigate to 'Device' > 'Communication Settings' > 'Device'. 2. Next, click on 'Change Runtime Security Policy'. 3. In the new window, find and check the box for 'Allow anonymous login'. After completing these steps, you should be able to communicate with the OPC UA server.

Ok, I got UTF-8 encoding working by encoding the full block character using [16#E2, 16#96, 16#88], which corresponds to U+2588 "█". Moving forward, I’ll use this for creating a QR code with Version 10-M (byte mode). This version allows up to 213 characters to be encoded.

Hello, I'm coming to you today because I'm trying to make the baudrate and the slave number dynamic. I've tried the "updateComPortSettings" method on the slave device but it doesn't work and gives the "Modbus_COM_Port" an error. Can you tell me how you got this method to work?

Post by jaspergain on SoftMotion Axes issue ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Dear, We have an issue with SoftMotion and it's licensing. We don't use SoftMotion in this project. But a SoftMotion license is required by it. The License metrics tell's us there is a -1 Axes. Is there a way to reset this? Delete this? There was a MotionControl device in the project, but we have deleted this. But it stayed at -1. Thanks for you help.

Hello, our team is able to use Raspberry Pi on CODESYS, but we purchased two peripherals that utilize I2C and we cannot figure out how to access these devices in CODESYS. But they are working using Python. Does anyone have a suggestion or an existing library that might help support this? Thank you, Jeff

Post by smartcoco on Dynamic object release issues ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Dear, When I use "__NEW" to dynamically create the object "Object_1", and assign this object "Object_1" to another object "Object_2". At this point, I use "DELETE" to release the object from "Object_2". At this time, I cannot judge whether the object has been released normally through "Object_1" (in fact, the object has been released theoretically). Thanks for you help.

Post by timvh on when going online, stuck on "Syncing file "visuelemsdatetime.tl_datetime.txt" ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I don't know the root cause... But what could help to continue when it seems to hang, is stop the CODESYS (communication) Gateway. Go to the Windows SysTray, find the icon for the Gateway and then stop it and start it again. This will interrupt the connection between CODESYS and your controller.

Hello, I think you can try to change the Connection from Multicast to Point to Point. Please also make sure your windows firewall is allowing the correct UDP ports inbound for ethernet IP. You might also need to increase the RPI, so it times out slower.

Post by strannik on Estun servo with codesys ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello dear colleagues. I have an ESTUN PRONET servo. I'm trying to control via softmotion over the CANopen bus. There is no Ethercat bus in this servo model. In another project,using Ethercat , I controlled four axes. I have problems with ESTUN PRONET servos. A DSP-402 driver mismatch is likely. I would be very grateful for your help in solving this problem.

Post by florian on Stepper Drive with Ethercat ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Codesys has a motion libraries (SoftMotion), but you need to buy a licence keys for them to work. the most basic one is SoftMotionLight. you just have to select your drive in the device view and add a SoftMotionLight CiA402 axis. then the library is added to your project. You can use the SML_* motion FBs and configure the axis now.

Hi, I'm experiencing this problem as well. Did the suggested combination resolve your issues in the end? If not, I can stop my efforts rolling back to these versions. I'm trying to get CC for RPi 4.8.0.0 installed on the device, but I can't find it after installing it through the packet manager.

Post by felipemsgarcia on Generic EtherCAT slave ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello Edwin, Thank you foryour answer but, I believe I was not very clear in my question, sorry. What I wanted to know is if there is a generic EtherCAT slave object already in CODESYS that I can use for anything, remote IO, Drives, VFD's and so on, as long as I match PDO's. Is there such an object? Thank you again!
