Post by snhatton on How to write a for loop in ladder? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi there, little late to the party, but you could also use the ST block for in-line ST code and implement a for loop as you normally would. ST Block is super handy if you just need a small amount of in-line structured text code without creating a new POU. Hope this helps!

Post by arjunk on How to correctly create a device descriptor (.devdesc.xml) for a custom Linux ARM64 PLC in CODESYS 3.5.21.20? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, I’m evaluating CODESYS for our devices. If I buy a standard runtime and the Toolkit, can I create a custom device descriptor so users can select my device (instead of just “CODESYS Control for Linux ARM64 SL”) when starting a new project? Has anyone done this or know if it’s possible? Thanks!

Post by rene2 on How can you get the active frame index from a frame ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I think I struggle with the same issue. I tried the currentVisu variable but this is the active Visualisation. I have a dialog with a frame with frame configuration like in the picture. I would like to use the index te be used to make a button look like it's pressed/selected.

Post by snhatton on Testing of Codesys program ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
There is a tool called test manager that is part of the Professional Developer's Edition of CODESYS. I would take a look at this tool for your testing purposes. There is a free 30-day trial so you can evaluate if the tool will meet your needs before investing in the license.

Post by snhatton on OPC UA: How to change NodeId ?! ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
You can change the node id by adding the following to /etc/CODESYSControl.cfg: [CmpOPCUAProviderIecVarAccess] CustomNodeName=MyPLC123 Then restart the runtime and the new Node name will appear with the connection. I don't know if it's possible to remove the |var| from the name. I hope this helps!

Is it possible to completely deactivate CmpBlkDrvUdp? I managed to practically deactivate it by setting MaxRouters=1 in [CmpRouter], but in the log there are warnings: !!!! No router instance found to assign network interface <interface>ether 6</interface> [CmpRouter] MaxRouters=1 0.MainNet=BlkDrvTcp [CmpBlkDrvTcp] Name=BlkDrvTcp Codesys Runtime 4.10.0.0 Is there a setting in [CmpBlkDrvUdp] which would deactivate it?

Post by ph0010421 on TCP/IP client ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello TCIS_Send needs to be longer than 4 bytes because idata is 28 bytes long. There may be other ways, but I would make a UNION with string/array of bytes. Write your STRING into the AsString part then copy the AsBytes part into TCIS_Send (Elements [3] to [30]) then 252 would be in [31] (I've assumed the idata is always the same length)

Same issue here: Raspberry Pi 4 Model B HW 1.5 Regardless of the image (tried 32bit / 64bit version from Raspberry Pi Imager- all the "standard version") and with all tested Codesys Control versions (4.2.0, 4.8.0, 4.10.0) and regardless if single core / multicore / 64 bit variant.

Post by ulad on SPI Communication ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello. I created a project that uses SPI. This project is working well. I can see with an oscilloscope that the SPI pins are actually changing. But when I resave this project in the IDE and open it later in the system, I see a constant error. What do I need to fix? What am I doing wrong? Thank you.

I stopped the simulation and tried to rebuild. "Cloned Task0.task0. Priority already in use" error was shown after rebuilding. I used Build-Clean All option and rebuilt again. Now the logic started working. But I am not still sure what caused the error in first place. If somebody knows about this error, please enlighten me. Thanks svn

Post by patrick on Version 3.5.19.40 probleme bei FUN mit _to_ im Name ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Ich bin leider auch über den Fehler gestolpert, aber selbst in Version 3.5.19.50 ist dieser noch enthalten. Bis 3.5.19.20 kann ich meine Programme noch nutzen. Ab 3.5.19.30 ist der Fehler anscheinend vorhanden. Ich habe leider auch schon einen Haufen Programme mit meiner Library erstellt, somit wäre ein umbenennen nur mit sehr viel aufwand möglich.

Post by sebastian-hk on Codesys auf einen Cortex M4 lauffähig machen ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Wichtig ist zudem auch noch zu wissen, ob der Cortex M4 Prozesser für eine Codesys Laufzeit ausreicht, oder ob es einige Einbußen gibt. Hat da jemand Praxiserfahrungen sammeln können? Wie es bei Codesys steht, wird kein Betriebssystem wie Linux oder Windows bei diesem Prozessor benötigt. Somit müsste dieser performant genug sein oder sehe ich das falsch?

So none of the images from the 64bit archive work with any Codesys Control versions? I have tried the last Pi OS with every Codesys Control version and they don't work. I was wondering if there's any stable combination of versions.

Just verified the behaviour. Still is the same. It should be attached here. But I also tried the DCF-file with the axis in the lab with the real drive: The MC_Power block never goes out of busy. Had not time to investigate further, though.

Post by tvm on Cannot pass array of constant size to a function as a reference ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
maybe this would be a better approach, then you don't have to pass the constant at all. FUNCTION fun : INT VAR_IN_OUT arr: ARRAY[*] OF INT; END_VAR VAR lower: DINT; upper: DINT; END_VAR lower:= LOWER_BOUND(arr, 1); upper:= UPPER_BOUND(arr, 1); see here as well https://help.codesys.com/api-content/2/codesys/3.5.12.0/en/_cds_datatype_array/

Post by tvm on Cannot pass array of constant size to a function as a reference ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
It will be a reference, because it's a VAR_IN_OUT. it's a little weird debugging the array online. It just shows as a POINTER TO INT, and you can't actually see the array from the function side. But you can still work with it as a normal array, not a pointer.

Post by anderson on function block output ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
so it is not possible for me to use the function blocks and through them I can select the digital outputs of the PLC so that pulses and direction are output, or some function block that does this reading and in it I can program the pulse and direction outputs for the drive?

Hello, I'm having a similar issue with buttons. I want to be able to set the default color and transparency of a button. I've tried a lot of different iterations like KNewman, but to no avail. Has there been some documentation released since KNewman posted this, or is the style editor still as undocumented as ever?

Post by timvh on Sysfile inuts ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
To prevent ambiguous use of this enumeration value. Let's say another ENUM is available in your project or in another library which has an enumeration value AM_WRITE, then it is not clear which AM_WRITE you want to assign. By this qualified access to the SysFile.AM_WRITE, it is completely clear for the compiler.

Can you add a background FB block to the visualization page, and loop through this FB block when the page is in display mode. This FB block requires two more functions, one for executing when the page is displayed and the other for executing when the page is closed.

Post by fcmtw on SDO generation ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, When I'm adding a CANOpen device in my WAGO CANOpen Manager, CODESYS automaticaly generates some SDO's that I can't directly disable. From what those SDO's are generated ? I'm not finding anything about it in the EDS files. Also, is there a way to disable the automaticaly generated SDO and execute the manualy created ones ? Regards, Florian
