Hi kalmeyer, I would recommend to have a look at these examples. They come with a project and a description: https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20SoftMotion/_sm_basic_examples_single_axis.html. Best regards, Georg

yes, but you could use a demo project in the analyzer to check other types: https://analyzer-eu.automation-server.com/help/en/tags this should work.

Post by mbart on VAR_INFO from inside of a FB to get info on the instance. ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I experienced the same problem: using __VARINFO is working only in PRG context, while it crashes if used inside Function Blocks. I would really appreciate if they would fix this issue

Hi George - ok thanks - but who created this FB in the first place? Could you lead me to the creator company? Is CODESYS not the old S3 that created this FB? :-)

Post by blitz on Can't get SMC_SmoothPath to work ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
So in my case the solution was that I had both smooth path and round path in the code. Both blocks had their own buffer and seemed completely separate but still triggering Execute on both caused the mentioned problems. When I blocked Execute the problems disappeared.

Post by dhumphries on codesys installer deletes itself instead of updating ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I've installed multiple versions of codesys from a download, both the .exe and .zip, the installation goes okay but when I open the codesys installer with admin privelages it immediately starts downloading an update, then starts to install the update, but it doesn't complete the installation, it just deletes the installer files in c:\program files (x86)\codesys\apinstaller and never installs a new version. I've ran a repair from the downloaded installer and I can get it to work as long as I don't give admin permissions. I've done this on my workstation, I've also setup 2 different virtual machines thinking maybe there is some lingering config file, it does it no matter how sanitized the OS is. I've tried running with security software disabled and enabled, it's the same no matter what. It's been probably 4 months since I used the codesys installer, but it didn't do this back then. Is there a way to set the installer to a certain version and disable updates, or something I can do so the update does what it should?

Under Application->"Task Configuration" you can find your task double click on that and you will see a fane to the right. You find the watchdog enable switch it off or increase the time

Post by tjacks on Opc UA Data Source Client Browse Error in Codesys HMI ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Codesys V3.5 SP21 Patch 3 Codesys HMI 3.5.21.30 I'm trying to connect to an OPC UA server on a Kuka robot controller using Codesys HMI's data source manager. I get through the login phase and the client browses most of the data structure on the server but errors out toward the end with a generic: Error while browsing the client, Failed with service result: BadUnexpectedError. If I complete the data source setup and try to update variables, I get the attached stack trace for the error. I've tried several different endpoint and security options. Most get me through the login but all error out while browsing. UA Expert happily connects and browses with the same configuration. I've connected this same version of Codesys to TwinCAT OPC UA servers and Siemens PLC OPC UA servers. Any ideas on what may be causing the generic BadUnexpectedError during OPC UA server browse?

Post by jv-certhon on Io driver Scan functionality ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, Codesys IDE is 3.5.21.30 IoDrvBase is: 3.5.17.8 I am working on implementing Codesys on our I/O product line, using the IO driver examples, and the Linux UDS socket approach. I have sucessfully created an implemetation where I have a Device with mutiple slots, on which I can plug modules. These modules represent our IO modules, and communication is successful. (For this question the assumtion can be made that Codesys commucates with 1 'master' device, which handles further communcation with the IO modules. For the next part of the question it can be assumed that the Master device has a list of which modules are attached/available) I'm now trying to implement the 'Scan for Devices...' feature, but I'm completetly lost on what to do once the IoDrvScanModules method is called in my IoDrvFB. I'm guessing that the ppConnectorList has to be filled with the found devices, but I have no idea if that is the correct approach. And Codesys is not triggering my breakpoints in the method, which makes things more difficult. I hope someone could provide some examples or guidance on what steps I should take to implement the scan feature. Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to do non-formal invocation of function blocks in CODESYS? I get an error when I try, see the attached pic. Also attached a pic from IEC 61131-3 describing non-formal invocations.

No that is not possible for function blocks, although it is possible to that with methods and functions as you see in your second pic.

Hi @spiritcore, Did you find a resolution to this? I'm running into a similar issue using TargetVisu when a user uses the login. It only happens sometimes, and when it does the login/logout buttons still work but the other buttons on the screen don't work.

Post by timvh on Alarmmanagement – Dynamic Alarm List ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Probably best to create an alarm template for your motor function block. Then automatically the alarm manager can be filled with all the alarms for all instances of the motor function blocks (based on the created alarm template). See: https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Visualization/_cds_obj_alarm_group_template.html
