should work, but meanwhile due security reason only readings allowed in /var/opt/codesys/PlcLogic directory /dev/input/event1 need then to be added in config file

Post by rickj on Defining local variables that can be independent with several users. ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
You need to create an array with one element for each possible user. I usually define these arrays in the root screen. FrameIndex : Array [0..MaxUsers] OF INT; Then use the global CurrentClientId (defined by one of the VISU libraries) to index the array element used to select the frame. FrameIndex[CurrentClientId]

Post by thomas-moba on "sudo"-Befehle über die Funktion "SysProcessExecuteCommand2" ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Wir haben jetzt so ziemlich alles probiert. Ohne sudo mit sudo, den Aufruf in ein Script gepackt (.sh und .py) und sogar ein eigenes kleines Linux-Programm geschrieben, weil wir vermuteten das der sudo-Befehl nicht im Klartext ausgeführt werden darf. Es funktioniert einfach nicht. Daher dir Frage: muss die codesyscontrol als root ausgeführt werden? Momentan wird sie als user ausgeführt.

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.

Post by westcountryewe on ac_persistence not working when creating a Boot Application but works with a Direct Download to the PLC ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I am using V3.5 SP18 Patch 5. I have noticed that when I Create a Boot Application from CODESYS, and upload this to my PLC via a USB stick the AC_Persistence does not work and none of my values that are in my PersistenceChannel are retained. However, if I connect direct to my PLC and I perform a direct download of my CODESYS program, my values that are in my PersistenceChannel are retained and work as they should. This makes me wonder if there are files that are missing when a Boot Application is created. I have tried taking a backup of my configuration files after performing a direct download, which gives me the plclog.zip folder, and appears to have the ac_persistence folder present within the file structure, however when I replace the plclogic.zip with the same folder that was created when I created a Boot Application, it still does not work but I wonder whether this is because the ac_persistence folder isn't stored in the correct location for reading. The .app and .crc files are embedded within the plclogic.zip folder, which obviously when uploading need to be standalone files in the root directory of the USB, so the intention there is clearly to extract the .app and .crc files and put them into the correct location within the USB. I wonder if it could be the same for the ac_persistence folder? I have tried moving it to different locations but none have worked. Has anybody else discovered a fix for this? I know the short-term solution is to do a direct download to the PLC but there are some logistical reasons why this isn't neccesarily the best solution for us.

Post by jtebokkel on Access to the path *** is denied ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I am also having this issue. It was working fine for the first 2ish months and is now throwing this error. I can just try and go online again a second time and it works. I'm wondering if there is an environmental variable or something that isn't set that is causing it to use an empty path as a temp directory. The empty path will be the location the app is running from which is that path C:\Program Files\CODESYS 3.5.19.50\CODESYS\Common. The permissions don't allow a normal user to write to that directory which causes the error. It also only seems to happen when there are changes or the build has been cleaned.

Thanks for info... However, I changed the directory to: C:\ProgramData\CODESYS\CODESYSControlWinV3x64\58719825\PlcLogic\Recipes It still displays the content of this folder OK, however still will not write or read files. Is this the PLCLogic area you speak of? I also tried adding this path the the CodesysControl.cfg file. But still can't get it to work. Any additional direction would be appreciated!

Hello Check: on the latest version the location change: If the PLC is started with the "CODESYS Control Win SysTray PLC Control", it runs in the Windows user account "LocalSystem" and therefore the effective working directory is "C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\CODESYS\" or "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\CODESYS\". An administrator account is required to access these folders

Post by andrej on Write to File on soft PLC winV3x64 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello all, I would like to store some data in text file. I use the soft PLC Win V3x64, on Windows 10. I use the SysFile Library 3.5.17.0. If I store the file directly in the in the directory of the PLC i.e. in '/CODESYSControlWinV3x64/E1FA7ABE/PlcLogic/LogAU.txt' the file is correctly filled with the data. However, If I use an absolute path to a different directory no data is stored in the respective file. Despite the fact that the respective file exists and the Filehandler is correctly opened (see in picture _fdSysFHandle <> -1). // sFileName : STRING := 'LogAU.txt'; // STORES FILE IN ../CODESYSControlWinV3x64/../PlcLogic/LogAU.txt' sFileName : STRING := 'C/Temp/LogAU.txt'// DOES NOT WORK --------------------- // FILE DESCRIPTOR _fdSysFHandle := SysFile.SysFileOpen( szFile:= sFileName,am:= SysFile.AM_APPEND,pResult := ADR(_Result)); Does some have an idea where the problem is, resp. how I can get store a file in an arbitrary directory. Thanks a lot and kind regards Andreas

Hi All Thanks for sharing this information. For whom may not know why always get error code 16#4000 or 16#4002 while performing Recipe commands, the root cause is There is a line need to be inserted in CODESYSControl.cfg file, which is PlaceholderFilePath.1=/var/opt/codesys/PlcLogic/ I am using Pi, therefore the above path is set to my pi unit, after adding above line to my cfg file, all the Recipe commands work fine. But I still do not know how and when this file got modified though.

Thank you very much for your reply. That helped, it is editable if the library is at root level. Unfortunately, I noticed that I am not using the MQTT client SL, but the AzureMQTTClient from the Azure IoT Hub Client SL library. At first glance, there is no parameter to increase the message size. Does anyone know how to increase this in the library or is it simply not possible here?

Post by eschwellinger on Persistence Manager Backup ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
you need at them moment a download once (for the configuration files generated including addresses) then stop the plc - exchange the persistence file ( without the config file) This will be improved to 3.5.18.6 and 3.5.20.0. (possible then to generate offline bootproject including full persistenmanager files) - this is if you have not 100% the same bootapplication on the devices. In case you copy the whole Application (PLCLogic) directory it should work out of the box - but only with 100% same bootprojects as mentioned above. By the CODESYS Automation Server would help solve this too.

Post by wollvieh on License Activation Problems ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
on a raspberry pi delete the folder and its content before licensing. /var/opt/codesys/cmactlicense If you plug this SD card in another raspi ( which has another hw-serial number) you'll get a second empty softcontainer. This could lead to an unlicensed PFC (it could only handle one container) The solution is: To delete the /var/opt/codesys/cmactlicense directory and content of it and then aktivate the lizenz via WibuCmRau file and Lizenzmanager.

Hello, I am trying to implement a FB to make JSON formatted WSTRING type message using JSON Utilities 1.9.0.0 included in the IIoT library. In my case, I want to set some objects or arrays and set values to them later. But when I wrote as the sample below, // init builder builder(pJsonData:=pJsonData, diRootObj=>diRootObj); // set the 1st key to root diKey1 := builder.SetKeyWithArray(wsKey:="key1", diParentIndex:=diRootObj, eError=>eError); // set a value to the 1st key wsValue:="value01"; builder.SetValue(Value:=wsValue, diParentIndex:=diKey1, eError=>eError); // set the 2nd key to root diKey2 := builder.SetKeyWithArray(wsKey:="key2", diParentIndex:=diRootObj, eError=>eError); // set a value to the 2nd key wsValue:="value02"; builder.SetValue(Value:=wsValue, diParentIndex:=diKey2, eError=>eError); // set a value to the 1st key again wsValue:="value03"; builder.SetValue(Value:=wsValue, diParentIndex:=diKey1, eError=>eError); // set a value to the 2nd key again wsValue:="value04"; builder.SetValue(Value:=wsValue, diParentIndex:=diKey2, eError=>eError); // write build result writer(xExecute:=TRUE, pwData:=ADR(wsResult), udiSize:=SIZEOF(wsResult), xAsyncMode:=FALSE, jsonData:=pJsonData^); the result was: { "key1": ["value01"], "key2": ["value02", "value03", "value04"] } while my expection was: { "key1": ["value01", "value03"], "key2": ["value02", "value04"] } Inspecting pJsonData^, JSONData itself seems to be ok, so I believe the issue is something caused by the writer FB. Does anyone know how to fix it? Thanks,

IF xStartTest THEN sFileName := '\logs.txt'; sFileName := CONCAT(gvl.g_sMainDirectory, sFileName); sFileNameCopy := '\CAAFileCopy.txt'; sFileNameCopy := CONCAT(gvl.g_sMainDirectory, sFileNameCopy); //eWriteState := FILE_OPEN_TRIGGER; xTestDone := FALSE; xError := FALSE; xStartTest := FALSE; END_IF VAR_GLOBAL g_sMainDirectory : STRING := 'C:\LogFiles'; // file path for CSV file END_VAR Despite this, the file does not appear in the specified directory, and no error messages are being generated. I've checked the directory permissions and ensured that the path is correct. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue or have any suggestions on how to resolve this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
