Post by pernockham on Linking to IO during runtime with hot swap? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I have a project where a single PLC shall control multiple nodes (up to 10 units?) with IO connected through profinet. Ideally each node should be identical however with time I see situations were different setups/configurations will be used. Codesys PLC (GVLs) |Profinet | |--PNIO-node-1--| | | AIO, | | DIO, | | CNT etc. | |--PNIO-node-2--| | | AIO, | | DIO, | | CNT etc. Ideally I think of a configuration through yaml/xml-files (the assignment/linking of the profinet nodes towards GVL-variables in the PLC as well as scaling, channel configration etc.). Would be grateful if someone could suggest library/-ies that can handle the following: - Verify what IO is connected to a device/node. - Hot-swap/assign link for IO towards GVLs, either automatically or through a HMI.

Post by mwandy on Codesys Project Protection ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I'm having trouble finding clear answers on this. I'm looking for a way to make a Codesys project password protected so that if the project is distributed it can be used to log into a controller to view and debug logic. At this same time I want to prevent the project from being saved as well as edits being downloaded to the controller. Basically I want to make a whole project view-only. What is the beat way to achieve this? I have had minor success with access rights, which solves the problem with trying to login if the project doesn't match what is in the controller. However with this solution, edits can still be made and saved, possibly corrupting the core project, preventing future logins. Any suggestions?

Post by danwoodlock on Rpi zero w lost license after 4.11 update ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello all, Encountered an issue with my zero which seems to have happened after the 4.11 update. It now runs in demo mode (2hr) and I am trying to see what the appropriate steps are prior to contacting codesys directly. Background: I recently did a fresh install of w11 on my pc, so it seems "c:\ProgramData\CODESYS\Licenses\" only has information related to my pi5, which I licensed just this past Friday. I have all my license documentation about my rpi zero as far as the emails received, but when I try to claim using the ticket number it says its already been used, or something to that effect, which it was. Currently trying to perform device license reader, which is taking some time.

Post by baotthitawat on Why Structured SCADA Documentation Matters in Modern Industrial Systems ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Modern SCADA development is no longer limited to monitoring dashboards and PLC communication. Today’s industrial systems often require: Cloud architecture Web & mobile SCADA API integration IIoT communication Alarm management Scalable deployment workflows One challenge in many projects is that deployment knowledge is usually scattered across multiple documents, configuration guides, and troubleshooting references. As systems become more connected, engineers need a more structured learning approach to reduce deployment time and improve maintainability. The ATSCADA Training Book is an interesting example because it organizes the ecosystem into a clearer roadmap covering: SCADA architecture Driver & OPC communication Web visualization Mobile applications Cloud & IIoT systems Troubleshooting & maintenance I think structured technical documentation will become increasingly important as industrial automation systems continue evolving toward larger and more connected environments.

Post by steven-schalm on Frustration-Fueled Feedback on Project File Management and Git Integration ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Yes, it's very tedious, especially since Codesys 4 is a custom web development... At Rex Automatisierungstechnik GmbH, we've invested a lot of time in the Python interface to enable something like CI/CD, but also to export the code and re-import it after making clean modifications. Also, the fact that a class/function block is just a single file containing all the methods, props, etc. Yes, and right now I’m building my own VS Code extension with a clean LSP (Language Server Protocol) for ST, as well as an st-validator, st-formatter, st-linter, codesysPackage.json, and codesys_modules folder... Best regards, Steven Schalm / Sharok6130

Hello otdeveloper, I am very interested in this topic. I have been dedicated to IEC 61499 for some time and I would like to understand if the time has come to adopt it in the real world of automation or if it will continue to fill up research papers only.
