Thanks for the update, Since you can't double click is there another way to enter the FB when online and see the running code of that instance? When can we expect to see v1.0?

Not sure, but maybe it related to the style. Go to the Visualization Manager in your project and see if a style is selected, or choose another style to see if this helps.

Post by struccc on Multiple applications on one device sharing variables. ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I don't exactly recall where (I think some release notes), but I read the information that this multiple application / sub application feature is to be discontinued. Please, correct me, if I'm not right about this I am a bit sad about that - I was using that feature with more or less success. However I understand the reason behind the change: it introduces huge complexity, especially when dealing with multicore and safety support... AS I understand, it's to be replaced with the new virtual plc architecture, and standard ways for synchronizing / sharing data... So, for now the "Add application" context menu item was removed, but behind the scene it is still supported... Hint: if you still want to experiment with it, might try copy-paste things within the PLCLogic tree...

Hi All Not sure what im missing here but i seem to have a lot of issues when i start a project say at home then try to open it at work the next day on another pc, using same version of Codesys. I try the build option when opening the project but still get loads of placeholder,library and some random errors i'm not to sure about. have tied project Archive, which is better, but not perfect. Can someone tell me what im doing wrong!. Cheers

Post by mubeta on Some 'pathetic' errors in SoftMotion program ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Yes, this point is part of my misunderstanding. Why, after the execution ot the motion FBs is set to FALSE and exsecuted at lest one time, it must be continuosly called, even if the motion control it's take from another subsequent instruction. This is what I really don't undertand, but what in fact it's happening. For example, in case of stopping a MoveVelocity FB, then Halting the motion by the related FB, the axis at spot goes into error. If there was bad trigger management, the various instructions would NEVER work.

Post by jinlee on Dynamic I/Os Mapping ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi guys, Recently, I am working at the Dynamic I/Os mapping feature in Ecockpit or Codesys v3.5. I have been trying the libraries. However, it looks like it will not work as I wanted. I want to build the PLC which can detect all the I/Os itself and from there, I can do something on these channels. For example, the current setup is one digital input card, one digital output card and one analogue input card. Then, I want to add one more card into the setup e.g. one more digital input. Then, wago screen can detect this and we can assign them to tasks for example to control digital output. May I know is it possible ? Kind regards

Post by mariapaola on Port instantiation of serial interface in WAGO PLC using Modb_L05.lib in CoDeSys v2.3 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, Would really appreciate your insights in this issue I have. I am currently using a WAGO 750-881 with multiple IO devices. For one of them I already occupied the MODBUS Master configuration tool so I cannot overwrite it for my other devices. I have a total of two serial interfaces WAGO 750-652. The first one is instantiated in COM2 and doesn't need any protocol since the information comes in an specific formatting that need little code to differentiate between needed info. This one is working just fine. The second one is where I have an issue. I have tried to instantiate the port using MODBUS library modb_L05.lib to properly receive the data from an ARDUINO and I am absolutely unable to open the port: Signal DEVICE2.fbModbus.MODBUS_EXT_MASTER.Interface.Com_Port_Ist_Offen is never TRUE, among with all other signals from that interface, while signal DEVICE1.COM2.Com_Port_Ist_Offen is TRUE, and the other signals also read as TRUE or FALSE. I have tried instantiating the second one as the first one, changing COM3 to COM4, I've tried a lot of things but it wont ever open the channel. I don't know if you have any recommendations for me. For both physical modules, both witness LEDs A and E are on. First one is instantiated like this: PROGRAM DEVICE1 VAR wBaudRate : WORD := BAUD_9600; bDataBits : BYTE := 8; bParity : BYTE := 0; bFlowControl : BYTE := 3; (RS422 FullDuplex with continous send) i : INT; COM2 : SERIAL_INTERFACE; xOpenPort2 : BOOL := TRUE; ( Flag to open the Port ) xInitPort2 : BOOL; ( Flag to initiallize the Port ) ReceiveBuffer2 : typRing_Buffer; END_VAR COM2( bCOM_PORT_NR := 2, cbBAUDRATE := wBaudRate, cbsBYTESIZE := bDataBits, cpPARITY := bParity, csSTOPBITS := STOPBITS_1, cfFLOW_CONTROL := bFlowControl, utRECEIVE_BUFFER := ReceiveBuffer2, ptSEND_BUFFER := ADR(SendString2), xINIT := xInitPort2, xOPEN_COM_PORT := xOpenPort2, iBYTES_TO_SEND := LEN(SendString2)+1, xSTART_SEND := xSendActive2 ); Second one like this: PROGRAM DEVICE2 VAR COM4 : SERIAL_INTERFACE; xInitPort4 : BOOL := TRUE; xOpenPort4 : BOOL := TRUE; ReceiveBuffer4 : typRing_Buffer; fbModbus : MODBUS_EXTENDED_MASTER_RTU; fbError : enumMB_ERROR; stQuery : typModbusExtendedQuery; stResponse : typModbusResponse; au16Data : ARRAY[0..14] OF WORD; i : INT; tPoll : TON; END_VAR COM4( bCOM_PORT_NR := 4, cbBAUDRATE := BAUD_9600, cbsBYTESIZE := 8, cpPARITY := 0, csSTOPBITS := STOPBITS_1, cfFLOW_CONTROL := 2, ( RS-485 half-duplex ) utRECEIVE_BUFFER := ReceiveBuffer4, xINIT := xInitPort4, xOPEN_COM_PORT := xOpenPort4, xSTART_SEND := xSendActive4, ); stQuery.SlaveAddress := 1; stQuery.FunctionCode := 3; stQuery.Read_StartAddress := 0; stQuery.Read_Quantity := 15; (Poll code) fbModbus( ENABLE := TRUE, bCOM_PORT := 4, ( COM4=> 750-652 port ) cbCOM_BAUDRATE := BAUD_9600, cpCOM_PARITY := 0, csCOM_STOPBITS := 1, cbsCOM_BYTESIZE := 8, cfCOM_FLOW_CONTROL := 2, TimeOut := T#500ms, StartFunction := xStart, ExtQuery := stQuery, Response := stResponse, MB_Error => fbError ); FOR i := 0 TO 14 DO au16Data[i] := stResponse.Data[i]; END_FOR;

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 bjarne-pagaard on Multiple WebVisu ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
You can use the switch frame variable, but there should be a variable for each active visu user. You can put the switch frame variable in an array, and use CURRENTCLIENTID as index into the array to get what you want. The CURRENTCLIENTID is assigned to new users automagically by the Visu Management.

Post by davidbo on Modbus: Is there a way to get the channel index from the channel name? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
When I use the FUNCTION_BLOCK ModbusChannel I have to sepcify the integer iChannelIndex It can easily go wrong if one has many channels. It would be better if one could use the name. Is that possible? Attached a snippet of the channel name and the channel index to the left.

Hi @eschwellinger How does the persistent manager files work on v20? I would Like to upgrade my v19 as I'm still having issues. Sometimes if there is a power cut CodeSys won't load the Persistence Manager files and I have to redownload to the PLC and then copy my backup persistent files and then start the application. I hope it's a lot more robust in v20

Hi, I'm creating a program where I need to handle arrays, like: - Declare lenght variable arrays - [array(1..var) of "sometype"]. This is not possible in pure codesys, right? - Know array lenght, min, max, avg values in runtime - append/delete itens in an array - and so on Is there a library know for this in codesys. Is it possible to build our own libraries using some high level language like python or java script?
