Post by leon78 on Codesys 3.5 SP17 Patch 2 CheckBounds (POUs for Implicit Checks) ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello! I use CheckBounds (POUs for Implicit Checks). But I have a problem. I use an array as an VAR_IN_OUT of Function Block. If I try to monitor the array of variable length ([* ]), its does't work. The CheckBounds POU isn't called. If I use the array of fixed lenght ([lower..upper]), the CheckBounds POU is called. Why?

pretty sure its not. ive done a cross reference and only have one write that sets it to true. Only way i can stop it is to remove the function block call from the main pou that is running said case. its got me stumped:/

This works for me in Schneider Machine Expert 2.2, which is based on Codesys 3.5.19. It did not work in Machine Expert 2.1, which was based on Codesys 3.5.16.

please tell us the exact error message from diagnostic. U can view it at devicetree in the node-element diagnostic from modbus-configuration. u also can activate the function auto-reconnect in master and increase a little bit the timeout and the repetition to male thw communication a little bit more robust

Post by evanclegg on Digital Clock ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
To display the current time, you’ll need to retrieve it from the system clock. In CODESYS, you can use the built-in function SysTime to get the current system time. Here’s an example of how you can use it: VAR dtCurrentTime: DATE_AND_TIME; sTime: STRING(8); END_VAR dtCurrentTime := SysTime(); sTime := TIME_TO_STRING(dtCurrentTime.t); The sTime variable now contains the current time in the format “HH:MM:SSuno online".

Post by k4zz on Static Code Analysis ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I've already experimented with two methods, but unfortunately, they only function with projects of type *.project. Consequently, when executing: system.commands["staticanalysis", "run"].execute() For the 2nd Option: You'll need to ensure that in the Static Analysis Settings, the option "Perform static analysis automatically after compilation" is checked. # get Project values myProject = projects.primary # Creates an active application app = myProject.active_application # build Application and run static code analysis app.generate_code()

Post by markushunter on Different behavior between the "Start" button in the IDE and the Cmp function "AppStartApplication()" ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
One workaround is to create a second application which is started after the rested of the main application. The second application starts the main application after time x and is rest after done start of the main application. No problems during the fieldbus re-start by this workaround.

Hey schnepper, when i look into your c-file, i would say that only the main-function is declared with cext-addendum in your codesys-library-project. all yöur funtions in library has to be the cext-addendum when the external implementation is activ. if i remeber right, methods and other subelements dont need that, but every base-elements

I'd like to measure tool length using SW. How do I set variable from the accurate drive position when switch turn ON/OFF? Hopefully, I'd like to measure Z-Pos with M-Function in G-Code automatically, And I'd like to set it to G43 as tool length correction.

Post by matt-purcell on Which Lib to use, connect to a socket with URL instead of IP address ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I've been searching through these libraries, syssocket and net base services and they all seem to use the same structure for IP address for the connect function, SOCKADDRESS. At a glance, it doesn't look like that'll work, maybe it's just missing in the documentation somewhere?? I'm wondering if anyone has done it.

Post by jeffersonhui on SysProcessExecuteCommand2 terminate ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, I am using the SysProcessExecuteCommand2 function from the SysProcess library to run the candump command in the PLC's Linux environment. However, the candump command stays running indefinitely. If I was running the candump command from a terminal (via PuTTy, etc), that command usually requires Ctrl+C to terminate. Is there a way to terminate a command that is executed with SysProcessExecuteCommand2?

Post by tk096 on Some 'pathetic' errors in SoftMotion program ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, I suppose that you are referring to the error code "SMC_FB_WASNT_CALLED_DURING_MOTION"? Starting of Softmotion version 4.15.0.0 the instance path of the function block that has not been called is logged into the device log. This might help you to identify why it has not been called.

Post by timvh on Array to String ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
The string_Util_Intern is not the library I referred to. With a CONCAT function (also with the string util library) a search is done for the NULL character. If you concatenate 20000 characters to one string, then the longer the string, the longer it takes to find this NULL character.

Hello jacobwago, I believe that the limit is fixed in the editor, but not in the driver package. There seems to be no link between the driver setting and the editor. Otherwise, I don't know why the input (>10) is blocked, but the function is available. Unfortunately, I cannot offer you any other solution apart from the one mentioned above. Kind regards

I found some structured text code which contained this statement: bHidden:= TRUE(*NOT _somevariable*) I haven't seen TRUE() used like a function before, and I also haven't seen the enclosing asterisks * * before. What do they do? (sorry if this is a duplicate question, I don't know what words to use to search for this syntax)

Post by willbechel on Errors about PLC configuration in CoDeSYs software ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I saved it as the same project but in a different location. I opened this "new project". I clicked on the "Direct Login from Automation Builder" button. It automatically directed me to CODESYS, where I was able to create the "Create Boot Project" but first I also clicked login again but inside CODESYS keeping the automation builder login online. Additional Information: The "Create Boot Project" function in CODESYS is used to create a project that will automatically start when the controller is booted up. To create a boot project, you must first create a new project in CODESYS. Once you have created a new project, you can then use the "Create Boot Project" function to create a boot application. The "Create Boot Project" function will create a new application that is based on the current project. The new application will be saved in the same location as the current project. You can then download the new application to the controller.
