Read Global Variable from an IoT Device

Post by fedex03 on Read Global Variable from an IoT Device ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello everyone, I am new to the forum, and to programming with CodeSys. I am dealing with IoT device for industry and I should check if a device is able to read/write global variables in an EtherNet/IP Master. Since I do not have an EtherNet/IP PLC, I thought of using CodeSys as a softPLC. I created a program with a set of global variables (GVL) and a task that increments them. I would like to know if I need to enable any options so that the global variables can be read by IoT devices. My device supports Class 2 Class (Explicit Messaging Connection) communication. Thank you in advance for your help.

Post by imdatatas on The default ramp type selection in SoftMotion V4.18.0.0 is Quadratic ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Dear @gseidel, @tk096, I noticed that with SoftMotion V4.18.0.0, if a new axis is added to the project, the ramp type selection defaults to "Quadratic". In all previous versions, the velocity ramp type selection was "Trapezoidal". This causes some unexpected issues in projects with SoftMotion version V4.18.0.0 for newly created or newly added axes to existing projects. Is it possible to reconsider this situation in the next update and set the velocity ramp type to "Trapezoid" by default again? Best Regards, Imdat

Hello, Sorry for digging this topic up, but the bitbucket link does not work anymore. Have you changed the location @mondinmr ? I would be really interested in your project, even if you did not finish it. Thank you for your time, BR

If you want to use the Test Manager, I prefer to start all the tests through the scripts of this manager. So open from there the projects, load it and run it. If you also want to use Python scripts to access CODESYS functionality, while executing a Test Manager script, then also start them from the Test Manager commands.

❓ Issue: TestManager Not Available in Python Script (AttributeError) 🙏 Question: Why does project.get_testmanager() not work in scripting, even though Test Manager is installed and licensed, and the script runs in GUI mode? Is there a way to ensure the Test Manager interface is loaded or accessible from the scripting environment? 🧠 Summary: I'm trying to automate test execution using the CODESYS scripting engine (Python) via a script that opens a project, builds the application, and runs tests from a TestRepository.xml. Although the Test Manager works manually in the IDE, it fails when accessed via script with the following error: AttributeError: 'ScriptObject' object has no attribute 'testmanager' 🧪 Test Setup: CODESYS version: 3.5.21.10 Test Manager: Installed and licensed (works in the IDE manually) Project: Contains a test repository, which can be executed via the GUI Script execution method: powershell Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Program Files\CODESYS 3.5.21.10\CODESYS\Common\CODESYS.exe" ` -ArgumentList @( '--profile="CODESYS V3.5 SP21 Patch 1"', '--runscript="C:\Scripts\run_tests.py"' ) -Wait 📜 Script Summary: python project = projects.open(project_path) application = project.active_application application.build() This fails: testmanager = project.get_testmanager() ❗ Problem: Calling project.get_testmanager() or application.testmanager throws an AttributeError, even though the same project and test repository work in the GUI.

Not sure, but maybe before you enter step 5, set i, lineindex and charIndex to 0. And the buffer variable should have a size bigger than 1 line. Additionally I think you should set bufferstart to 0 before you enter step 5. And in the OSCAT function you always point to the buffer address, but shouldn't this be (buffer + bufferstart)?

You should not use the "open dialog" to change the value. Instead use the input configuration "Write Variable" to change a variable value in the visualization. in the setting of this input command, you can choose the Input type (select dialog).

Hello, I am new to Codesys and I'm having trouble with running a python script on my Raspberry. SysProcessExecuteCommand2 gives result 25 and nothing happens. I used chmod +x and chmod 666 on my script. In terminal it's working when I'm using the same command line as in Codesys. Code in attatched screenshot. Thank You in advance.

Thank you for your input! What I'm ultimately trying to achieve is automated test execution as part of a CI/CD pipeline (e.g. in GitLab or Azure DevOps). For this, I need to: Open a CODESYS project via script Build the project Run the Test Manager tests from a .TestRepository.xml Collect test results (e.g., pass/fail + a report) Exit with a proper return code (for pipeline success/failure) To integrate this into automation, I’m using the CODESYS scripting engine via Python (headless), but the issue is that the get_testmanager() function isn't available on the project object — even though Test Manager is installed, licensed, and works interactively in the IDE. Are you suggesting that I should: Use the Test Manager GUI to script the logic with its internal scripting language? Or is there a way to launch the Test Manager in headless/scripted mode, while still being able to control things via Python? If there's a supported way to automate tests with the Test Manager using scripting, especially from pipelines or headless environments, I’d really appreciate any pointers or example workflows. Thanks again!

Post by jeroenaero on Targetvisualisation full screen with CmpTargetVisu settings ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, How can i display targetvisualization in full screen on the target device? I installed Targetvisu For Linux SL 4.16.0.0 on target device which contains Raspberry PI 64bit PIXEL desktop. When i connect my PLC program to the remote targetvisu, the targetvisu displays for 60% horizontally. We contacted CODESYS and they said it is a bug. they had a workaround, and with the settings below added to the file /etc/codesysvisualization/CODESYSVisualizationTV.cfg, the targetvisualization display for 100%, but with the taskbar at the top. VisuClient.BestFit=1 ;VisuClient.ScaleTypeIsotropic=0 VisuClient.FillWholeBackground=1 [CmpTargetVisu] WindowPositionX=0 WindowPositionY=0 WindowSizeWidth=1280 WindowSizeHeight=800 WindowType=2 How can we let it display fullscreen without taskbar?
