Post by dominggus on FileDialog - OnDialogClosed not called anymore ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, since the latest update it seems the OnDialogClosed is not called anymore?? using CODESYS SP20 Patch 3 with CODESYS Visualization 4.6.0.0 I am using LoadWriteRecipe to load a recipe file from disk (with some custom dialog settings), and I need to run a function (Recipes_LoadFromRecipeData()) afterwards which I execute when OnDialogClosed is closed with OK button. See attached screenshot and code below: *** OnDialogClosed : Recipes_OnLoadFileDialogClosed(pClientData): *** // the DialogManager is provided via the implicitly available VisuManager dialogMan := VisuElems.g_VisuManager.GetDialogManager(); IF dialogMan <> 0 AND pClientData <> 0 THEN FileOpenCloseDialog := dialogMan.GetDialog('VisuDialogs.FileOpenSave'); // gets the FileOpenSave dialog IF FileOpenCloseDialog <> 0 THEN result := FileOpenCloseDialog.GetResult(); // gets the result (OK, Cancel) of the dialog IF result = VisuElems.Visu_DialogResult.OK THEN Recipes_LoadFromRecipeData(); END_IF END_IF END_IF *** OnMouseClick: Execute ST-Code *** // override FileOpenSave Dialog settings // Visu_FbFileListProvider.Initialize(stDirectory, stFilter, stFileIn, stTitle, iRowCount, bBrowseDirectory, bTouch) VisuDialogs.g_FileListProvider.Initialize('./', '*.bunkerrecipe', '', 'Load recipe', 20, TRUE, FALSE); VisuDialogs.g_FileListProvider(); This used to work in CODESYS v3.5 SP20 Patch 1, but it seems it doesn't work anymore unfortunately? The OnDialogClosed just never seems to be called anymore....

Post by carl25 on Confused about stepper spec & tips on pwm-step/dir ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello! I have asked the few I know who have knowledge of this and now turn to this one inexhaustible source of knowledge aka. the electronics forum. I was going to buy stepper motors yesterday but got so confused about the spec that I need to get an answer to this first. 2 different stepper motors, quite close in size but with very different spec. https://www.oyostepper.de/goods-40-Nema-17-Schrittmotor-Bipolar-12V-18-Grad-40Ncm-04A-12-Volt-4-Dr%C3%A4hte-Hybrid-Schrittmotor.html https://www.oyostepper.de/goods-38-Nema-17-Schrittmotor-Bipolar-18-deg-22Ncm-133A-28V-4-Dr%C3%A4hte-Hybrid-Schrittmotor.html Both Nema17 but the first 1.33A and 22Ncm and the second only 0.4A but almost double the torque. I can see that the resistance is very much higher on the latter but what's the catch? Double the torque to 1/3 the current sounds a little too good to be true so what am I missing?

Post by fabiodasilveira on PLC Shell commands via ST Code ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello Everybody, I have created a project for an Eaton XC303 that sends lots of data to a router via UDP. It works fine. However, when there is more than one product connected to the router, then it is necessary to change the IP address of the Ethernet port 0, from e.g. 192.168.2.11 to 192.168.2.12 (second product). It is easily done via PLC Shell (setipaddr 0 192.168.2.12), but the people in production is struggling with the PLC Shell commands and I would like to create a Visualization page that will hide that. I used the instruction: eChangeIPResult:= SysSockSetIPAddress(strEthernetPort, strIPAddress); and it works, until the PLC resets. I already read some posts and it appears that I need to stop the Ethernet 0 port and Reconfigure it, but I am really struggling to find the right way to do it. Any help will be much appreciated.

Post by razebones on sdo read write codesys 3.5 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
ENG For some reason, I can't bind a variable to the data parameter. Also, why does only the sdo_read4 function work for me? I also can't write through sdo_write4. I can only view the received values via sdo_read4. Please help me with this task. Moreover, I tried to write the values through sdo write 4 and for a while the data stopped being written and I overwritten it manually and sdo read4 started working again and at the same time they do not want to work in the main task. RU Я не могу почему то привязать переменную к параметру data. Так же у меня почему работает только функция sdo_read4 так же не могу записать через sdo_write4. Могу только просматривать полученные значения через sdo_read4. Помогите пожалуйста с этой задачей. Причём я попытался записать значения через sdo write 4 и у меня на какое то время перестали записываться данные и перезаписал вручную и sdo read4 начал работать снова и одновременно они не хотят работать в main task.

Post by canplum on Codesys 3.5.21 fails to copy file to USB ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Although I have set in /etc/codesyscontrol/CODESYSControl_User.cfg the [SysFile] PlaceholderFilePath.1=/media/pi, $usb$ PlaceholderFilePath.1.View=1 PlaceholderFilePath.1.Volatile=1 I am not able to copy a file to this directory defined by the placeholder. Neither SysProcess.SysProcessExecuteCommand2 nor SysFileCopy nor FileCopy is working. If I try to copy the same file to /home/pi all is working fine. I also can create and open a different file by using SysFileOpen. I don't understand why the system allows to open (create) and write files into that directory but doesn't allow to copy into it. Obviously there is a rights problem with the USB drive. I have already set the permissions to drwxr-xr-x 2 and the user to pi but without any success. With 3.5.16 I never had such an issue. Is there anybody with some hints how to solve that problem? Cheers, canplum

Post by sbhaskarla on WebVisu File Transfer Error ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I’m encountering an issue when downloading CSV files via the WebVisu button input config -> file-transfer option: • Custom directory: /plcdata/csv_logs/filename.csv o Error: Error 4 – Error during file transfer • Sandbox directory: /var/opt/codesys/PlcLogic/plcdata/csv_logs/filename.csv o Result: Download succeeds without error. Actions taken so far: 1. Added /plcdata/csv_logs to codesyscontrol.cfg (see attached). 2. Enabled file-transfer services in codesyscontrol_user.cfg (see attached). 3. Confirmed that the PLC writes CSV files correctly to /plcdata/csv_logs/. Despite these settings, WebVisu still returns Error when accessing the custom path 1. Using the placeholder file path '$$CSVLOGS$$/filename.csv' and it returns Error 6. 2. Using the literal path /plcdata/csv_logs/filename.csv and it returns Error 4 Could someone please help me determine what additional configuration or troubleshooting steps are required to serve files from /plcdata/csv_logs/? Please find screenshots attached for better understanding and I have also attached the config files

Post by iliyatsukerman on SoftMotion auf PFC200 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hallo, Wir würden Ihre Unterstützung bei der Überprüfung der Kompatibilität der folgenden Konfiguration sehr schätzen: • PSTR-LO-16/400FEV ELMO • SCALANCE XC208 • WAGO PFC200 750-8213/40-010 • Die SPS (WAGO) wird gleichzeitig eingesetzt als: o EtherCAT-Master zur Kommunikation mit einem Elmo-Servoantrieb (EtherCAT-Slave, 4 Achsen – generisches CiA 402-Profil), und o Modbus-TCP-Server zur Kommunikation mit einem Siemens Modbus-TCP-Client, welcher zur Fernsteuerung des Elmo-Servoantriebs über die SPS dient. Bitte bestätigen Sie, ob die SPS in der Lage ist, diese Dualfunktion — als EtherCAT-Master und gleichzeitig als Modbus-TCP-Server — ohne Konflikte oder Performanceprobleme zu unterstützen. Insbesondere interessiert uns, ob die CODESYS SoftMotion SL Basislizenz (2305000000-F) notwendig ist, um 4 Servoachsen zu steuern, und ob diese Lizenz auf einer WAGO PFC200 SPS mit CODESYS Version 3.5 Service Pack 19 Patch 40 oder höher unterstützt wird. Alle Achsen im Servoantrieb werden unabhängig voneinander gesteuert. Mit freundlichen Grüßen. ILIYA

Post by timvh on Current Visu name without Current Visu Variable ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
To get the current visu for all your individual web clients, you could iterate over them, using the same library 1) Create a new function block which implements VU.IVisualizationClientIteration 2) Create an instance of this function block + add an instance of the "iterate" function block fbIterateCallBack : FB_IterateOverClients; // this implements VU.IVisualizationClientIteration fbVuIterate : VU.FbIterateClients; // this FB iterates over all clients 3) Call the fbVuIterate and set the reference to the call back FB. Then it will automatically call the method "HandleClient" of this function block. fbVuIterate( xExecute:= NOT fbVuIterate.xDone, xDone=> , xBusy=> , xError=> , itfClientFilter:= VU.Globals.OnlyWebVisu, eError=> , itfIterationCallback:= fbIterateCallBack); In the HandleClients method you can use the property of the interface of your webclient to which page it is currently on: sCurrentVisuOfClient := itfClient.CurrentVisuName; 4) Optionally from here you could also set the visu for the webclient, but this might be obsolete, because the other function block is now available... xQueryOK : BOOL; xChangePage : BOOL; itfVisuClientRawData : VU.IVisualizationClientRaw; xQueryOK := __QUERYINTERFACE(itfClient, itfVisuClientRawData); IF xQueryOK AND xChangePage THEN VisuElems.g_VisuManager.SetMainVisu(pClientData := itfVisuClientRawData.ClientDataPointer, stVisu := 'Visu2'); xChangePage := FALSE; END_IF

Post by gunstr on CODESYS control on RPi starts, shortly runs, then exits ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
We have been using the Codesys Control for Rasberry Pi for several years in many installations without any major issues. But during summer the problem mentioned above has blocked further deliveries. We have made some minor upgrades to the application but I do not really see why that should have any impact. HW is Raspberry Pi 4B, 2GB OS is Booworm Lite Codesys control is version 4.15 (have just installed a few systems lately with this version) The system boots OK but after exactly 30 seconds Codesys is shut down and becomes unreachable. We have tested several different combinations: Upgrade of the Codeys Control to 4.16 Loading different Codesys applications Changing to 4GB version of the Raspberry Pi One of the test applications together with the 4GB HW seems to be stable, but all other combinations fails. Any suggestion what we can do to resolve is appreciated - this is a real business blocker now. Rgds

Post by nicetuxedo on Can not activate license on Raspberry pi ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello everyone, I'm hoping for some assistance with a license activation issue: a software crash has left my license in a strange state. Here is the sequence of events: I purchased a new license for the Raspberry PI from the official CODESYS web store. I opened the CODESYS and started the online activation process using the ticket number I received. During the activation, the CODESYS software threw an exception and crashed. I was not able to see if the activation completed. After restarting CODESYS, I attempted to run the activation process again with the same ticket number. The License Manager now gives me an error stating that the ticket has already been activated/used. I am now stuck because my installation is not licensed, but the activation server believes my ticket has been consumed. Has anyone encountered this before? Is there a way to have the ticket status reset?

This "FB_Init" error has become very annoying lately. It's usually related to webvisu and is resolved by deleting all objects and related libraries. Of course, you need to re-add the deleted objects. Lately, we've generally been managing by not upgrading, but this problem persists in every version since SP20 and should be resolved. I updated a project from SP 19 to SP 21 and found 116 similar errors.
