Post by pistola on Visualization Size - Set Layout ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I feel like this is a setting issue and I can't seem to find the right setting. I have a new project that I'm looking to add visualizations to however when I select my template size (1280 x 800) I make sure in my properties under the visualization tab, I have "Use specified visualization size" selected and my width set at 1280 and height set at 800. Now within my visualization editor I can't see to get the size outside of my template to grey out. I've attached a PDF showing what I'd like the visualization editor to look like and what mine currently looks like. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Post by kevinrn on Github Actions CI/CD tasks - development topic ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi @steven-schalm, Thank you for your inquiry, and I apologize for the delayed response! We use GitHub Actions cloud runners for this purpose, as it eliminates the need to maintain our own build runners. You can get started by creating a free GitHub account, which includes complimentary minutes for running actions on Windows runners. You can find an example implementation in our repository: https://github.com/powerIO-GmbH/action-codesys-setup I'm currently working on making additional features public, including: Git checkout functionality, Code signing, Custom script execution However, these additions require some preparation before release. Feel free to contribute to the project! BTW: You can also execute this locally, even the yml files with nektos/act on your windows dev machine.

Post by hboertz on CamBuilder and first boundary position not zero ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi @niallel, it is currently not possible to create periodic cams using SMCB.BoundImplicit(). If you want to create a periodic cam which does not start/end with all slaves values equal to zero, then you must specify the boundary conditions explicitly using SMCB.Bound(). When you finished your cam, you can check via CamBuilder.CheckContinuity(), if the cam fulfills the continuity requirements for a periodic cam (see input isPeriodic). But you are right, it should be possible to create periodic cams using implicit boundary conditions. I have added the following Jira issue, so that this feature might be included in a future SoftMotion version: SM-5537: CamBuilder: It should be possible to create periodic cams using implicit boundaries I hope this answers your question. Best regards, Hendrik

Post by askic on Library Documentation Export Error ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I have encountered a very strange and non descriptive error when creating libraries. Basically, when user just create a new CODESYS library, and then just add Text List, save build with no errors and then try to save as compiled library, the following error would be generated: "The library documentation export error" and nothing more, just like shown in the attachment. Of course I have installed package CODESYS Library Documentation Support v 4.6.0.0 I'm Using Codesys 3.5.20 Patch 2 Does anybody have any suggestion about the cause of this error or any advice on how to troubleshoot further?

Post by agentcousto on [Bug report] Issue with Importing XML Files Containing "POINTER TO" Variables in Codesys Platform Plugins Versions 2.7 and 2.8 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I have developed a Python script that I run to import XML files into my project. For this, I use the Python function import_xml(). Everything was working fine when I was using Codesys platform plugins version 2.6.1.2320, but since I upgraded to versions 2.7 and even 2.8, some files are no longer imported correctly. After some research, I identified that all the files containing variables of the type "POINTER TO" are affected. I have attached a screenshot of the error I am encountering. Do you know about this bug? Do you plan to fix it?

Post by imdatatas on Programmatically change Tappet on a cam ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Yes, There is. As explained "Manual creation of CAM structure" on below section. Likewise tappet structure also can be create manual and value of the switching point can be change during IEC program running. https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20SoftMotion/_sm_basic_cam_programmatic_creation.html Just create a cam table and define some tapped points as sample for your project. Then on project compile, the created cam tapped data is converted internally into a global variable list. By clicking "Display generated code" in the "cam editor", you can display the automatically created global variables for both cam & tappets. Regards, Imdat

Post by buczekj on About CPU Loading ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
This is a phenomenon that I have seen myself and with others. Texas instruments wrote an application note with this same issue. They noted with Codesys 3.5.19.10, that selecting CPU 1 as the EtherCAT task showed CPU spiking improvements over the performance of cores 0, 2, and 3. It appears to be linked to EtherCAT, are you configuring for use with distributed clocks? If so, I recommend choosing the 'Based on Input Reference' option. I have found it to reduce the CPU usage spike maximum slightly (see attached). See link to TI (also attached in case link breaks) https://www.ti.com/lit/an/spradh0/spradh0.pdf?ts=1723546111357

Post by taywinkel on Virtual Runtime CSV Utility Error ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I am having trouble figuring out the proper location for my virtual runtime to create a .CSV file. No matter the file location I set, I get error 14 (CANNOT_OPEN_DIRECTORY). I have tried multiple different file paths ('/', '/var/opt/codesysvcontrol/PlcLogic', '/var/opt/codesys/'). I understand that there is only certain places that Codesys can read/write. I am also running this virtual runtime in a Podman container. Does anyone know what the location should be? I attached the archive I was using, a project that tests CSV capability that I borrowed from someone else. Thanks!

Wanted to play a bit with a raspberry Pi 4 Model B HW 1.5 and Codesys. Regardless of the image (tried 32bit / 64bit version from Raspberry Pi Imager) and with all tested Codesys Control versions (4.2.0, 4.8.0, 4.10.0) and regardless if single core / multicore / 64 bit variant, always is the runtime stopped after about 30sec with the nice message: ooops... this runtime was built for RASPBERRYPI. Hardware version or firmware version not supported! (-7, 0x00000BB8, 0xFFFFFFFB) Whats wrong with it?!?!? I read a lot about the issue in topics from 2020-2021 but it always was stated with new Codesys control version issue will be fixed (4.4 for example) but still it is there.

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.

Hi, I am using Codesyscontrol for linux 4.11 with an USB dongle with license. The log file from codemeter shows a constant error message which repeats every minute: Entry (6000437:8755) not found - Event WB0200 (ENTRY NOT FOUND), Request IP-Address local(IPV4) with UserLimit API Error 200 (ENTRY NOT FOUND) occurred! The log file from Codesyscontrol itself shows runtime licensed and I experience no other issues. But I am still concerned about the error message in the log file. Does anybody know what this is and how to fix it? thanks

I had an issue aswell, I was trying to use docker and got stuck on the specific line ' Downloading https://download.microsoft.com/download/9/5/A/95A9616B-7A37-4AF6-BC36-D6EA96C8DAAE/dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe' within install2.sh - which is actually from the https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks, winetricks_selfupdate(). Would love to know if anyone has a known solution. Only other thing I can think is to download winetricks +.net, update the winetricks to point to the downloaded .net? Granted Im not too savy with Docker so I have been struggling on figuring that part out- would love any suggestions!

SOLVED!!! In this imx8 max_cstate=1 in kernel boot parameters is not working! We found a workaround: #include <stdio.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdint.h> int main(void) { int fd; uint32_t value = 0; fd = open("/dev/cpu_dma_latency", O_WRONLY); if (fd < 0) { perror("Error opening /dev/cpu_dma_latency"); return 1; } if (write(fd, &value, sizeof(value)) != sizeof(value)) { perror("Error writing to /dev/cpu_dma_latency"); close(fd); return 1; } while (1) { pause(); } } This simple code launched before CODESYS do the same work! Now jitter is identical as measured by cyclictest!

What I have realized that if I use for Label/Caption etc. string variable (%s) it is not included in translation list.
