Maybe check: - The library manager, are you maybe missing some libraries - Tools - CODESYS installer: update the CODESYS Visualization and Visualization support - Project - Project environment: maybe you need to update the visualization profile

Hi kalmeyer, I would recommend to have a look at these examples. They come with a project and a description: https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20SoftMotion/_sm_basic_examples_single_axis.html. Best regards, Georg

I experienced the same problem: using __VARINFO is working only in PRG context, while it crashes if used inside Function Blocks. I would really appreciate if they would fix this issue

Hi George - ok thanks - but who created this FB in the first place? Could you lead me to the creator company? Is CODESYS not the old S3 that created this FB? :-)

you can try to disable "Visualization Manager - Settings - Support client animations and overlay of native elements " selection" It worked for me, thank you.

Hello, I can use {attribute 'reflection'} FUNCTION_BLOCK POU VAR {attribute 'instance-path'} {attribute 'noinit'} str: STRING; END_VAR to get name of FB. How I can get the comment of FB, in the same way in the FB? Thank you for your time!

Are you sure you need to read holding registers? Have you tried reading input registers?

Post by blitz on Can't get SMC_SmoothPath to work ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
So in my case the solution was that I had both smooth path and round path in the code. Both blocks had their own buffer and seemed completely separate but still triggering Execute on both caused the mentioned problems. When I blocked Execute the problems disappeared.

this is probably: https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Control/_rtsl_linux_dedicated_user.html ..switch back from rootless mode due GPIO will not work.

Post by dhumphries on codesys installer deletes itself instead of updating ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I've installed multiple versions of codesys from a download, both the .exe and .zip, the installation goes okay but when I open the codesys installer with admin privelages it immediately starts downloading an update, then starts to install the update, but it doesn't complete the installation, it just deletes the installer files in c:\program files (x86)\codesys\apinstaller and never installs a new version. I've ran a repair from the downloaded installer and I can get it to work as long as I don't give admin permissions. I've done this on my workstation, I've also setup 2 different virtual machines thinking maybe there is some lingering config file, it does it no matter how sanitized the OS is. I've tried running with security software disabled and enabled, it's the same no matter what. It's been probably 4 months since I used the codesys installer, but it didn't do this back then. Is there a way to set the installer to a certain version and disable updates, or something I can do so the update does what it should?

Post by tjacks on Opc UA Data Source Client Browse Error in Codesys HMI ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Codesys V3.5 SP21 Patch 3 Codesys HMI 3.5.21.30 I'm trying to connect to an OPC UA server on a Kuka robot controller using Codesys HMI's data source manager. I get through the login phase and the client browses most of the data structure on the server but errors out toward the end with a generic: Error while browsing the client, Failed with service result: BadUnexpectedError. If I complete the data source setup and try to update variables, I get the attached stack trace for the error. I've tried several different endpoint and security options. Most get me through the login but all error out while browsing. UA Expert happily connects and browses with the same configuration. I've connected this same version of Codesys to TwinCAT OPC UA servers and Siemens PLC OPC UA servers. Any ideas on what may be causing the generic BadUnexpectedError during OPC UA server browse?

Is it possible to do non-formal invocation of function blocks in CODESYS? I get an error when I try, see the attached pic. Also attached a pic from IEC 61131-3 describing non-formal invocations.

No that is not possible for function blocks, although it is possible to that with methods and functions as you see in your second pic.

I'm having right now trouble if the NVL is 'big' and I've needed to reduce the size. It sends for (about) 1 hour then stops.

... and SP21 P6 also. Kind of bummer, migrating from TIA Portal to Codesys for PLC educational courses. These kind of bugs, and other deficiencies, really makes me regret my choice.
