Post by drml on How to implement an interface (IElement)? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I'm struggling with the implementation of the IElement interface (in the ElementCollections library), which I will use to create a SortedList. I created a class (FB) "Device" that implements this interface and that has a "Priority" property that I want to use in order to compare the devices in my implementation of the ElementCompareTo method. Unfortunately, the IElement.ElementCompareTo method needs an IElement as an input, which doesn't know about the "Priority" property of "Device". I tried to define the input itfElement as a Device, but then it doesn't want to compile, because the type in the implementation doesn't match the interface.

Post by phoward131 on Alarm Table Filtering ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I actually just found the solution maybe. If anyone else is running into this, go to your Project Settings > Visualization > Advanced (check 'Visible' to see advanced settings) > UNCHECK 'Activate property handling in all element properties.' I am not sure what else unchecking this might affect but it seems to allow the alarm table to be filtered as expected.

Post by timvh on Colors look different when logged in and running ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
At the top of the Visualisation Properties View, you can enable the "Advanced" options. This will give you access to more properties than what you currently see. There might be a variable linked to the "advanced" colour property where the fill colour is determined by the value of this variable (dword).

Post by timvh on Library ENUM text representation in visualization ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Probably the enum from the library doesn't have text support. In that case you need to add your own TextList to the application. In the rectangle you should use the property "dynamic text" to link this object to the textlist which you have created yourself and then link the text index to your enum variable.

Post by jozef on Bacnet-Properties werden nicht aktualisiert ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hallo zusammen, ich habe Schwierigkeiten manche Properties in der Codesys-Application (3.5.19.2) auszulesen. Die Richtung Codesys->Bacnet funktioniert einwandfrei. Für manche Properties, wie z.B. PresentValue funktioniert auch die Richtung Bacnet->Codesys. Beispiel: GVL_Automationstation.udiWartungszeit_Probe := BACnetBinaryValueObjects.BINARY_VALUE_10.udiTimeDelayNormal; oben gelistete Property ändert sich nie in der Codesys Applikation. Hätte jemand einen Ansatz woran es liegen könnte? Grüße Jozef

Post by mascara on JOG continues in WCS ( SMC_GroupJog2 ) ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I'm using the SMC_GroupJog2 block from the SM3_Robotics library for manual movement of an AxisGroup in WCS coordinates. The observed behavior is: When pressing X+, the X-axis starts moving correctly. If I press Y+ during the movement, the block interrupts the current movement and starts a new movement in X and Y. If I release any button, all axes stop, even if another button is still pressed. Example: Pressing X+ → X moves Pressing X+ and Y+ → X stops momentarily and starts XY movement Releasing X+ while holding Y+ → all axes stop The expected behavior would be: to allow simultaneous continuous movement on multiple axes to not interrupt movement when another axis is added or removed. Is there a correct configuration of SMC_GroupJog2 to achieve this behavior, or is there another block more suitable for continuous manual jog in AxisGroup (WCS)?

I think what you want is a declaration period function for the page, but unfortunately CODESYS does not have it.

Post by jerry-sorrells on Find Function: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Build: CODESYS 3.5 SP19 Patch 1 (64-bit) Host OS: Windows 10 Target: Linux SL I have a project with programs in Structured Text and Ladder Diagram. When I try to use the Find function, it works for the Active Editor; however, when I try to use Find for the Entire Project, I get the error "Object reference not set to the instance of an object." I know what this error means in the context of the program, but I have no idea why the find function is returning this error. The variable I am searching does not matter: it happens with all variables. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated. I generally use the Find function quite often as I am developing and not having it is really slowing me down.

Hi, these variables are internal members of the axis. They measure the duration of some internal function calls.

Post by eguerra on Error in ScriptingEngine Docs - create_pou() ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
In the ScriptingEngine documentation there seems to be an error (or missing information) in the ScriptIecLanguageObjectContainer part ( https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/ScriptingEngine/ScriptIecLanguageObjectContainer.html#ScriptIecLanguageObjectContainer.ScriptIecLanguageObjectContainer ). The description of the function create_pou() doesn't specify the correct arguments requested, it only says create_pou(type: SpecialPouType) and a script using the documentation definition of the function will raise an error. I tried passing the function arguments similar to the ones specified for the create_dut() function and it seems to work fine: create_pou(name, PouType) , name : str UPDATE: The offline help has the correct definition IExtendedObject<IScriptObject> create_pou( string name, PouType type = PouType.FunctionBlock, Nullable<Guid> language = null, string return_type = null, string base_type = null, string interfaces = null )

Hello, many thanks for your reply. I checked the logs. It seems that dll is not loaded. However other dll such as the Webserver are loaded. Could you tell me what I need to do such that my dll is loaded. (Furthermore I changed the C-Function a bit. I used the M4.exe from the SDK.) Many thanks.

Post by tvm on Cannot pass array of constant size to a function as a reference ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
maybe this would be a better approach, then you don't have to pass the constant at all. FUNCTION fun : INT VAR_IN_OUT arr: ARRAY[*] OF INT; END_VAR VAR lower: DINT; upper: DINT; END_VAR lower:= LOWER_BOUND(arr, 1); upper:= UPPER_BOUND(arr, 1); see here as well https://help.codesys.com/api-content/2/codesys/3.5.12.0/en/_cds_datatype_array/

Post by tvm on Cannot pass array of constant size to a function as a reference ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
It will be a reference, because it's a VAR_IN_OUT. it's a little weird debugging the array online. It just shows as a POINTER TO INT, and you can't actually see the array from the function side. But you can still work with it as a normal array, not a pointer.
