On your device, change the setting in CODESYSControl_User.cfg: [CmpUserMgr] SECURITY.UserMgmt.PasswordPolicy=DISABLED

I thought I knew what I am doing, but something is missing what? From Device-Communication Settings select from drop down menu "Device" Select entry "Change Runtime Security Policy" Check the "Allow anonymous login" Select "Symbol Configuration" in your application In settings check "Support for OPC UA features" Check some of the values you want in your set Press the build button in the "Symbol Configuration" Press the button "Configure Symbol Rights" Make sure that Anonymous_OPCUAServer has access right to your "default set" From Device-Communication Settings select "Access Rights" in RemoteConnections-OPCUAServer Anonymous_OPCUAServer should be given modify and view rights I suppose. I can connect with UaExpert but I cannot see my Application or browse my values. What is missing?

When you have a deep object structure where not all values are not exposed to OPC UA, the top object will not have a V check mark but be filled fully out. In that case CODESYS do not always registrate changes to inner object. Solution set a V in the checkbox of the top object, build, download. Now you can browse, but all values in the top object will be selected, then you can deselect the ones you don't want, build, download and it works

Good morning, I’ve been using the Collection library for a long time, mostly with Stack, LinkedList, and List. From your examples I was able to manage the different factories, even for custom elements. Now I need a hashtable, but with this object I’m running into a lot of random access violations. If I append something inside FB_Init after constructing the hashtable, it crashes, even though the list was already created. If I only create the hashtable in FB_Init and append afterwards, it usually works. I don’t understand the meaning of the dispose call in this code: pSlave := ADR(slave); uSlave := TO_ULINT(pSlave); iKey := fKey.Create(uSlave); IF hash.CountKeys() = 0 THEN Service.logger.appendLog('Filling hashtable', 'HashManager', AdvLogType.AdvDebugMsg); ok := FALSE; ELSE eError := hash.ContainsKey(iKey, xResult => ok); END_IF IF NOT ok THEN pI := __NEW(UINT); iVal := fKey.Create(TO_ULINT(pI)); Service.logger.appendLog(CONCAT('New slave', TO_STRING(uSlave)), 'HashManager', AdvLogType.AdvDebugMsg); hash.AddKeyValuePair(iKey, iVal); appendNewSlave := pI; ELSE eError := hash.GetElementByKey(iKey, itfValue => iElem); xResult := __QUERYINTERFACE(iKey, itfIInstance); IF xResult THEN itfIInstance.Dispose(); END_IF IF eError <> COL.COLLECTION_ERROR.NO_ERROR THEN Service.logger.appendLog(CONCAT('ERROR ', TO_STRING(eError)), 'HashManager', AdvLogType.AdvCriticalMsg); appendNewSlave := nullptr; RETURN; END_IF __QUERYINTERFACE(iElem, iVal); {warning disable C0033} pI := TO___UXINT(iVal.UlintValue); {warning restore C0033} appendNewSlave := pI; END_IF Without the dispose call, every second cold reset crashes immediately when I try to access iVal, even if eError doesn’t report any error. With the dispose call, the cold reset issue disappears, but I get other problems: a) If I start the runtime using systemctl start codesyscontrol, it crashes at IF hash.CountKeys() = 0 THEN b) If I delete the files in PlcLogic and download again, it works and survives multiple cold resets. But as soon as I run systemctl restart codesyscontrol, everything gets corrupted again and it starts crashing at that point. FUNCTION_BLOCK SlaveMapCounter VAR hash : COL.IMap2; eError : COL.COLLECTION_ERROR; END_VAR In its FB_Init I create it: METHOD FB_Init: BOOL VAR_INPUT bInitRetains: BOOL; // TRUE: retain variables are initialized (reset warm / reset cold) bInCopyCode: BOOL; // TRUE: the instance will be copied to the copy code afterward (online change) END_VAR VAR hF : COL.HashTableFactory; END_VAR hash := hF.Create(256); In another FB I instantiate it statically: FUNCTION_BLOCK ABSTRACT AbstractServoEthercatController EXTENDS AbstractServoController VAR_STAT hashSlaves : SlaveMapCounter; END_VAR VAR field : REFERENCE TO ADVAbstractFieldUnitEthercatCia402; initCnt : REFERENCE TO UINT; END_VAR The append method is the one shown above, and I call it after the runtime has started. The accesses are performed by a single task, and in any case I’m working on an isolated single core. I’ve tried everything, moving the create, the instances, and all the rest several times, but nothing seems to work. I’d like to point out that these FBs are part of our own library, which is used in many applications.

Hi, I'm having some trouble with an OPC client connecting to the PLC. It could be that the problem is on the client side of things. The PLC have UPS power, but the switch and OPC client does not. It could explain some of the log messages. Could any of you help debugging by the log messages in the attachment? And if possible point me to the right library that explains the different messages? Thanks for all the help.

I can also add the kernel log messages from the same time. Seems like some kind of packet storm to the PLC?

Enabling Anonymous Login 1. Navigate to 'Device' > 'Communication Settings' > 'Device'. 2. Next, click on 'Change Runtime Security Policy'. 3. In the new window, find and check the box for 'Allow anonymous login'. After completing these steps, you should be able to communicate with the OPC UA server.

When exporting a Logical Device or Logical Exchange GVL using the native XML export functionality of the CODESYS Script API, I encounter the following error upon re-import: "Error in IEnumeratorOfTWrapper. Current. Could not cast: System.String in System.Char" I am using CODESYS V3.5 SP21 Patch 2. Is there a known solution or workaround for this issue? Notably, importing the same XML file through the CODESYS Engineering IDE's menu import works without error.

Thank you for this additional information. Could you please provide the references to the official documentation where you found this information ? I got as far as: Then insert this: [SysProcess] BasePriority=Realtime Command=AllowAll devoid of references of where the CodesysContol.cfg file was located or of the need to run codesys as root I incrementally located bits of information with perplexity searches but remained mired at error 25 ERR_NO_ACCESS I am curious whether root access is MANDATORY to run SysProcessExecuteCommand (- and/or any other SysProcess functions) or if a more access-constrained User=quasiroot could suffice without the security concerns ? Apparently codesys runs fine without User=root for almost everything... That raises the question: What IS the default codesys user ? I notice in the prototypes: VAR sCommand : STRING := '/usr/bin/whoami'; sOutput : STRING(255); refCommand : REFERENCE TO STRING; refOutput : REFERENCE TO STRING; resultCmd : UDINT; END_VAR whenever I attempt to build this Codesys v3.5 SP2 whines that "cannot convert type REFERENCE TO STRING to STRING" don't remember the exact message... Apparently this happens whenever a fixed-length string is involved. if I get rid of (255) and just set the string := ' '; that is sufficient to make the compiler happy. Is this a recently enforced constraint ? Why does this compile for you and not for me ? There are references to functions / utilities which are used/needed to massage the string references - but I see no specific details... I also notice you specify: Make sure the lib SysProcessImplementation, SysTypes, and CmpErrors is on the project. I don't comprehend why all of the dependent libraries are not automatically referenced, added ? I don't recall seeing anywhere but here that SysProcessImplementation must be included... It just seems odd that the default is to exclude essential libraries, or require alchemical conjuring to assemble all the ingredients for gnat soup ;-) Thanks a lot... I'm still a codesys newby getting my wheels on - or sometimes just partially on

To search for an exact phrase, put it in quotes. Example: "getting started docs"
To exclude a word or phrase, put a dash in front of it. Example: docs -help
To search on specific fields, use these field names instead of a general text search. You can group with AND or OR.
