Post by valenting on Problem with Licenced Software Metrics ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, When I try to install my codesys program with the new application-based licensing, I have an error "it exceeds the scope of the license agreement. See Device > Licensed Software Metrics" In the Licensed Software Metrics section, I see a code size < 3MB and less than 2700 variables in visualiaztions. I'm using a license "Control Basic L" with "Codesys Visualization L" option, so it should be enough with these metrics. What can I do ?

Hi, eschwellinger, I have the same problem, but I can not resolve the problem following this forum. There are my situation: pi@RevPiXXXX:~ $ uname -a Linux RevPiXXXX 5.10.120-rt70-v7l #1 SMP PREEMPT_RT Thu, 28 Jul 2022 10:36:48 +0200 armv7l GNU/Linux After "top": It looks like runtime is not running. One more piece of information to refer to, when I reboot the device it is possible to scan the device. Looking forward your reply.

Post by hjohnson123 on Automatically selecting a visualization element ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I'm looking to automatically select a text field element in my visualization. I'm not sure if this is possible, as I don't know how to get the data on specific elements. I am wanting automatic selection of the text field, as I am using a keyboard-input barcode scanner, which should always input the barcode into the text field whenever a barcode is scanned. Does anyone know if this can be done?

Post by nelsonreis on Help with IFM EcomatController CR710S in Codesys ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, Recently I bought a CR710S controller from IFM. I installed Codesys V3.5 SP11 as recommended and all required packages (including the safety packages and the IOWrapper package). However, I can't even open the project template without getting errors related to libraries failing to load (below in the first print screen). Then, clicking ok appears only 2 errors (second print) and when trying to go to simulation and login I get another 2 different errors (third print). I really appreciate any help anyone can provide, I'm completely stuck on this right now.

Post by wollvieh on License Activation Problems ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
on a raspberry pi delete the folder and its content before licensing. /var/opt/codesys/cmactlicense If you plug this SD card in another raspi ( which has another hw-serial number) you'll get a second empty softcontainer. This could lead to an unlicensed PFC (it could only handle one container) The solution is: To delete the /var/opt/codesys/cmactlicense directory and content of it and then aktivate the lizenz via WibuCmRau file and Lizenzmanager.

Post by mizi on SM_Drive_Virtual ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi I recently started learning Codesys SoftMotion. At first, I mainly used YouTube videos. I stopped at two videos where the same problem keeps recurring. fbReadPos( Axis := X_Axis, Enable := TRUE, Position => gAxes.lrActualPos); <- axis cannot move I checked the entire code line by line. Zero errors. GPT spits out nonsense, throwing up increasingly worse errors. And when I copy its code, it says the code is wrong and gets stuck in a loop of its own stupidity. Can anyone explain why it doesn't work? Link to the video below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYa2HvYZgbM&list=PLsEhEcYjG7na0OveU7cqFXBx7ATyGGn0A&index=3

Post by bertus on Axis directions in CNC editor not using right-hand rule? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, Coming from robotics, I'm used to coordinate systems using the right-hand rule. But when I created below small NC program in the Codesys CNC editor, I noticed that the axis triad's Z-axis is flipped (see attached screenshot), resulting in left-hand rule. Is there a setting to change this? Or am I misunderstanding something in the CNC world? N000 G00 X0 Y0 N010 G01 X100 N020 G01 Y50 N030 G01 X0 N040 G01 Y0 N050 G01 Z25

Can anyone shed some light on this issue im having. at random, sometimes days, sometimes weeks or months. i get this error and have to reset the plc. Im using a Weintek HMI with ethernet/ip remote io and vsd. i have tried increasing my task times and watchdogs. and when i view my PLCload in the shell its normally around 3-4%, highest ive ever seen is 7%. Nothing i do seems to help the issue. Could the HMI's Codesys CPU be getting to hot do to high ambient temp?

I also previously tried communicating with RapidSCADA and received the following error: Endpoint with the specified security options not found. And when I try to connect with "none" in the security policy, I get this error: BadSecureChannelClosed I have tried almost all the solutions available online and have not found a solution. I hope you can provide me with a solution that solves this problem. Thanks in advance

Post by lbartik on J1939 TX/RX PDU1 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Is it possible to transmit a PDU1 PGN using the J1939 manager and local device? What if I need to transmit a PGN RQST via 0xEA00 (PGN 59904)? How would I do this P2P (Destination < 0xFF) or broadcast (Destination 0xFF)? I don't think this is possible for any destination type. I don't think it's possible to receive broadcast PDU1 messages either. For example, an address claim PGN 60928 (0x18EEFF80) is addressed to all nodes (0xFF) and not any specific local device so it will be filtered out. These are major oversights in the IoDrvJ1939 library to not support every PDU1 RX/TX scenario. IoDrvJ1939 supported scenario: 1. Receive (RX) PDU1 (P2P) destination-specific (PDU-specific < 255) to local device with matching address IoDrvJ1939 unsupported scenarios: 1. Receive (RX) PDU1 (P2P) global (PDU-specific = 255) 2. Transmit (TX) PDU1 (P2P) global (PDU-specific = 255) 3. Transmit (TX) PDU1 (P2P) destination-specific (PDU-specific < 255)

Post by pra83 on CODESYS SoftRedundancy — Both PLCs stay standalone after network interruption — Auto recovery not working ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, We are facing a critical issue with CODESYS SoftRedundancy that we have been unable to resolve despite extensive troubleshooting. HARDWARE: 2× HP EliteDesk 800 G9 SFF Intel Core i7-14700 (20 cores) 16GB RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 NIC1: Built-in Intel GbE NIC2: Intel I210-T1 PCIe (NIC team) SOFTWARE: CODESYS Control Win V3 - x64 Version 3.5.22.10 CODESYS SoftRedundancy SL Server 1 IP: 172.10.10.101 (PLC1 — Active) Server 2 IP: 172.10.10.102 (PLC2 — Standby) CURRENT CODESYSControl.cfg: [CmpRedundancy] BootupWaitTime=120000 StandbyWaitTime=12100 SynchronousTimeout=12100 [CmpSchedule] ProcessorLoad.Maximum=80 WatchdogTime=12000 WatchdogTimeoutAction=0 CONFIRMED WORKING: PLC1/PLC2 identification configured via IDE Connection IP configured via IDE AutoSync enabled and written via IDE Normal Active/Standby operation working Server 2 auto-promotes when Server 1 completely fails PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When NIC1 cable is removed from Server 1 — both servers go to standalone mode. When NIC1 cable is reconnected — both servers remain in standalone indefinitely. Neither server auto-recovers to Active/Standby without manual CODESYS service restart. AutoSync fires (!!! Autosync !!! visible in log) but recovery does not complete. Tested with direct cable (no NIC team) — same result. Confirmed not a hardware or NIC teaming issue. KEY LOG MESSAGES: "Timeout: No sync message RMSG_StartCycle (5) from master: Standalone" "Socket on other side closed gracefully 0" "Standby PLC: Open acyclic work socket failed" "Connection broke after 11806ms. Check BootupWaitTime." Autosync(fires but does not complete recovery) PCAP ANALYSIS (Wireshark): CODESYS sync stops completely at T+3s Server 1 sends TCP FIN on ports 1206 and 1208 at T+5s No CODESYS redundancy traffic for remaining 24 seconds Both servers stay standalone indefinitely WHAT WE HAVE TRIED: StandbyWaitTime = 12100ms SynchronousTimeout = 12100ms WatchdogTime = 12000ms (less than StandbyWaitTime) AutoSync enabled NIC2 set as Standby adapter Disabled Windows Network Discovery Direct cable test — rules out NIC hardware QUESTION: Per official CODESYS documentation: "No automatic Reconnect is included in the functional scope of the redundancy components. You can program the triggering of a reconnect." Is RDCY.Synchronize() the correct function to add to our application for automatic recovery after both PLCs go standalone? What is preventing auto-recovery when AutoSync is enabled and PlcIdent is correctly set? Thank you for your support.

Post by rajatdas2005 on Codesys Virtual control SL ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Dear All, This is regarding Codesys Virtual control SL demo version. I am facing one issue. First I will describe the steps what I have followed till now. 1. In a PC I have Windows OS. Here Codesys IDE is installed, and also using the installer option of IDE I have also installed Codesys Virtual control SL. 2. A edge-gateway is also running in the same windows PC as local host. 3. Next I have a seperate PC with Ubuntu OS with docker installed. This machine is in the same network. 4. Now I have created a project in Windows machine using device "Codesys Virtual control SL". 5. In the Ubuntu machine I am running the Codesys Virtual control SL as docker and it is using the ubuntu machine network only. 6. Next using the localhost edge-gateway when I am searching the virtual control SL docker it is able to detect it. (screenshot attached) 7. But after creating the creadentials it is telling No Device is responding. 8. I have also checked the wireshark logs and able to see that in destination port 11740 data is coming. 9. From windows PC telnet ip 11740 is also working. 10. Ping is also working ===========================================LOGS ========================= sudo ss -tlnp | grep -E "(443|1217|4840|8080|11740)" LISTEN 0 10 10.135.114.142:4840 0.0.0.0: users:(("codesyscontrol.",pid=41864,fd=21)) LISTEN 0 10 172.18.0.1:4840 0.0.0.0: users:(("codesyscontrol.",pid=41864,fd=24)) LISTEN 0 10 172.17.0.1:4840 0.0.0.0: users:(("codesyscontrol.",pid=41864,fd=23)) LISTEN 0 10 127.0.0.1:4840 0.0.0.0: users:(("codesyscontrol.",pid=41864,fd=26)) LISTEN 0 10 192.168.122.1:4840 0.0.0.0: users:(("codesyscontrol.",pid=41864,fd=22)) LISTEN 0 5 0.0.0.0:11740 0.0.0.0: users:(("codesyscontrol.",pid=41864,fd=20)) LISTEN 0 128 0.0.0.0:8080 0.0.0.0: users:(("python3",pid=1280,fd=4)) LISTEN 0 10 172.19.0.1:4840 0.0.0.0: users:(("codesyscontrol.",pid=41864,fd=25))
