Post by kbazzett on "Sequent Microsystems" industrial automation hat raspberry pi ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Here is a complete list of the Sequent Microsystems Pi hats that work in Codesys. https://github.com/SequentMicrosystems/SM_CODESYS/tree/main/ "For easy install download the .package file and open it on your computer, Codesys installer will know what to do with it." <- This. The Multi I/O Hat fit my needs because of the Analog I/O 4-20ma and RTD. I used a Raspberry Pi 5 and 64b install. The example project is also worth the download. With the sample project open, right click on the Raspberry Pi device and update to whatever you are using (SL, MC, 64b). Enable I2C on the PI. You can jumper the hats Analog Outputs to Inputs and see it function on the Web Visualization. Very Cool! I spent quite a bit of time trying to find this solution so hopefully this update helps others. Here is the video link on how to setup a Raspberry PI as a Codesys PLC https://youtu.be/RPoPscbo3Kc?si=Th4-n-mQ6g5fdHj8

Post by peterkcontrols on TargetVisu started in windowed or not full screen ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Thanks for the response. I have found this file in two places, I have updated the text in both but it didnt work. Am I missing something on the Codesys side. How do you restart the soft plc, I have been stopping it and starting it. The Visu screen come up but still in full screen mode. Here are the two locations of this file: C:\Program Files\Codesys Control\GatewayPLC\AppDataFiles\CODESYSControlWinV3x64 and C:\Program Files\CODESYS 3.5.20.50\GatewayPLC\AppDataFiles\CODESYSControlWinV3x64 Here is the contents of targetvisuextern.cfg [ComponentManager] [CmpTargetVisu] ; The Window... settings can be used for displaying the targetvisualization in a window instead of fullscreen WindowType=0 WindowPositionX=0 WindowPositionY=0 WindowSizeWidth=1024 WindowSizeHeight=768 HideCursorCompletely=1 [SysWindow] ;Windows.CloseOnAltF4=0 ;Windows.CloseOnWM_CLOSE=0 [CmpLog] ;Logger.0.Name=TvExtLogger ;Logger.0.Enable=1 ;Logger.0.MaxEntries=1000 ;Logger.0.MaxFileSize=5000 ;Logger.0.MaxFiles=3 ;Logger.0.Backend.0.ClassId=0x0000010B ;sends logger messages to SysOut ;Logger.0.Backend.1.ClassId=0x00000104 ;writes logger messages in a file ;Logger.0.Backend.2.ClassId=0x00000135 ;sends logger messages as UDP syslog

Crafting my Fellowship Personal Statement was like weaving the threads of my aspirations into a tapestry of words. Each sentence became a brushstroke, painting a vivid portrait of my journey and ambitions. Beyond being just a document, it became a mirror reflecting the depth of my experiences. Like a conductor guiding an orchestra, my personal statement was composed to resonate with my unique voice. In the realm of specialized opportunities, this statement serves as a compass, guiding me toward the next chapter of my professional growth. With each word, I felt the guidance of mentors shaping my story into an eloquent narrative.

Post by tvm on Web Client (HMI) Disconnects from Webvisu (Weidmuller u-OS) ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
ok, that's different than our issue then. We're using Schneider Electric M262 PLCs, and we've had it where certain web browsers cause the web server to only allow https connections, but it's not recoverable with a refresh. It usually requires a power cycle or even a full firmware flash. Your issue might have more to do with the timing. I don't know if it helps you, but we normally run our visu task at 200mS, with an update rate of 200mS. Seems to work. I went through this: https://faq.codesys.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=112525371 but it really seems like trial and error.

Post by manuknecht on Specify Input Configuration "OnDialogClosed" Action to only react to certain Dialogs ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I have a project with several buttons and dialogs. Most of the dialogs are opened using the Open Dialog action of the Input configuration of the buttons. Some dialogs are openend using the FbOpenDialogExtended FB of the Visu Utils library and the FbOpenDialogExtended FB is called in the Execute ST-Code action. I am also using the FileOpenSave dialog from Visu Dialogs which requires an OnDialogClosed action to read out. I realized that the OnDialogClosed action which is meant for the FileOpenSave dialog also triggers if a dialog is closed, which was previously openend using the FbOpenDialogExtended FB. Is there a way to detect which dialog was closed last and specify to which dialogs the OnDialogClosed action reacts?

Post by macros8 on Alarm Management - latched variable represented as Text list ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, I haven´t noticed you put the comment here. I thing it´s a bit different. What I want is to have detail errors of technology in data type e.g. INT. This variable I would latch to the corresponding error msg but I would like to get it convert to text from the text list and not keep it in INT form. Example. Main error Valve Error: SubErrors 1 - Both sensors 2 - Not retracted in time 3 - Not pulled out in time In HMI Main error + latch SubErrors => "Valve Error: Both sensors" The benefit is that text lists are part of translation and can be easily manipulated. I know I can create whole string msg in PLC but then, it lose advantage of Alarm management. Thanks. M.

Post by dkugler on Management of a PLC network from a remote station ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I would figure out, how to create a simple html webpage with 2 frames. One frame with buttons to select the plc. A second frame with hyperlink to the webvisu of the plc ("XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:8080/webvisu.htm"). Selecting other PLC Button has to change the hyperlink in 2. frame. Costs only some time to figure out :-) Or setup a raspberry Pi with small visualization. Set up a button for each plc and add one browser element. Each button writes the URL of the depending plc to the URL setting of the browserelement. Costs 55€ for runtime licence and a Raspberry Pi.

Post by installwhat on IDialogOpenedListener ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Why do you develop things like this? The workflow should be highly dependent on autocomplete, then if that's not super obvious browse to definition and everything is made clear possibly with the checking of a few types. The nature of how things are done makes me think these libraries aren't developed for general use and are actually internal or for partners. The example projects include objects that don't appear in autocomplete and then lead nowhere obvious when browsing. Do you consider developer workflow when creating these libraries? Are some libraries really for public use such as Visu Utils and others not? If so which? It's really hard to tell.

Post by yoeri on Refresh visulization realtime ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi everyone, I need some help with displaying an image (test.png) on my device. Initially, showing the image is straightforward. However, I want to be able to update the image dynamically. My goal is to send updated files via FTP to the device, and have the display automatically show the latest version of the image. All images will be sent with the same name (e.g., test.png). Currently, I can see the updated image after sending it via FTP and performing a warm restart, but I'd like to achieve this in runtime, without having to restart the display or application. Does anyone have suggestions on how to implement this? Thanks in advance!

Post by pernockham on Slider instance value when accessed through "execute ST-code" ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I have a time which I want to modify with a slider. I have confirmed it is possible to set the value of the slider by to_real(time) (I can see that the slider changes according to 'my_time_value's value). Slider variable: to_real(my_time_value); However I fail to access the current slider instance value when I want to write back the value as time (write to a variable will not work as I need a type-conversion before assignment). my_time_value := to_time(slider-instance-value); I tried with this^.? but could not see anything interesting and also THIS^.GEN_Instance.? but nothing resemble what could be the sliders value. Anyone that knows? Thanks!

Post by rshabsh on Using Latch Variable in Alarm as input from text list ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I am currently utilizing Alarm Manager’s Latch Variable 1 to display additional information related to alarms. However, instead of mapping this latch variable to a fixed PLC variable, I would like to dynamically update its text content based on the selected language in the system. To achieve this, I am considering using a text list that corresponds to different languages rather than directly linking Latch Variable 1 to a PLC variable. This approach would allow the displayed alarm information to be automatically translated according to the active language setting. Could you please confirm if this method is feasible within the Alarm Manager configuration? Additionally, if there are specific steps or best practices to follow when implementing this functionality, I would appreciate any guidance you can provide. Looking forward to your insights.

Post by anlebr on Alarm group template - Is it not possible with several instances? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi In the POU section of my project I have created a Fan function block and defined an alarm group template for this FB with one alarm (Motor fault). In the PLC program I define two instances of the fan function block. When going to the alarm configuration and pressing "Create or update alarm instances", I get two alarms listed. So far so good. However, when I start my program and check the alarm table in the visualization I only see one alarm, even if both are active. Am I doing something wrong, or is it not possible to define alarms on a function block level and get one set of alarms per instance of the function block?

Post by ameba on PersistentVars and Webvisu Element ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
hello everyone I would like to try to better understand how persistent variables work. I created some boolean variables in the PersistentVars section initialized to the value TRUE. I have tied these boolean variables to toggle switches placed inside the HMI interface pages. Once the PLC program is started, the lever selectors, if operated, change their state, at least at a graphical level, but the persistent variables do not undergo any variation. Initially the above variables were declared as simple global variables, in this case the operation with the levers was correct; I then tried to transform them into persistent ones with the aim of using them as "settings saver" Thank you for support Bye

Post by durallymax on Dynamical scaling of bar graph without the bar itself ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I'm a fan of the analog indicators from ISA101. To recreate these, I use a number of rectangles that are dynamically sized and colored based on the input configuration. To keep it standard and easy, everything is built around 100px height. Then when instantiated in a frame, it can be resized as needed with the math remaining the same. The math logic is in a METHOD called by the rear most rectangle. These indicators do not use a "filling" bar graph, rather a fixed bar graph with a carrot to track the current value.

Post by alsiddhartha on TextList name error (fake) ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I’m developing a program and for some reason I got this error: C0193: Name '2,Recipe #2GVL' is no valid identifier I was creating a combo box and creating a TextList for my recipe. I couldn't find where the error was, until in the combo box properties in the 'Text List' property in the options it gives me to select, I found '2,Recipe #2' to be able to select (I never created a list with this name) and I can't find a way to delete that option or I can't find where that list is. I tried to delete the TextLists, delete the combo box, to clean the project, but the error still there. How can I delete this option (2,Recipe #2)? Or how can I fix this error?** Thank you.

Post by dkugler on Webvisu Combined Authentication ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
you are able to do this all in one screen. It is possible to set the rights of every element to visible but not editable for the user "none". so everyone is able to see this elements, but can't do any changes. At the login button you set the rights to editable for the user "none" to be able to go to the login. Every element that should be hidden before logging in, set the rights visible and editable only for "higher" users. Hint: to change rights you are able to select more then one element and edit rights for all at the same time. Saves a lot of time! Good luck!

Post by macros8 on Translation - How to get text as reference in Frames translated? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, thanks for the link. Maybe I create elements in incorrect way. I always use Interface Editor to create variables which are used inside element (see pics). After that I place element in my visu and use Reference property to link variable or set the value. In that case the value of string is not transferred to general text list for translation as I mentioned before. Do I have to all properties which influence behavior of my element create in Frame configuration instead? What´s the difference to the Interface editor? Thanks a lot. M.

Post by ignat on Change date range of Trend ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi ryusoup, looking for the same functionality. I tried to use your code but couldn't figure out all the details. to enable Listener should it be called once or cyclically? the listener should be called with the intance of FB which you described? should it be this instance to be called cyclically too? I tried to make it simpler, just force the uiYear/uiMonth etc. but couldn't make it work. Could you please share some details how the whole struckture looks like? Would be great if you share an example UPD: found the issue. Your code works. Thanks for the posts

Post by nmcc on Viewing PDF in WebBrowser Visual Element ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I am trying to show a PDF in a WebBrowser element. I have the file saved to the drive of the HMI/PLC. I am linking it in the URL parameter of the WebBrowser using the following directory link. 'http://localhost:8080/$$sdcard$$/FileName.pdf'. This allows for the program to download without any errors. When I navigate to that screen it is just a white box and nothing shows. I attempted putting the same link in the show parameter and I get a loading icon on my cursor when monitoring the HMI with my PC. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Post by struccc on Release SP20 - Changes in behaviour? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
This... is not very practical for me - as I have a bunch of different classes - it's just doesn't seems to be very practical to define a NULL for each of them... Something like this I use in parameter definitions. For example: VAR_INPUT refVFD_Drive : REFERENCE TO FB_VFD_Drive := GVL_DUMMY.Dummy_VFD; END_VAR I use this to prepare objects for code I don't control: Typycally visualizations - had many troubles with references set on the fly, right before opening a corresponding visualization... And yes, the instance in GVL_Dummy reports itself as "Fake", so it does not influence the actual application at all. Actually this way I could invalidate a reference, just to set it to a "Dummy" instance.

Post by pernockham on Trend legend naming and access/config to/of trend/legend-variables ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Trying the web-version of trend-data. This seems to be a impressive tool, but I lack/cant find a number of what I would think are important parts. There does not seem to be a way to get away from the dot.notated variable naming in the legend.. A developer might want the dot-notation but an end-customer will surely not. For instance I want to display 12 temperatures, instead of t1, t2 etc.. they will be named. gvl_io.unit[1].trend.temps.t1_a gvl_io.unit[1].trend.temps.t1_b gvl_io.unit[1].trend.temps.t1_c gvl_io.unit[1].trend.temps.t2_a .. gvl_io.unit[1].trend.temps.t4_b.. gvl_io.unit[1].trend.temps.t4_c.. Quite a lot of unnecessary text/data taking space from the actual trend => Is there a way to access/interface the legend-data programmatically so I can change the presentation/naming?
