Post by nano on Codesyscontrol.service stoppt nach 30s ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
also, wenn du noch lscpu output posten konntest, wäre das super genauso angaben über die im detail verwende pi-hw-version. das logfile sagt keine nennenswerten fehler. der logger ist wohl aber auch nicht voll aufgedreht. auch könntest du codesys via console starten im debug-mode hoerzu ins opt/codesys/bin berzeichniss wechseln und dann ./codesyscontrol -d dann spuckt codesys (weil ohne configfile gestartet, alle ausgaben in der shell. spätesrens hier sollte die ursache zu sehen sein. die 30 sekunden ohne logfile deuten darauf hin, das die runtime meint nicht auf der zielplattform installiert zu sein

Post by pmolke on Datenkonvertierung für ein SPS-AO-Modul ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hallo, du solltest dir angewöhnen Präfixe für die Datentypen zu nutzen. Dann ist das auch lesbarer. Aus value wird rValue für ein REAL oder wValue für ein WORD. Daher ist jetzt nicht ersichtlich mit welchen Datentypen du dort arbeitest und was die Bausteine an den EIN- und Ausgängen erwarten. Du kannst aber explizit eine Typkonvertierung durchführen indem du am Ausgang noch einen Baustein "TO_WORD" setzt.

Hallo pmolke vielen Dank für Deinen Hinweis. Natürlich kann man alles nachbauen, das hat Vor- aber u.U. auch Nachteile. Ich würde mir aber gerne die Macros ansehen. Hast Du einen Link? Wir wollen eine Standardlösung einsetzen, sofern sie dann funktioniert, und sind da auf dieses CodesysObjekt gestoßen. Bisher haben wir da unsere Zweifel an der Implementierung oder der Dokumentation, so werden Bereichstypen bei ganzen Zahlen scheinbar auch nicht korrekt verarbeitet.

Post by pppn on Issue with Forward Open Connections in Ethernet/IP Protocol Stack in Codesys ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I am facing an issue with my Ethernet-based project in Codesys. My product was functioning well until I modified the protocol stack and uploaded it to my device. Here are the details of my problem: Project Setup: I am working on an Ethernet-based project to test my product. The project was running without issues before modifying the protocol stack. Issue: After modifying the protocol stack and uploading it to my device, I am encountering an error in Codesys related to the forward open connections. Error status: connection failure, extended: connection in use or duplicate forward open. According to the Ethernet/IP protocol in codesys, there are three forward open connections that need to be established. The first two connections are opening without any issues. The third connection, which is an input-only connection, is causing problems. The error message indicates that the connection is already open. Debugging Attempts: I have extensively debugged the protocol stack and found no issues. The product works well when tested with EIP tools but not with Codesys. Exclusive owner connections are working correctly, and only the input-only connection is problematic. Wireshark Traces: Wireshark traces show that the third connection attempts to open but reports that it is already open. Steps to Reproduce: Modify the protocol stack and upload it to the device. Attempt to establish three forward open connections in Codesys. Observe the error on the third connection (input-only). Request: I would appreciate any suggestions or guidance on how to resolve this issue. If there are specific settings or configurations in Codesys that I need to check, please let me know. Additionally, if there are known issues or workarounds related to this problem, I would be grateful for the information.

Post by dekelec on Request for IFM ecoPlus21 installation package ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I’m looking for the ecoPlus21 development environment used with early IFM controllers (e.g., CR0020_Q firmware). We have an old project created in ecoPlus21 that cannot be opened in CoDeSys 2.3, and IFM no longer provides this software. If anyone still has the ecoPlus21 installer or knows where it can be downloaded, please let me know. It’s needed only for recovery and migration of an existing project. Thanks in advance,

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

Good day I have been asked to do a project. It is for a pharmaceutical application and data needs to be logged. The spec calls for the control system to comply with GAMP 5 and 21 CFR Part 11. From what I can find online it's got to do with electronic records and validation. Has anyone developed any software using this or are there codesys librarys that can make my life easier in writing this code

Post by alimans on High Cycle Times for SoftMotion_PlanningTask when using AxisGroup ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi Manuknecht, Did you manage to solve the problem? I’m facing the same issue with Windows RTE SoftMotion — it works fine as long as nothing else is open in Windows, but as soon as I start another application, the EtherCAT DC time and max jitter values spike, and then all axes stop. I’ve already sent a support request to CODESYS, but haven’t received a response yet.

Hello, I am using an Inovance PLC to control a servo via EtherCAT. When I enable MC_POWER, the drive switches to Run mode successfully. After that I call MC_MoveRelative, but I get the error SMC_FB_WASNT_CALLED_DURING_MOTION. The servo vibrates but the motor shaft does not move. I am new to EtherCAT/servo motion control, so I would appreciate any guidance or suggestions for troubleshooting this issue. Thank you in advance for your help.

Post by tobifenny on Modbus TLS Kommunikation ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Ich habe eine Wallbox, die ich gerne per Modbus ansteuern würde. Die Normale Modbus-Kommunikation, um ein paar Werte auszulesen klappt auch. Wenn ich aber Zugriff auf bestimmte Modbus-Register haben möchte, benötigt die Wallbox ein TLS-Zertifikat. Das Zertifikat habe ich bereits erstellt und im Security-Sreen unter Eigene Zertifikate hochgeladen. Weiter komme ich aber nicht mehr. Wie baue ich eine TLS-Verbindung mit der Waalbox auf? Vielleicht hat das ja schonmal jemand gemacht und ein Beispiel für mich. Ich bin über jede Hilfe sehr Dankbar!

I want to cancel the automatic address allocation for all IO mappings. If I directly set the automatic_iec_address in class ScriptIoMapping to False, the address becomes None. So I reset manual_iec_address with itselfs value. It only work with the Input IOMapping . For output, it reports an error: "Invalid address: The channel type 'Output' requires address type '%Q'." I checked the description file ,both accessRight are total same. Does anyone know what causes this?

Post by youness on CSVReaderInit returns error : INVALID_HANDLE ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I have Already the same problem when i'm trying to write data more than 10 times in the same file. In fact, i send my data periodicaly to a file that i configured to have permission of W/R in my CodesysContol.cfg. When the Error occurs, i must reboot my machine to success. It means that the problem isn't realted to a limitation of size, but a problem in the function supposed to handle the file. totorovic : allow me to know if you've found a solution to your problem.

Post by gseidel on MC_Phasing state explenation ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi kenth1973, MC_Phasing has been improved in recent versions. I would recommend to install the latest version of SoftMotion (4.20.1.0) and test whether the problem still exists, and if so, what the error identifier is. (Also check the PLC log in this case, it might contain additional information.) Setting the internal state of the FB is not recommended, it could lead to malfunction of the FB and unintended movements of the drive. Best regards, Georg

Post by nxbp on About Compatibility ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Let's say I have a CODESYS controller (PLC) with a runtime version around 3.5.19. If I use development software version 3.5.21.40 or a later version that will be released in the future for programming, could there be any problems or malfunctions in the controller's program execution or in the execution of the new, updated function blocks from the newer software? I mostly work with servo-based motion applications, so please keep that in mind when answering, and provide a detailed answer so I don't have to email you again about this topic.

Post by gseidel on Scara3 kinematic robot error ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi aniket-b, this error has nothing to do with the scara3 kinematics, or robotics, or SoftMotion. It means that the EtherCAT bus is not synchronized. The usual cause is that the realtime of the PLC is not sufficient. See https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20SoftMotion/_sm_basic_common_errors.html for details and ways to solve the problem. You can also check the PLC log for additional information about the error. Best regards, Georg
