Post by srinidhi on Pilz PBRT Robot with CoDeSys ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
If anyone here are working with robots and using Codesys to control it and implement tasks, Please let me know. I am currently in my Master thesis and i need some advice on this. We have Pilz Robot with Codesys and I am trying to proceed with certain tasks but have no documentation for it. Would be helpful if anyone of you can suggest and help connect with the right people.

Post by aapostolidis on _NEW when used with classes and interfaces. Interface shows "Hidden Instance" in watch. ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, im using dynamic memory allocation with the NEW()-operator. When i instanciate a class with the NEW()-operator and want to debug/watch the interface of the class, the watch is only showing "Hidden Instance" (See attached screenshot). Is there any possibility to debug the interface data ? The interface is working properly but the debugging by the watch is not possible, what is a big disadvantage. Thank you. Best Regards, Alexander

depends on if you use PFC200 SL from CODESYS store or the Wago target for the PFC. If you use the SL product you need to setup the interface by a plcshell command...

Post by yr00 on OPC UA datasource low read frequency ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello everyone, I am trying to test the OPC UA client feature in Codesys. My setup is the following; I have a Codesys simulation/ visualization running on Control Win V3. My OPC UA server is hosted on a Siemens 1518 PLC using PLCSim Advanced. The setup is completely virtual so there are no really PLCs. Everything is on my laptop. Writing data from the Codesys simualtion to the server is very quick. I have a PLC program running on another 1500 PLC which reads data from simulation via the server, and changes in the simulation (e.g. button pressed) appear within hundreds of miliseconds if not tens of miliseconds in my PLC program. However, when it comes to reading data from the OPC UA Server by Codesys, it taks around 1-2s. I connected a UAExpert client and it gets update very quickly so I am fairly sure the problem is with Codesys. I have tried changing the update rate in datasource -> General and Diagnosis, but it doesn't seem to have an effect. Do you guys have any suggestion on what I can do?

Post by felipemsgarcia on EtherCAT - Force Control Word ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
What worked for me: Use SMC_SetControllerMode and set the nControllerMode to SMC_nocontrol. With that, you can control the drive via Modes of Operation(16#6060) and Controlword(16#6040) directly. Hope that helps, Cheers!

Hi yr00, the default sampling interval is set to 1s. you can generate your own client settings, this link should help you:- https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Communication/_comm_use_dynamic_opc_ua_server_comm_settings.html
