Post by reiterf on Visualisierungs-Stil White style, 3.5.16.0 verursacht Überseztungsfehler ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, ich möchte ein kleine Testaufbau viualisieren und hätte mich für den Stil "White" entschieden. nun ist es allerdings so daß dieser Stiel einige fehler beim übersetzen erzeugt. Ich habe dann versicht auf den Basic-Style zurückzugehen -- dann sind auch die Fehler weg. Leider wird dann aus der WebVisu (nur am Gerät) kein Druckknopf mehr angezeigt. Ich habe die gleichen Fehler auf 2 Codesys-Installationen (Gleicher Software Stand, 2 PCs) Kann mir da jemand weiterhelfen? ... ich Konnte den Fehler zwar nicht finden aber durch eine Komplette Deinstallation von Codesys und Übertragung der Projektdaten in ein neues Projekt ist der Fehler verschwunden. danke

Post by bingo on PLC Shell commands via ST Code ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Suppose you need to switch PLC IP dynamically between 192.168.1.10\192.168.2.10, First, set PLC IP to 192.16.1.10. Create a PGVL with a flag ‘xUseSecondry’ xUseSecondry : bool ; create a function that use socket to update IP: FUNCTION fSwitchIP : bool VAR_INPUT useMainIP:bool; END_VAR --------------------------------CODE------ if useMainIP then SysSockSetIPAddress(‘0’, ‘192.168.1.10’); PGVL.xUseSecondry := 0; else SysSockSetIPAddress(‘0’, ‘192.168.2.10’); PGVL.xUseSecondry := 1; end_if Now, if during execution, you need to switch IP, call the function ‘fSwitchIP()’, Set input to 1 for main IP, 0 for secondary IP. In order to set secondary IP at startup, you can do the following: in your PLC_PRG add a flag: xInit : bool := 1 ; and the code: if xInit then if PGVL.xUseSecondry then fSwitchIP(0); end_if xInit := 0 ; end_if *Alternative way is to use system events.

Post by pernockham on Inheritence of struct, ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Apparently my construction will not work as any of the sub-types are not be able to accept any (further) value-initiation. Ie: string_item : log_data_base := (string_value := 'test', val_type := STRING_); is not eq to (the string_value will not be assigned): string_item_2 : log_data_string := (string_value := 'test'); Because effectively for the compiler this is eq. to a "double" assignment where the compiler sees only the first assignment (my guess). string_item_2 : log_data_base := (val_type := STRING_) := (string_value := 'test'); Im not sure this should be treated as a bug, but it would surely be nice to be able to use this construction (compiler is 3.5.20.40). Anyone see any other alternative for solution (other than 4 complete STRUCTS with all fields individually defined)?

Post by timvh on Problem Reading Registers via Modbus from non Codesys device ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
According to the documentation: https://wiki.teltonika-networks.com/view/RUT956_Modbus You need to create a Channel to read 2 registers from address 143 to get the lattitude. It doesn't specify if you need to read it as a Holding Register or as an Input Register. You could try both. So in the Teltonika router, you need to enable it as being a Modbus Server. Then in CODESYS add an Ethernet Adapter, then a Modbus Client (Master) and to the Client (Master) add the Modbus Server (Slave). Set the IP address and add the Channel. The please consider that CODESYS doesn't update any variables when they are not used in the application. In the I/O mapping tab of your I/O configuration, you can set the "Always update" to enabled.

Post by trusty-squire on AXIS Rollover ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
If you mean you want to shift the Origin or Zero position of your axis, you can try MC_SetPosition and set the position to 0 (if you want to take the current active position and make it the new 0. Adjust this number accordingly if/as needed). This means the servo drive keeps it's current origin position, and Codesys applies an offset to the servo drive position in the logic. You can also use the homing function of your servo drive using MC_Home and have your drive configured to set the current position as origin when it receives a homing command.

Post by dkugler on HMI über Webbrowser ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Auf die Schnelle fällt mir keine Möglichkeit ein, wie die Webvisu aus dem WebBrowser heraus den PC auf dem der Browser läuft, direkt beeinflussen, sprich herunterfahren könnte. Die Webvisu ist ja letztlich nichts anderes, als eine HTML Seite, die im Browser angezeigt wird. Als einzige Lösung fällt mir der file transfer (Beispiel findest du hier https://content.helpme-codesys.com/de/CODESYS%20Examples/_ex_visu_logging_of_variable_value_changes-1799730.html) ein. Du könntest über einen Button in der Visu z.B. eine Datei shutdown.txt von der PLC an den IPC senden. Auf dem IPC müsste dann entsprechend ein Dienst laufen, der zyklisch schaut: Datei shutdown.txt vorhanden, wenn ja, Datei löschen und IPC herunterfahren. Viel Erfolg!

Post by twofacexx on Package Sound Demo funktioniert nicht ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Moin, ich grab mal den alten Thread hier aus, habe das gleiche Vorhaben, Sounds auf dem Raspberry abzuspielen. Habe einen Pi5 mit Codesys Pi 64 SL und benutze auch die SysProcessExecuteCommand sowie die SysProcessExecuteCommand2. Habe das auch schon erfolgreich umgesetzt um Kamerabilder aufzunehmen und Bilder zu kopieren, aber die Sounds funktionieren leider nicht. Wenn ich direkt in der Konsole die Befehle eingebe, werden die Sounds abgespielt, werden diese aber durch Codesys getriggert, wird kein Sound abgespielt. Ich habe bis jetzt - espeak - espeak-vg - aplay - omxplayer versucht. Alle in die CodesysControl_User.cfg eingetragen etc und keine Fehlermeldung beim ausführen. Habe BT Headset und USB Headset getestet, wie gesagt, direkt in der Konsole gehts, durch Codesys nicht. Hat irgend jemand eine Idee woran es liegen könnte?

Post by r-c-r on SM3RaspiStepper 0.0.0.6 issue ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I noticed that version 0.0.0.6 is now available, so I tested it using CODESYS V3.5 SP19 Patch 7 and SoftMotion 4.17.0.0. While the project compiles and downloads without issues, I encountered a problem with the 'Enable: GPIO pin number that is set when the axis is enabled (with MC_Power) (0: not used)' functionality — it no longer works (HIGH level not present at the output pin). I observed the same behavior with version 0.0.0.5, whereas version 0.0.0.4 functions correctly. Could you help me identify what might be causing this issue or suggest how to resolve it? Thanks.

Now I want to move this to codesys. What I need is a simple way to open, close, save, edit the machine file in codesys visualisation. I want to use the fileOpenSave dialog. But don't understand how it works. I have the file transfer example and some other examples. But it is hard to figure out how the part with the file dialog works so that you can select a folder or file. Does someone know how that works?

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 pernockham on How to manage soft container licenses for (remote) multi units? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Using Codesys runtime for Linux and thinking of the process of preparing multiple such systems for my customer. I don't necessarily have physical access to these units, they can be (very) remote. The idea so far is to use an image to install the Linux OS and codesys runtime. Application updates can be done by distribution of the PlcLogic/Application/application.app and application.crc files. But whats the most practical way of managing the license for these units? Do each controller need to be physically connected to a License Manager instance or can licenses be distributed by means of a license file for each unit? I believe that the license should be stored in soft containers for each unit. Help and insights appreciated! Per

Post by bjarne-pagaard on Global Variables ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Old thread, I know - but it still has good answers. I would like to add a bit of info to it, as I was having a problem that lead me to this thread, but didn't give an exact answer. I am porting a project to a different PLC architecture. (Wago PFC300) A GVL named 'GVL' in the POUs section of my project was shadowed by a PLC-specific library in the Application->Library Manager. So all the existing references in the device specific code to 'GVL.something' would not resolve. Right-clicking the GVL in the code and 'Go to definition' would point me to the library in the Application Library Manager. All I had to do from there, was right-click the library, and set the property 'Only allow qualified access to all identifiers' in the library.

Post by elsmart on Sequential read and triggering of Modbs RTU channels in application ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello I need some help understanding how to use Modbus RTU (COM port) in Codesys enviroment. I defined a Modbus Server device (slave) in device tree and added some channels to read from (function 3). Also I set trigering mode to Application. I have a POU in which I want to trigger each channel one after the other something like this (C code for better visualisation): for (int i = 0; i < channelsCount; i++) { triggerChannel(channelsArray[i]); // Start transmission while(channel.xBusy); // Wait for transmission to complete } I have found ModbusChannel function block documentation but examples are scarce. I don't understand how rising edge triggering works. What would be the best solution for achieving sequntial channel triggering? What is the common way to read multiple Modbus channels once every time a specified POU is executed?

Post by abuckie on Getting raw value as full resolution for ADS1115 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I just found this and I am getting a value larger than 16 bit, around 81000 something. I am reading a 5 volt value and I am using level shifters for the i2c bus. This is how I have the channel configured: ADS1115.usiAddress := 16#48; ADS1115.ChannelConfigs[0].Active := TRUE; ADS1115.ChannelConfigs[0].PGA := FSR_6144mV; ADS1115.ChannelConfigs[0].InputMux := Single_0; RawAnalogValue := ADS1115.Channels[0].Value; It looks like every value is a multiple of 3. Any idea where to look to fix this? I think i found what I want to change in UpdateChannels Channels[FChannelNo].Value := INT_TO_REAL(WORD_TO_INT(LValue) * GetFullScaleRange(ChannelConfigs[FChannelNo].PGA)) / 2048.0; I try to edit it but I can't, sorry if this is a basic question, I am new to CODESYS.

Post by qkkk on Device Scan ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello all, I have developed a custom I/O driver in CODESYS that communicates via a Unix Domain Socket. In my DeviceDescription.xml, I have set up the following: <scan supported="true"> <scanfbinstance fbname="IOScanDevice"> The goal is to allow the user to scan for connected I/O modules from the CODESYS GUI ("Scan for Devices") and automatically populate the device tree with detected submodules.</scanfbinstance></scan> The function block IOScanDevice is implemented in the driver library and added to the main device's FB instances. However, when I initiate the scan from the GUI, nothing appears to happen the function is not executed. Is there an example project or driver (open source or from CODESYS Forge) that demonstrates a working custom scan implementation?

Post by tk096 on Max lines of code, codesys CNC ? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, this is a bug in CODESYS Softmotion. Due to this bug the size is limited to a maximum of 32767 elements. However, we recommend to use way smaller buffer sizes. You could use a small buffer (it should be big enough so that it does not run empty when the interpolator processes the elements). In the beginning you fill the buffer in PLC_PRG until it is full. Afterwards, you start the interpolator. The interpolator processes the elements and removes them as soon as it travels past them. In PLC_PRG you check whether new elements can be stored in the buffer (NOT QUEUE.bFull). If the buffer has space, you generate the next elements and add them to the buffer (SMC_AppendObj()). I hope this helps you.

Post by levih on FbHTTPs_Get how to get data from a website and use it in codesys ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
You get an array of DWORD into your receive buffer. You need to process this into usable data, before you can fit it into your DUT. I've made it work using FbWrite_ToIEC_ByRule in stead of Fb_JSON_ParseAndModify. I've attached images of the code. You receive the data into ARRAY[0..1023] OF DWORD. Then you use that array as the input for fbWrite_ToIEC_ByRule. To get the output from this you define a rule to fit the expected data structure including nesting levels. The you feed the rule into FbWrite_ToIEC_ByRule and then you can set the output to be of your DUT type.

Post by dkugler on CoDeSys V3.5.19.7 Code erzeugen dauert extrem lange ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Ich hatte einige Jahre Codesys in einer VM laufen. Das habe ich vor allem wegen den sehr langen Compilierungs- und "Projekt speichern"-Zeiten wieder aufgegeben. Mein Hauptprojekt hat eine Größe von 14MB, erzeugter Code ist bei 20MB und enthält über 50 Visualisierungsseiten. Bei mir dauert das Code erzeugen mit SP20 P4 ca. 1 Minute. Mein Laptop ist ein i7 3.1GHz 16BG RAM und 5-6 Jahre alt, also wahrlich keine Rennmaschine. Ich denke dass die Übersetzungszeit extrem vom Projekt, den notwendigen Bibliotheken, Virenscanner(temporär abschalten, besser? schlechter? gleich?), gleichzeitig laufende Windows-Programme etc. abhängt. Ich schließe generell während dem Programmieren alle anderen nicht absolut notwendigen Anwendungen, um Codesys den Zugriff auf möglichst viel RAM und CPU-Leistung zu ermöglichen. Viel Erfolg bei der Suche nach dem Flaschenhals!

I did some test and realized that i must use a Row Selection variable to change from 0 to 1. With this change of Row selection, then the row 1 will show up.
