Post by greenwood on CODESYS Control Raspberry Pi mit Servotreiber T6 von StepperOnline ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hallo, Ich scheine den Grund gefunden zu haben, das Kabel mit dem RJ45 Stecker ist für RS232 verdrahtet (am anderen Ende des Kabels ist ein 9-poliger SUB-D Stecker, nicht wie von mir im Eingangspost behauptet ein USB Stecker). In der Anleitung des Treibers ist immer nur von RS 485 die Rede. Alerdings habe ich es gestern abend noch geschafft eine funktionierende Version der setup-software herunterzuladen, und die verbindet sich offenbar über RS232. Daraufhin habe ich mir in der Anleitung des Treibers das Pinout der RJ45 Buchse nochmal angesehen, und die hat Kontakte für RS232 und für RS485. (Die liegen jeweils ganz am Rand, so ist mir das vorher nicht aufgefallen). Ich muss also als Nächstes ein richtig verdrahtetes Kabel auftreiben, und dann sehen ob das mit dem Adapter den ich habe funktioniert. An einen Abschlusswiderstand habe ich auch schon gedacht, nur weiss ich nicht wo ich den an einem RJ45 Stecker / Buchse - Paar anbringen soll... Ich bitte um Entschuldigung für die Verwirrung, ich mache das alles zum ersten Mal und es ist ganz schön viel auf einmal für mich. Nochmal vielen Dank für die Unterstützung!

Post by trusty-squire on CNC - How to manipulate SMC_GeoInfo objects ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Sometimes you just need to pose a question on a forum and re-read it to get clarity. pGeoInfo := SMC_GetObj(poq:=ADR(fbCncInterpreter.poqDataOut), n:=1); This won't work, I'm providing a pointer to a pointer, as poqDataOut is already a pointer! I just need to remove the ADR() and it works. pGeoInfo := SMC_GetObj(poq:=fbCncInterpreter.poqDataOut, n:=1);

Hello everyone, I need to migrate my existing automation projects from ISaGRAF to CODESYS, and I'm looking for guidance and the best tools and strategies to ensure a smooth transition. Are there any reliable software tools or plugins that can help the conversion? What strategies should I adopt to maintain project integrity? Thank you for the help you can provide! Mat

Post by thewizard8 on Raspberry PI4 Serial Port ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi All, I finally figured out how to solve it. The only away that I got it to work was to define parity to None on modbus configuration, and now works like a charm. Just for the record I'm using the GPIO port pins (8,10) and a RS485 to ttl shield that you can find online. Thanks all for the support! Regards Ricardo

Post by tomas111 on Black background when loading webvisu ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Tell me, are there ways to remove the white background from the page loading? I want to change it to a black background. I think there are options with changing /home/codesys_root/PlcLogic/visu/webvisu.htm Perhaps you have already encountered a similar situation. I hope to find the answer to my question.

I need to add a button to the Visualization to close it. And create a shortcut on the Windows desktop to reopen the Visualization. This is necessary to configure, for example, a local IP address. Is this possible? What command closes the Visualization? Which program opens Visualization? System: Win10 Codesys: Control RTE V3 x64 Program: Codesys V3.5 SP20 Using only a touchscreen monitor, without keyboard and mouse.

Post by fless on SMC_NCDecoder very slow to decode lines ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, I got good results with SMC_NCDecoder, SMC_CheckVelocities, etc. in a freewheeling task with lower priority (higher number). Still takes some time but I'm using many variables and loops in my g-code and more preprocessing like SMC_SmoothPath, SMC_LimitDynamics, SMC_CheckForLimits. PS: your buffer size seems a bit high for 34 lines of g-code

Hi, For many years my application has been running on Raspberry Pi. Now I have ported the application to a PC running with Debian OS with Codesys Control for Linux SL. Most of things works. But some is wrong with serial ports. Firstly , I wonder why /etc/CODESYSControl.cfg in Debian is empty ?

Post by timvh on Leitungsverzweigung mit einem existierenden Block (z.B. AND-Glied) zu verbinden ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
If you are really happy with PLCnext engineer, then just use that. There is probably also something in CODESYS that cannot be done in PLCnext engineer. But if you are forced to make something like this in CODESYS, then maybe just use CFC instead of FBD.

Post by dkugler on EtherCAT Master: How many error frames till bus error ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
The story behind: I have had a EhterCAT fieldbus system where sometimes error frames occured. I noticed that the master is tolerant for some error frames, but if there are very much error frames the bus goes in error state. Does somebody know the limit of error frames above the bus changes to error state?

Post by morecoffee on Control for Raspberry Pi 4.17 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I am currently having the issue that Codesyscontrol only runs for 10 seconds on my Raspberry Pi 4. I believe the problem is because the MAC address range is of the Raspberry is 88:A2:9E:XX:XX:XX. When will Codesys Control For Raspberry Pi 4.17.0.0 be released to fix this issue?

Hello yann, In the past I have experimented with the execution of Linux commands using Codesys. Maybe this article helps: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/run-linux-commands-from-codesys-jouke-aalvanger When you are able to execute Linux commands in Codesys, you can run the Python script.

Hi imdatatas, thanks for your feedback. This change was intentional, as the quadratic ramp type has many advantages over the trapez ramptype. Sorry to hear it causes problems in your situation. Can you please shortly explain the nature of the problems? Best regards, Georg

Hi, I’m evaluating CODESYS for our devices. If I buy a standard runtime and the Toolkit, can I create a custom device descriptor so users can select my device (instead of just “CODESYS Control for Linux ARM64 SL”) when starting a new project? Has anyone done this or know if it’s possible? Thanks!

Post by dhumphries on Attempting customizing menus fails in LADDER environment; due to free CODESYS version ? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
You get fewer tools when you create a new POU and choose ladder diagram instead of ladder logic diagram. Create a new POU and select ladder logic diagram and you should find the additional tools you are looking for in the toolbox.

Post by manuknecht on High Cycle Times for SoftMotion_PlanningTask when using AxisGroup ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi These issues occured using a Raspberry Pi 4. I also repeated the experiment with codesys control for Windows, which results in much lower cycle times. With up to 3 ms, I still think they are fairly high given they should run at 2 ms and don't require complicated kinematics. The effect of higher cycle times for slower movements also prevails.

That definitely does the job with the Ladder Logic Diagram type; fully equipped toolbox. Just starting with Codesys and was following programming steps which explains the choice of ladder I had picked. Thanks for the tip and have a good one! Cheers!

Post by yannickasselin on Linux ARM64 SL, GPIO Access ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
A bit of work but maybe possible to make your own driver using "CODESYS Control SL Extension Package". Look at the "ExternalIoDrv" example. It is installed in "C:\Program Files\CODESYS 3.5.20.0\CODESYS\CODESYS Control SL Extension Package" when you install the "CODESYS Control for Linux SL".

Probably best to call the FB continuously. So something like this could solve it: IF xOpenLatchSettingDialog THEN xOpenLatchSettingDialog := FALSE; fbOpenLatchSettingsDialog.xExecute := TRUE; END_IF IF fbOpenLatchSettingsDialog.xDone OR fbOpenLatchSettingsDialog.xError THEN fbOpenLatchSettingsDialog.xExecute := FALSE; END_IF TopLeftDialog.iX := 100; TopLeftDialog.iY := 23; fbOpenLatchSettingsDialog( itfClientFilter:= VU.Globals.OnlyTargetVisu, sDialogName:= 'visu_AlarmLatchSettings', xModal:= TRUE, pTopLeftPosition:= ADR(TopLeftDialog) );

Could this be turned into a library? I'd love for a way to have the main program call a function block method using the program's I2C_master device. I assume I should be passing the master as a variable for the function block, but I don't see how that could be achieved
