Good night. I am having a problem with CODESYS 3.5.11.40, which gives the exception EXCEPTION [ProcessorLoadWatchdog]. I followed some forum posts and tried to modify the CODESYSControl.cfg file, but it shows: [SysFile] Windows.WorkingDirectory=C:\ProgramData\CODESYS\CODESYSControlWinV3\D5050FE1 Then I go to this directory and try to modify CODESYSControl.cfg according to the forums, but it doesn’t work: [CmpSchedule] ;EnableLogger=0 ProcessorLoad.Maximum=80 ;Timeslicing.Mode=Internal ;Timeslicing.PlcSlicePercent=80 ;Timeslicing.PlcSliceUs=4000 ;Timeslicing.StartOnProcessorLoad=1 ;SchedulerPriority=5 ;SchedulerInterval=1000 I tried to change ProcessorLoad.Maximum to 0 or 100, but it doesn’t compile when I try. I really don’t know what to do,

Hi all! I'm trying to learn PLC Programing. Today I was making a simple PLC program, as you can see. When I compile the program without the visualization, there are no errors. However, when I add the visualization and then compile it, I get this error. I don’t know how to solve the problem. I have tried the following solutions: rebooting the PC and updating the software.

Hallo zusammen, ich habe nach einem PC-tausch Probleme mit dem Versenden von Mails. Ich Nutze dazu die die Bibliothek Mail_Service_SL 1.12.0.0. Codesys ist die Version 3.5 SP21 Patch 2. Als Mailserver benutze ich Gmail. Als SMTP habe ich smtp.gmail.com eingetragen und Port 25 oder 465 oder 587 getestet. Connection Typ ist TLS und StartTLS ist true. Wenn ich eine Mail senden will, bekomme ich ein Timeout Fehler. In der Firewall habe ich die Ports alle Freigegeben. Unter Windows 10 hat das auch noch so funktioniert. Mit Windows 11 klappt es nicht mehr. Hat jemand eine Idee, woran das liegen kann?

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?

Post by pernockham on Trend legend naming and access/config to/of trend/legend-variables ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
There seems to have been included an updated in the last release 4.9.0.0 or am I wrong (I think I tried out these settings previously without giving the result I wanted contrary to what I see today)? Now an empty check box for "display variable name" is effective, and will present the Variable with the "Description" instead. Perfect! Seems to be some minor formatting still that needs adjustment. See attached screenshot. The apostrophe "'" between "description" I suppose should not be there? Also I guess the same apostrophe (although not visibly shown) gives an extra space between the variable-description and the ":"?? Thanks!

Post by pernockham on Unable to deploy "Control for Linux SL 4.18.0.0" ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
The option to update "Control for Linux SL" is not shown in the "deploy control SL tool", I can see and update the gateway but not the control (3.5.21 SP4). Has the way to update control SL changed? In the process of fault finding I removed the control SL entirely from my target, then I had to revert to version 3.5.21.0 SP 1 to re-install "Control SL 4.17.0.0". So I thought it was just a matter of using SP1 to update also to 4.18.0.0, but after installing the files for 4.18.0.0 in the SP1-version, the behavior was identical to SP4, ie no Control for Linux SL shown in the deploy tool.. See screenshots.

Post by mattkaree on Mapping values with etherCAT mailbox communication ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I am using a WAGO PFC200 PLC as an etherCAT master and a Keyence IV3-G120 with DL-EC1A attached as an etherCAT slave. I am using CODESYS V3.5 SP21 Patch 3. I was able to set up mailbox communication and can see values changing accordingly, but I want to know how I can map these values and reference them in my program. I am able to map the process data objects in the 'EtherCAT I/O Mapping' tab, but there is no where to map the mailbox values in the 'CoE Online' tab. Is there a way I can reference one of these values in my code?

Post by kporter on Codesys EtherCAT Driver (CmpEt1000MPD) can't set MAC address ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
EtherCAT is a point-to-point protocol so it doesn't need a unique MAC address. It would be very useful to set the MAC address to 020000000000, the standard address for this kind of application. (The important bit is the 02 at the start of the address, which means locally-administered MAC.) The stock Windows driver can do this for my i210 card. But the CODESYS CmpEt1000MPD driver cannot. The image shows the setting with the Windows driver. If I set all my customers' cards to this address, then I don't need to deal with this when deploying my application. A simple PowerShell script can be used to set the MAC address once when the NIC is installed and the driver is changed.

Post by konstantin on Lenze i950 Servo and WAGO PFC200 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, basically the i950 drive support CiA402 Basic and CiA402 Advanced modes. I attached pictures of both mode supported functions. It also support CSP, VL, CSV and CST modes. It seems the homing mode is in CiA402 Advanced mode but how can you not have the homing mode in both modes? It is a vital part of any servo system. If I use the SoftMotion standard demo mode, I can move the servo absolute and relative but cannot home it. But in SoftMotion Light mode, I cannot execute any motion function. Here is the official manual for i950 servo drive - i950 Documentation Best Regards Konstantin Kolev

And the strange thing for me is that if i connect with an older IDE version (where I only have 4.17.0.0 installed) I can see both "CODESYS Control for Linux SL" and "CODESYS Edge Gateway for linux". And that I loose (both presence and possibility to update) the first option (Control SL) if i let the updater install "Control for linux SL" vers. 4.18.0.0 or later. (Note that runtime 4.17.0.0 is installed and it is running and I can login to that system, but no apparent option available to update it to 4.19.0.0).

Post by yannickasselin on Question about Demo License limitations for Modbus TCP communication and Fieldbus Instances ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
As far as I know, there is no other limitations than the 2 hours limit. The demo mode should be plenty enough for testing purposes. Regarding instances. In the device tree, 1 master = 1 instance, no matter how many slaves the master is communicating with. But it is also possible that your Codesys runtime act as a slave. In this case, each slave in the device tree is one instance. You can also use the license metric tool in the IDE. This will tell you exactly how many instances you have in your project. https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Development%20System/_cds_edt_device_licensed_software_metrics.html

When I try to add the following standard information models to a new or existing project http://opcfoundation.org/UA (15.07.2020) http://opcfoundation.org/UA/DI (02.06.2020) CODESYS crashes every time during the process. Adding an OPC UA Server itself works without any problem. The crash only happens when adding the standard OPC UA Information Model. CODESYS version: CODESYS V3.5 SP20 Patch 4 (64 bit) Has anyone experienced the same issue or knows a possible workaround? Thank you in advance.

Post by poliautomacao on Absolute movement controlled by an external encoder. ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I made this configuration, I'm moving the encoder value to SM_Driver_PosControl.in.wActPosition. When I make the absolute movement of my PosControl axis, my physical drive axis rotates perfectly, but I noticed that the movement is not followed by the encoder. That is, if I hold the encoder and keep it in position 0, the PosControl axis makes the absolute movement of 314 mm and stops, which is strange because the encoder is at 0. Theoretically, the PosControl axis should accelerate to try to compensate for the movement error. I haven't yet achieved perfect functionality.
