Post by adaml on ScriptEngine - execute "Export -> Bootproject and firmware (SD Card)" from python ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi everybody, recently I was checking how many time consuming manual tasks I can perform with python scripts through ScriptEngine. I have in the project many devices and currently I export bootprojects for them by right clicking on Application, then go Export -> Bootproject and firmware (SD Card) and then point folder where files should be exported. It's fine if project has few devices, but I have some of them with over 30 devices and manual clicking like that is very time consuming. How can I do it with python script? So far I found "create_boot_application" method from Application object (taken by projects.primary.find('Application', True)) but it only generates .app and .crc file instead of full structure to store on SD card (FIRMWARE, USERDATA, SDCARD.INI, Version, Version.txt.sig). Should I use some method to control user interface? Best regards, Adam

Post by timvh on FB string and naming ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I see, you want to initialize the FB. To be able to initialise it like you described, you need to add the FB_Init method to your FB. (right click on the FB, select add object --> method). Then press the arrow down, to select the FB_Init (overwrite default implementation). In the VAR_INPUT section of this method, add the variable --> Tag : STRING; Then in the code section of this method add: THIS^.Tag := Tag; // copy initial value to local variable in FB Search Google if you want to know more about FB_Init. PS, reflection + instance path, is also an option if you want to get the full name of the instance (path) of the Function Block. See: https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Development%20System/_cds_pragma_attribute_instance_path.html

Post by wistaro on How to use PLC_Open FBs with PROFINET servodrive (PROFIdrive layer) ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I would like to know if there is a PROFIdrive layer in CODESYS. I am already familliar with Codesys's SoftMotion on CANOpen/EtherCAT (to control PLC Open FBs), and I need the same kind of stuff for PROFINET-IO devices; In my configuration, I have a CIFX board from Hischer to enable IRT, the SoftPLC "Codesys Control RTE V3 x64", and a servo-drive from INFRANOR that implements PROFINET / PROFIdrive (with IRT) protocol. This drive works well with the Object Technology of Tia Portal, but some customers use Codesys. Do you have an idea how to do that? Thanks in advance. Regards, William ROMIGUIERES INFRANOR France

Post by gseidel on CNC / G01 Speed is very slow (or go-stop motion) in Continuous short segment . ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi k2saki, I would recommend to have a look at SMC_SmoothMerge, followed by SMC_SmoothPath. SmoothMerge will combine the small G1 elements to longer splines, SmoothPath will avoid stops between the splines. https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/libs/SM3_CNC/Current/SM_CNC_POUs/SoftMotion-CNC/SoftMotion-Function-Blocks/SMC_SmoothMerge.html For SmoothMerge to work, you have to configure a tolerance, i.e. by how much it may deviate from the lines. To graph the output of the interpolator, you can use the trace. (Add a trace object below the application, and add the variables you are interested in to the trace.) Best regards, Georg

Post by bjarne-pagaard on Unable to add alarm configuration object to project ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I believe it should be available. It may be the case, that your device does not support the alarm configuration. Some smaller PLCs sometimes do not support it. You can try changing to a different device, like a Codesys Control Win, in your project, and see if then allows you to add the alarm configuration.

Post by timvh on FB string and naming ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Really not clear what you are trying to do, but isn't a Struct enough? So add an object of the type DUT to the Application. Then create a structure TYPE ST_Sensor : STRUCT sName : STRING; uiNumber : UINT; END_STRUCT END_TYPE Then in you application add an instance of this Structure stSensor1 : ST_Sensor := (sName := 'my sensor', uiNumber := 1); or use it like this stSensor1.sName := 'my sensor';

Post by timvh on Library ENUM text representation in visualization ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Probably the enum from the library doesn't have text support. In that case you need to add your own TextList to the application. In the rectangle you should use the property "dynamic text" to link this object to the textlist which you have created yourself and then link the text index to your enum variable.

Post by benemenn on Type mappings in Datasource ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi! I am trying to achieve the same issue. Has there been a solution? I can create the mapping, and map the local variable, but somehow the object does not update. Furthermore, i have an issue where codesys doesn't let me set ReadWrite accesses to the variables in the "Type Mapping" place. The access will simply not be set. Has anyone ran int that issue?

Post by installwhat on raspistepper error after install ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
from another post on this forum .... In your library project select Project -> Project Information. On the Properties table remove the "LanguageModelAttribute" Value "Qualified Access Only". This will allow you to access the object without qualifying the access. ...... I guess they've compiled it the library with that setting and now I need to mess around with versions.

Post by pouyavakili on Execute Codesys Tests with python ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
❓ Issue: TestManager Not Available in Python Script (AttributeError) 🙏 Question: Why does project.get_testmanager() not work in scripting, even though Test Manager is installed and licensed, and the script runs in GUI mode? Is there a way to ensure the Test Manager interface is loaded or accessible from the scripting environment? 🧠 Summary: I'm trying to automate test execution using the CODESYS scripting engine (Python) via a script that opens a project, builds the application, and runs tests from a TestRepository.xml. Although the Test Manager works manually in the IDE, it fails when accessed via script with the following error: AttributeError: 'ScriptObject' object has no attribute 'testmanager' 🧪 Test Setup: CODESYS version: 3.5.21.10 Test Manager: Installed and licensed (works in the IDE manually) Project: Contains a test repository, which can be executed via the GUI Script execution method: powershell Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Program Files\CODESYS 3.5.21.10\CODESYS\Common\CODESYS.exe" ` -ArgumentList @( '--profile="CODESYS V3.5 SP21 Patch 1"', '--runscript="C:\Scripts\run_tests.py"' ) -Wait 📜 Script Summary: python project = projects.open(project_path) application = project.active_application application.build() This fails: testmanager = project.get_testmanager() ❗ Problem: Calling project.get_testmanager() or application.testmanager throws an AttributeError, even though the same project and test repository work in the GUI.

Post by tk096 on Creating Custom Kinematics ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, a few questions that you can check regarding your kinematics: * Does your kinematics FB implement the interface ISMKinematicWithInfo2? * Does AxesToCartesian(a, out f) -> CartesianToAxes(f, out aCompare) result in a=aCompare for random positions a? * Do you return a valid rotation matrix f.mR (SMC_Matrix3) in AxesToCartesian()?
