Post by eaglealex on Length of string and Array of bytes ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello! I have tried read a file to the string variable. But I faced a problem - there is about 2800 bytes of information in file, but string have a limit 2393 bytes. I made two variables with same address (for automatic convertion) - string[3000] and array of bytes[1..3000]. And I noticed that array of bytes contains all information from file, but string shows only first 2393 bytes. So I have lost information. Is there really such a limitation? Or I have an error in my program and Codesys 2.3 have no limit for such kind of conversation between string and array of bytes? Thank you very much!

Post by atone on Set DeviceID of an IO-Link Sensor at Runtime ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I need to be able to change (set) the DeviceID of an IO-Link sensor (see DeviceID.png) at runtime. I tried with both ProfinetCommon.PN_PortConfiguration and ProfinetCommon.IOL_PortConfiguration, but I get an error for both when I try to read the port configuration (see PN_PortConfiguration.png). Does one of those FBs is the right one for my purpose? Do I possibly make a mistake when assigning the parameter IOLD_ID/IOLM_ID?

Post by peterkcontrols on Copying 2 byte word to output ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello. I am using codesys 3.5. I would like to know if it is possible to set a variable to an output without declaring in. I have defined a STRUCT and within this struct I have a Struct for inputs called I and a struct for outputs called O. I have declared a variable of the type of this Struct, I would like to set or alias the value in this variable to an input/output value of an IO block that has a module on the ethernet tree. Is it possible to copy the contents of %IW0 -> STRUCT.I ? The size of both of these is 2 bytes. I understand that I can declare a variable with the input like Input01 AT %IX0.0 : BOOL; However how can I make STRUCT.I.D00 AT %IX0.0? Is this possible? Thanks

Well. One can do that, I have found a python script which can modify /etc/dhcpcd.conf and I suppose there is a way I can execute it from CODESYS and it seems to be the only way

You need an SPI driver for the board. If there is nothing on the net, you will have to write one yourself

Post by s1mon on Two OneWireMaster on one Raspberry PI 5 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Thx for the hint. It works if I add following line to the .cfg file. PlaceholderFilePath.2=/sys/devices/w1_bus_master2, $OneWire2$ Is there a documentation how to modify this config file? Will this be overwritten if I do an update of the CodesysControl Runtime?

One option could be to use a trigger variable to execute your trace and then toggle that variable from a step within a test case.

Maybe try going back to step one and: Var Reg1: WORD; Reg2: WORD; Reg12: DWORD; Value: REAL; end_var // program Reg1:= 4096; Reg2:= 14884; Reg12:= (reg2 * 65536) + reg1; Value:= DWORD_TO_REAL(Reg12);

Hi there, I am having a similar problem like you. I have 3 screens connected to one PLC. I have set 3 different URLs for them. But 3 of them are still dependent to each other. How can I make them independently ? Kind regards, Jin.

There appears to be a limit to the number of OPC Servers that can be connected simultaenously. 1-10 work but adding an 11th makes one of the previously linked ones unavailable. Is this a soft setting that can be adjusted? Using 3.5.18.30 on Win x64

I'm having the same issue.I think it may be something related to the device adress that changes depending on the network i'm using, but now i don't have access to the one i used while setting my user. Did you find any solution for this?

Post by farren on Codesys complains about matching versions ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I'm building up a 2nd PC to match an existing developer PC. Installed the same SP and Patch levels but when I open a project that was created on the existing PC, Codesys complains that it's not the same version. Attaching a screenshot..... What else is there to match? Also, can all of the libraries that are on the existing machine be copied from it to the new machine and if so, how? (So I get the same versions) Which files/folders do I copy? Thanks! -Farren

I would just use projectachives instead of using projects if you work with different pc's then all project related libs and devices are included.
