Post by timvh on Is it possible to use debug functions such as Step Execution while the PLC ladder is in Running? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Yes, it is possible to set breakpoints and use step into / step over (also in Ladder diagram). Yes, the PLC will actually stop, so be carefull with this. How a PLC works is that at the start of the execution of the Task, the Inputs are read, then the code is being executed and then the outputs are written. So if you set a breakpoint, you will not see your analog inputs changing, because the task cycle is interrupted and the inputs and outputs are not refreshed. For detailed information, see: https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Development%20System/_cds_using_breakpoints.html

Post by tokamk on Dynamic setting of the modbus tcp/ip slave ip address ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I'm working on a project which includes Panel-PC which communicates with a PLC through Modbus TCP/IP. On the PLC I have a CODESYS code which has Modbus slave objects. The Modbus slave objects have to have manually set IP address in order for them to work properly and the Ip address has to be the PC-Panels's IP. This project is going to a customer and they're using their own IP address realm. So, my question is that is it possible to configure these slaves in some other way, so that the customer doesn't need to modify the CODESYS project? I was thinking that would it be possible to set the IP address of these slaves from external source?

Post by struccc on Release SP20 - Changes in behaviour? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
This... is not very practical for me - as I have a bunch of different classes - it's just doesn't seems to be very practical to define a NULL for each of them... Something like this I use in parameter definitions. For example: VAR_INPUT refVFD_Drive : REFERENCE TO FB_VFD_Drive := GVL_DUMMY.Dummy_VFD; END_VAR I use this to prepare objects for code I don't control: Typycally visualizations - had many troubles with references set on the fly, right before opening a corresponding visualization... And yes, the instance in GVL_Dummy reports itself as "Fake", so it does not influence the actual application at all. Actually this way I could invalidate a reference, just to set it to a "Dummy" instance.

Hi, Got same problem, appeared after 4.3.1.0 update. Prabably problem is in performance. I am using virtual machine, so adding one more core and several GB to RAM still not solved, but atleast did system more stable. Try optimise your main program or set less task interval. Regards, I will be your mate in solving this mistery =)

Post by davidbo on How to switch between dynamic IP address and dynamic? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I want to make an application with a UI for CODESYS Control for Raspberry Pi MC SL which make it possible to switch between dynamin and fixed IP address and to set the IP address. However I do not know whether that is possible?

I think, that if you set the timebase to T#0s, that it will be reset. But you can also make your own ramp down with a Timer (make sure the PT time is not T#0s):

Post by timvh on CAN Open Manager - varible of SYNC ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
You can enable "Sync Producing" in the configuration of the CANopen Manager. Then this manager will send a SYNC message every interval you set. Depending on your PDO configuration, the CAN nodes can send a PDO on every Sync (cyclic-synchronous). If this is not possible, then as alternative you can send a low level CAN message with COB-ID 16#80.

Post by andrax on CodeSys Raspberry pi I2C driver not found ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I took a look at your project. First of all, a Raspbery Pi4 is installed. You must use the GPIOs_A_B(GPIOs B+/Pi2). The error ULINT can't be set to IDINT.... with your project as well. If I change your project to ‘CODESYS_Control_for_Raspberry_Pi_SL’ the error is gone.

Hi Gustavo, can you reduce the problem to a project that reproduces the issue without the real servo drives? (You could set the servo drives to virtual and strip away as much as possible from the application.) If you can attach a project, we will have a look. Best regards, Georg

Post by pernockham on Preferred way of managing Ip-adress/es for linux (debian) host? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I have a debian linux host running Control SL. I tried to manage IP-addresses through codesys/Control SL but that was not successful. What works though is manually editing the network-interfaces config file. /etc/network/interfaces. Is there a way to set this up so that IP-addresses can be managed from within codesys instead? Thanks! / Per

Post by manuknecht on FileDialog - OnDialogClosed not called anymore ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I had similar issues with the OnDialogClosed not being called. I realized that this behaviour is resolved, when the according visualization object on which the input configuration is set is moved to the foreground. Somehow, the object has to be one of the lowest elements in the Element List (i.e. in the foreground) for it to work.

Post by atone on Set DeviceID of an IO-Link Sensor at Runtime ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Answering to myself: is not possible according to the IFM support, this possibility has not been taken into account, although the interfaces and FBs in Codesys would apparently support it. So I ended up having to deactivate the sensor validation and the backup & restore functionality in the master and implement it in the PLC myself.

Post by gseidel on Dynamic target position tracking ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi kporter, a more direct way would be to use SMC_FollowPosition to write the set positions directly to the servo drive. This FB has reacts on changes of the fSetPosition on each call, without a need for a rising edge on Execute. See https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/libs/SM3_Basic/Current/SM3_Basic/POUs/Movement/Direct/SMC_FollowPosition.html. Best regards, Georg

make sure the PLC and the programming PC have IP addresses that are on the same subnet, you'll have to know the default address of the PLC or you may need to connect to it with a special cable and use a software tool to set the IP address.
