Post by josephbourgeois on Tracking out product ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi everyone! I synchronize the operation of the tripod and the conveyor. I have a problem with the product tracking algorithm on the conveyor (PCS_1). Sometimes I need to stop tracking a product on command without completing the operation. I do this using MC_GroupStop. But when I need to start moving in WCS again (using fb movelinearabsolute), I get a tripod kinematics error - SMC_CP_INVALID_ORIENTATION (Invalid orientation (non-orthonormal matrix or non-unit quaternion, internal error)). MC_ResetGroup does not help. What could be the problem? Has anyone encountered this?

Hallo, ich möchte meine Variablen vor dem stoppen der CPU in eine Datei schreiben. Das schreiben der Datei dauert ca. 1 minute (sehr viele Daten). Ich habe versucht das mittels Szstemevent zu bewerkstelligen leider kreiert er nur die datei sofern nicht vorhanden. Ich vermute das die Zeit nicht ausreicht um die daten zu schreiben. Anbei mal der Entsprechende FB. Kann mir da eventuell jemand weiterhelfen?

Post by androidzz on Json Builder problem? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Dear reader, I am using the codesys JSON utilities SL, 1.9.0.0 library. And then specifically the FB JSONBuilder. I need to create a main object with at least 2 objects in it. The first object is no problem, but I cannot insert the second object into the main object. See attached my code and the result I get. I am assuming that I am doing something wrong with the parent index but have tried a lot and can't get it done. Kind regards, Rob

Post by syjoo on Recipe Manager in PRG (3.05.13.XX) ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I'm using version 3.5.13. Is it possible to handle Recipe Manager in PRG in this environment? Can you give me a simple example? Although it has been confirmed that the functions work on Recipe Manager, they do not work properly when implemented through FB within a simple PRG. I would like to save the current value as a recipe or load the recipe's value as the current value. And I want to save the recipe as a file or load the recipe saved as a file. somebody help me. (TT)

Post by gseidel on CNC - system goes to X=0 Y=0 before CNC file execution starts, how to avoid that? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi peterned, the start position given in the CNC properties is only used if you use the compile mode OutQueue. With compile mode SMC_CNC_REF, you need to provide the start position in the IEC application. The function block SMC_NCInterpreter has an input piStartPosition. You can initialize it with the output of the forward kinematic transormation FB for your machine. In your case probably SMC_TRAFOF_Gantry2. Best regards, Georg

Post by timvh on JSON ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I don't know the details of jsonArrayWriter, but the common behaviour for an xExecute input is that the FB starts on the trigger that it gets TRUE. In your case xExecute is never FALSE, so it is never triggered again to start the jsonArrayWriter. So change the condition from TRUE to a variable which you set to TRUE with the "xFirst". Then when the jsonArrayWriter is done (xDone), or has an error (xError), then set this variable to FALSE.

Post by corriibme on Setting array values with JSON Utilities SL ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
It turns out that you can build JSON structures without ever calling the JSONBuilder function block directly. Instead, create a pointer to JSON.JSONData and invoke the necessary methods on its dereference. The parent object has a parent index of -1 (and an index of 0). EVERY other item (including keys, values, empty arrays and sub-objects) created by the setX methods needs the index to increase by 1. Then use the JSONByteArrayWriter FB to generate your JSON string

Post by deeps on wed visu im IFM display CR1077 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Ich habe ein IFM cr1077 Display. Ich würde gerne die B&R Kartenansicht auf der IFM Visualisierung anzeigen. Dazu habe ich das Webbrowser-Element von Coedsys verwendet. Ich konnte sehen, dass IFM im Internet-Webbrowser gut funktioniert, aber das IFM-Gerät zeigt einen weißen Bildschirm und friert ein. Ich denke, es gibt ein Problem mit IFM, das den Webbrowser anzeigt. Verstehe ich die Webvisualisierung richtig oder mache ich hier einen Fehler?

Hi mate, With this snippet i was able to see the lastusage variable count, but it would not iterate between clients? i was only able to access the data of the target visu. it threw an error with the array of pointers stating it was not able to convert etc. also when i tried it with the while loop it created an endless loop and crashed the program. any ideas? Thankyou

Post by trusty-squire on Display Units/Scale on Path3D visualization ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, Is it possible to display the units along the X,Y axis of the Path3D element? It correctly shows the CNC path to be followed, but there's no indication of scale or size of what's being displayed. I looked at the documentation and my first inclination is that this is not possible, and the option option would be to somehow recreate the Path3D functionality into the XY Chart visu element - which is not ideal. Any suggestions or pointers would be appreciated!

Post by micik on PLCOpenXML Export/Import with Visualisation ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I have noticed that Codesys doesn't provide option to Export any Visualization objects even though there is option to check to export VISU_TASK, which is strange because when Import in another empty project, user will end up with build errors. I understand that probable reason for this is that PLCOpenXML specification includes only "PLC" parts of the project (POU, PRG, variable lists, device ....), but not sure about it. Perhaps, there is some option to include visu objects also in the plcopen xml export list??

Post by dkugler on Visualisierung: Tastatur vergrößern? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
mir ist kein Scallierungsparameter bekannt bisher. Als Workaround fällt mir folgendes ein: für keypad und numpad jeweils eine zusätzliche Visualisierungen erstellen, welche lediglich einen Frame enthält, der wiederum das originale numpad und keypad aufruft. Über die Eigenschaft relative Bewegung X & Y könnte dann der Frame sogar zur Laufzeit über eine Variable in der Größe angepasst werden. Die beiden ersellten Visualisierungen muss man dann noch im Visumanager unter Dialogeinstellugen als zu verwendende Numpad und Keypad entsprechend zuweisen. Nachteil: Visu-Scallierungen sind oft Spritfresser, sprich gönnen sich ordentlich Rechenleistung. Viel Erfolg!

Hi, can you please provide a new example for the topic at CODESYS "Client Independent Visualization Switching" https://forge.codesys.com/prj/codesys-example/client-independ/home/Home/ Since a few versions, the functions used cause warning messages. Examples for the use of all function blocks from the Visu Utils would generally be very helpful! Several people have put together an example here: https://forum-de.codesys.com//download/file.php?id=2240 BR Patrick

Post by sturmghost on Find visualization elements that require a lot of computing time ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I found out that the Codesys simulation mode is not good to measure performance. As soon as I upload the code onto the hardware PLC I can see that my visu-task needs around 60 ms to complete. I'm wondering if there is a possibility to find out which visualization/visualization element takes a lot of computing time? Then I would look for ways to decrease the long computing time.

Post by jinlee on Multiple WebVisu ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, thank you for replying. Basically, I have a main visu with frame selection. So, under some condition the frame will switch to a specific frame. It used to be controlled by variable using "Switch frame variable". However, I realise it will change all the HMI screen at one time. So I removed the variable, and still looking for a solution to do that. Do you have any idea?

I'm getting this error on one of my projects. Searching for it I came across this https://www.codesys.com/fileadmin/data/Images/System/Releaseinformation/Patch-Note-CODESYS-Visualization-4300.html which says it was a bug VIS-1394, fixed in Visualization 4.3.0.0. I'm using a previous visu version, what is the cause of this error, and what can be done to work around it?

Post by thomasrohnerch on Color Change for Symbols not working ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I have some Symbols from the Visualization Toolbox on my Target Visu on the Computer. I tried many Symbols, mainly Arrows. I'm able to control the visibility with condition e.g. "GVL.actual_testvalues.speed <= 0" But I can't do "Toggle color" with boolean GVL.b_toggle_color. Neither "TRUE" nor "FALSE" does change anything. Is this a known issue? I'm using CODESYS V3.5 SP19 Patch 5 + (64-bit). See attached file with more Version-Info. I'm currently using Style 6, Gradient axial 2, 3.5.12.0. I had the same issue with Default 3.5.16.0.

Post by dominggus on Recipe Manager - RecipeManCommands, load & write wrong values, Bug? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I still have the same problem even when updating to CODESYS Recipes 4.3.0.0. My scenario: I'm trying to save/load an array of structs using the Visu: - Execute Command > "SaveRecipeAs" works properly - Execute Command > "LoadWriteRecipe" works not entirely: the structs of array[6] and array[7] should have been empty but were duplicates of array[4] and array[5]... the struct contains 26 variables and the array's length is 30.. Maybe there is a upper limit on recipe variable count?

Post by miodusy on File transfer via visu and codesys automation server ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I have a problem with the file transfer library. Namely, it does not work via the codesys server. (error 5; overtime, and visualization resets). They operate mostly in local chains. I tested different browsers and VPN from the router. It works everywhere, except through access from the codesys automation server. The client, having many machines under one account, prefers to keep it that way rather than use an individual VPN just to download a backup. Does anyone have an idea what the problem is? Sylwester M.

Hi, With the new Runtime Based User Management, is there any way for WebVisu clients to be logged in to a default user automatically - no login prompt? I would like for the default user to be able to perform normal operation of the machine, without logging in to the WebVisu. This is possible with the Legacy User Management. For the Runtime based user management, there seems to be a default user for the TargetVisu - but not for the WebVisu. -Bjarne

Post by carohe on VisuNamespace != null ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, this error occured frequently over the past couple of weeks. I found out, when adding a webvisu, CODESYS added Visu libraries in the library manager. One of the libraries was the "VisuElemsAlarm" library. In my case it added this one with the version 4.3.0.0. However another library that also contained the "VisuElemsAlarm", used the "VisuElemsAlarm" with the version "4.4.0.0". After changing the Version "4.4.0.0" and uninstalling this version, the error has not occured anymore. Regards, carohe

Post by bitwitch on Einheiten umrechnen, Numpad und Eingabegrenzen ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Das Codesys-Objekt 'Einheiten umrechnen' wirkt auf timeVar (TIME) z.B. innerhalb eines Visu-Rechtecks und funktionier in den Grundfunktionen einwadfrei. Die Ausgabe der Std. von timeVar läuft. Beispiel: Bei t#3d2h10m wird wunschgemäß 74h (volle Std-Anzahl). Die Grenzüberwachung Max= 10 funktioniert nicht, da die Angabe scheinbar ms erwartet (arbeitet mit 10ms). Irgend wie muss man jetzt codesys davon überzeugen, dass auch für Min und Max die Einheitenumrechnerei wirken soll, wobei die Eingabe der Grenzen in Std erfolen muß. Hat jemad einen TiPPPPPPPPP?

Post by gatewail0 on Digital Clock ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
You can definitely pull the actual system time into CODESYS without too much trouble. Take a look at the SysTimeRtc or SysTime library—both let you read the current date and time from the Raspberry Pi. You can call SysTimeRtcGet() or SysTimeGetTime() in your PLC code and then format the hours, minutes, and seconds into variables that feed your 7-segment visualization. Once you’ve mapped those values, your Visu display will update automatically each cycle. It’s a pretty common approach for clocks in CODESYS, so you should be able to get it working quickly. golf hit
