Post by davidmic on Struct Literal ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi all I want to pass a struct into a function without declaring the struct in a VAR/END_VAR. Is this possible? I think this would be called a struct literal It would look something like this someFB.write(structArgument := MyStruct#(a := 1, b := 1.2), otherArgument := TRUE); With this struct declaration TYPE MyStruct : STRUCT a : INT; b : REAL; END_STRUCT END_TYPE

the Answer is easy, you don't reapecting the codesys-behaviour and pre-request on a dll/so like you like to create. codesys won't load it about the fact that the dll isn't registered in codesys. check this page for more informations: https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Control/_rtsl_extension_extension_sdk.html

Hello, Working in 3.5 SP11 32 bit and using the 3S CANopenSafety Slave 3.5.11.0 library on an IFM CR711S. The 3SCSSD.CANOpenDevicesSIL2 function block keeps throwing "UNSAFESTACK_NOT_OPERATIONAL" Additionally, the Status of the device gives "There was an error accessing an I/O parameter". Any ideas on where my issues may lay? I have not found any good documentation that would explain the issue.

Post by timvh on Reading multiple lines from csv file ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Not sure, but maybe before you enter step 5, set i, lineindex and charIndex to 0. And the buffer variable should have a size bigger than 1 line. Additionally I think you should set bufferstart to 0 before you enter step 5. And in the OSCAT function you always point to the buffer address, but shouldn't this be (buffer + bufferstart)?

There has been a fix in SP21. I tried it in this version with the option "Use unicodestring" enabled in the Visualization Manager and it worked if the variables used for the function are declared as WSTRING variables wsFormat : WSTRING := "%t[HH:mm:ss dd.MM.yyyy]"; wsTime : WSTRING; IECStringUtils.FormatDateTime(cbpResult := ADR(wsTime), uiResultCapacity := SIZEOF(wsTime), cbpFormat := ADR(wsFormat));

please tell us the exact error message from diagnostic.

Post by evanclegg on Digital Clock ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
To display the current time, you’ll need to retrieve it from the system clock. In CODESYS, you can use the built-in function SysTime to get the current system time. Here’s an example of how you can use it: VAR dtCurrentTime: DATE_AND_TIME; sTime: STRING(8); END_VAR dtCurrentTime := SysTime(); sTime := TIME_TO_STRING(dtCurrentTime.t); The sTime variable now contains the current time in the format “HH:MM:SSuno online".

Post by k4zz on Static Code Analysis ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I've already experimented with two methods, but unfortunately, they only function with projects of type *.project. Consequently, when executing: system.commands["staticanalysis", "run"].execute() For the 2nd Option: You'll need to ensure that in the Static Analysis Settings, the option "Perform static analysis automatically after compilation" is checked. # get Project values myProject = projects.primary # Creates an active application app = myProject.active_application # build Application and run static code analysis app.generate_code()

Post by markushunter on Different behavior between the "Start" button in the IDE and the Cmp function "AppStartApplication()" ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
One workaround is to create a second application which is started after the rested of the main application. The second application starts the main application after time x and is rest after done start of the main application. No problems during the fieldbus re-start by this workaround.

I've been searching through these libraries, syssocket and net base services and they all seem to use the same structure for IP address for the connect function, SOCKADDRESS. At a glance, it doesn't look like that'll work, maybe it's just missing in the documentation somewhere?? I'm wondering if anyone has done it.

Hi, I am using the SysProcessExecuteCommand2 function from the SysProcess library to run the candump command in the PLC's Linux environment. However, the candump command stays running indefinitely. If I was running the candump command from a terminal (via PuTTy, etc), that command usually requires Ctrl+C to terminate. Is there a way to terminate a command that is executed with SysProcessExecuteCommand2?

Post by mubeta on Strange problem with the ‘MC_SetPosition’ function ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi gseidel, before moving to HW implementation, I had created the same program in simulation mode with virtual drives and, as far as I remember, everything worked fine simulating process and the few useful inputs. So it does not seem to be a SoftMotion library problem, but rather a problem with dynamics or physical axis adjustments. What escapes me, however, is the fact that this function is supposed to perform a position shift virtually, in fact without interfering with the axis itself, thus independent of its adjustments. MC_SetPosition() is not a homing function, in fact it is clearly intended to be executed on the fly with the axis moving. Now I'll see if I can reduce the program, although I don't like it very much. In my life I have learned that problem searches should be done on the part, and not in a more or less similar way.
