Post by hanoues on setting date and time on CPX-E ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, Can anybody here tell me how to modify the time and date on my CPX-E? I used the code I found on CODESYS online help, but it doesn't work. What am I missing? FUNCTION current_date_time : STRING VAR stUTC_Timestamp : SysTime; //utc time // ULINT#1528280694913 stLocal_TimeStamp : SysTime; //local time but is in general equal // ULINT#1528280694913 stdNow : SysTimeDate; //local time in an object to access each number (day, month...) dtNow : DATE_AND_TIME;//DT#2018-6-6-10:24:54 todNow : TIME_OF_DAY; // TOD#10:24:54.913 datNow : DATE; // D#2018-6-6 END_VAR SysTimeRtcHighResGet(stUTC_Timestamp); // ULINT#1528273494913 SysTimeRtcConvertHighResToLocal(stUTC_Timestamp, stdNow); //convert UTC ULINT to Local SysTime // stdNow.wYear = UINT#2018 // stdNow.wMonth = UINT#6 // stdNowy.wDay = UINT#6 // stdNow.wHour = UINT#10 // stdNow.wMinute = UINT#24 // stdNow.wSecond = UINT#54 // stdNow.wMilliseconds = UINT#913 // stdNow.wDayOfWeek = UINT#3 // stdNow.wYday = UINT#157 SysTimeRtcConvertDateToHighRes(stdNow, stLocal_TimeStamp); // ULINT#1528280694913 dtNow := TO_DT(stLocal_TimeStamp / 1000 ( ms )); // DT#2018-6-6-10:24:54 todNow := TO_TOD(stLocal_TimeStamp MOD TO_ULINT(T#1D)); // TOD#10:24:54.913 datNow := TO_DATE(dtNow); // D#2018-6-6 (convert to appropriate string) current_date_time := concat('$N[', TO_STRING(dtNow)); current_date_time:= concat(current_date_time,'.'); current_date_time:= concat(current_date_time, TO_STRING(stdNow.wMilliseconds)); current_date_time:= concat(current_date_time,'] - '); RETURN;

Post by struccc on Application failing to boot after system reboot ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I started to experience the same issue, after upgrading to 3.5.19 , and still persists with 3.5.20.3 , using CodesysControlWinV3 x64 on Windows. Unfortunately, this is a live application, normally it is running for months without interruption - so it was a surprise at the last cold start... It was not possible to go online with the original version, so I couldn't see the application, or system status, just the log message. First time I manually clean the Application from the PlcLogic directory (there was no coredump file in there), then I could start the runtime service, and do a fresh download, and set the bootproject. I could not try a cold system reboot - it's in a 24/7 production environment, and I was under heavy pressure to start... What I did, I have created a backup from the * complete * runtime directory, from the failed, and fixed version - before and after download. This directory in my case C:\ProgramData\CODESYS\CODESYSControlWinV3x64\55096128 - At the next shutdown, it was sufficient to copy back this backup completely, and could start the runtime service afterwards. Ugly, but local staff with some skills can do it without programming tool... I don't store any live data, configuration, log files, persistent data in this directory - the only reason I need this is to edit the CodesysControl... .cfg file.... And to see the logfiles in emergencies like this. The application concerned doesn't use any retain area. - exactly for these reasons - Maybe that is causing the problem with the newer runtime versions As far as I see, this problem occurs only if the power of the Windows PLC is interrupted without a proper shutdown. Unfortunately, this can happen sometimes. The newer versions, seems tp modify CodesysControl.cfg on the fly, and register the applications, and bootproject information after download. (I don't really see CodesysControl.cfg a proper location for this... but that's just my feeling) So now I had a look at CodesysCotrol.cfg on my laptop and I found: [CmpRetain] ;Retain.SRAM.Size=0x200200 ;Retain.SRAM.Address=0xFA3C5776 ;SimulateSRAM=1 [CmpApp] ;Bootproject.CreateOnDownload=0 ;Bootproject.StoreOnlyOnDownload=0 ;Bootproject.InvalidateByRename=1 ;Bootproject.InvalidateBySetting=1 ;Bootproject.InvalidateNever=0 ;PersistentForce=0 ;RetainType.Applications=InSRAM ;RetainType.Applications=OnPowerfail ;RetainType.Applications=None ;Exception.Hardware.GlobalStop=1 Application.1=MyTestAppNoRetain The last line appeared after download and boot project creation. Maybe... Should set RetainType.Applications=None? I wonder about all these settings, but... Will write separately about it. I hope this helps a little...

Post by ryandmg on Web Client (HMI) Disconnects from Webvisu (Weidmuller u-OS) ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Thanks So Much for the reply! Were using the Weidmuller UV66-ADV-10-CAP-W The HMI is pointed to the URL which is assigned through u-OS. Basically when you log into the controller's webserver via browser you can view the installed apps. One of which is the Codesys runtime. When you click on that it takes you to the visualization. That corresponding url is what the HMI is looking for. I apologize I don't have that on hand as I'm in the office right now. I don't think I tried connecting using the port you mentioned and https in lieu of the u_OS URL. I can certainly try. Out of the box the u-OS is set for HTTP. Since we're isolated I havent changed that yet. When this has happened while logged on via chrome on my laptop, simply refreshing brings the visualization right back. In the case of the HMI in kiosk mode, we power cycle the HMI to force a reconnect, log back in u-OS and the visualization is back.

Post by gilbert-mh on CAA net base TCP client cause PLC to crash - Kernel message : N0HZ_local_softirq_pending 80 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello all, I have been trying to implement a TCP client on a Festo PLC (CPX-E-CEC-M1) and it looks like it works well except that after some time (greatly varies between a few hours to more than 100h) my PLC crash. When I look into the log file the only thing I see is that before the crash happens a few kernel warnings : N0HZ_local_softirq_pending 80 and then the crash. I've looked into this warning and from what I could find on the net it seems that this is warning is triggered when the ethernet link is down. I've tried to correct this bug for quite some time and what I know is that : - The crash is caused by my TCP client, when I remove it from my code I see no crash - The crash happens more quickly the more the TCP client is used. - The time before the crash is not directly proportional to the number of communications or their size. But it looks like it is just more likely to happen if the client connect to the server at a higher frequency. - The precedent observation makes it seem unlikely that the crash is caused by some memory overflow because then the crash speed would be more proportional to the amount of data exchanged. SO from these observations, I believe that the crash could be caused by the PLC trying to connect to a server while there is some kind of issue with the ethernet link resulting in the PLC getting stuck in some indefinite state and making it crash. This still seems a bit unlikely to me because if the ethernet is down it simply shouldn't be able to contact the server and the communication would just fail which doesn't cause my PLC to crash. Has anyone encountered the same kind of problem (with the same kernel message) ? I am pretty sure the warning is not the direct cause of the crash but just an indicator that something is wrong with my PLC. Thanks in advance

An other approach is to split the application into a hard real-time part running in CODESYS and the business logic running in Python asyncio. The business logic part is usually bigger and changes more often. As Python code is pure text, vscode and git are your friends. A performance example on YouTube (CODESYS SoftMotion + Python): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BT-L0H_4Aic Docs and code on GitHub: https://github.com/arwie/controlOS_demo/blob/main/docs/codesys_python_link.md Real-time variable exchange between a CODESYS application and a Python application running in parallel, using POSIX shared memory.

Post by dkugler on TargetVisu Freezing ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
The only weird situation i remeber with particular or complete frozen target visu was after the rtc clock was fallen or set back to the past. It looked like after running a while the alarm history database crashed during writing entries at a date lot of years in the past. After setting the rtc clock to actual date/time and deleting the alarm db every thing worked fine. I don't know, if this is/was a problem of our PLC hardware/firmware? Maybe check date/time at your system?

Post by ph0010421 on Task time too fast? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello I've made an FB which is a TCP server. It uses the excellent CAA NetServices library. If I have the FB in a task <4ms, then the RT crashes immediately at boot up. If the task >=4ms, it starts and runs perfectly. This is even if the block is not doing anything; just instantiated. Am I missing something silly? Why would a low task time cause this? 4ms is perfectly adequate, but I'm just interested why... thanks PH

Post by msirotkin on EtherCAT status errors ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Didn't help. I'm just trying to understand why the errors occur. Are they from the poor driver or from the Linux network stack. That's why I wanted to know how the rxerros and lostframes are counted. Because in other places (like ethtool info) there are no any issues. And the Ethercat device works fine. And it also strange that on the second ethernet port with a different HW and driver Ethercat works better, but still time to time gets such errors.

Post by dhumphries on Codesys Installation problem ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Installing codesys has been the biggest point of frustration for me and is the reason I'm currently working on building a VM just for the codesys engineering software so once I get a working installation I can copy the VM to new workstations instead of fighting with the installer every time I get a workstation upgrade. The best advice I've gotten in the past is to uninstall everything and start over, this is successful 50% of the time. Also don't install the latest version it's usually less stable than an older one ironically.

Post by toffeebonbon on EL7041-0052 - does it run with EL7041 SoftMotion? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I let this project rest for a while and picked it up last week. I have been in contact with the support from beckhoff and got the information that the terminals were identical (communication wise). As the Log of the Axis (not the drive's log) shows the error when trying to write into the register 0x8012 and set the value for an encoder to a value that is the default - at least according to the manual - I was wondering if it is possible to "not write that value" to skip that part? Or am I misunderstanding the way the library communicates with the drive?

Post by hemuv on Dialog Open ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I'm programming an HMI for a machine. I want to log all the parameter's changes (used text field for displaying and changing) for particular User levels. Created a Numpad and want to log oldvalue and Newvalue on 'ok' Button press. To retrieve the oldvalue, i check if the dialogue opened is my Numpad, Then I retrieve the dialogue interface via GetDialogInterface(ADR(myNumpad)) --> numpadData.stVariableValue which contain my oldvalue and save it locally. Problem is sometimes i retrieve the data and sometimes not. Also observed when Numpad Dialogue is Opened, VisuDlgUtil_IsDialogOpen returns False in some cycles.Attached you will find my Project. please let me know what went wrong or if there is a better approach to collect old and New Value of a textfield. Thank you.

Hi Everyone, As we didn't have client for IEC - 104 - only server server is available , so because of that we are trying to make establish the communication between the external simulator as a Client and codesys itself as a server. We are looking for the variable behavior from CODESYS has to change according to the message triggered by the CLIENT (we are using simulator Application like Redisant). We are able to see the log data as the status of triggering the SCS from Client received to the Log data of the codesys device(attached screen shot of it) and in simulator panel we had set the details to trigger the data from Redisant to Codesys. Current Status: The project builds and runs successfully, but I need guidance on how to connect this to an external IEC-104 simulator for testing and visualization by using demo mode.

Post by mubeta on Some 'pathetic' errors in SoftMotion program ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Yes, this point is part of my misunderstanding. Why, after the execution ot the motion FBs is set to FALSE and exsecuted at lest one time, it must be continuosly called, even if the motion control it's take from another subsequent instruction. This is what I really don't undertand, but what in fact it's happening. For example, in case of stopping a MoveVelocity FB, then Halting the motion by the related FB, the axis at spot goes into error. If there was bad trigger management, the various instructions would NEVER work.
