Post by soped on How to generate EtherCat xml from command line ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi I'm using codesys 3.5 SP4 Under tools->customize I have added the command "Generate ethercat xml" to my project so that I can export the configuration as an xml file. I can't find a way how to run that command from CLI, is that even possible and if a script is needed I would appreciate an example ?

Hello I have a problem with the Frame-configuration. In the picture below you can see that I set the Editor Type to variable. If it would be text it would work, but it wasnt variable anymore. Thanks for your time. Sorry, my codesys is in German.

Post by daniel on SysFileOpen not working ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I have the same problem now with 3.5.20 Patch 3. Normally it works if I ad in CODESYSControl.cfg: [SysFile] ForceIecFilePath=0 (This told me codesys last time) I try to use the placeholders but without success. Something special is that the Files are not in C:. The Plc Configuration Path is not as usual C:\ProgrammData\CODESYS\CODESYSControlRTEV3\, it's E:\Control.

Post by jddaigle on Webvisu not supported due to missing browser feature HTML5-Canvas ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I'm running the lastest version of Codesys 3.5 SP20 Patch 5, with the lastest version of Chrome. And I still get this "Webvisu not supported due to missing browser feature HTML5-Canvas" fallback with a quite simple webvisu containing some buttons, images, textboxed and a grid. What can I do? is that a configuration to change? Thanks!

Post by eschwellinger on Codesys Network driver install for Codesys Control RTE x64 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Yes, either adding in the CODESYSContro_User.cfg because the driver will no longer appear in the list or type the name from the documentation in the configuration and when the gray check mark appears, the driver is also installed. It is just not selectable anymore.

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.

IT updated a group policy that caused this issue. We resolved by going to Local Group Policy Editor > Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Windows Settings> Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options. Set "System Cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing" to DISABLED

Post by zoppp on Visu Frame-configuration___text will not work ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Yup, I've been having the exact same issue. A workaround that was working until Visu 4.8.0.0 was using TextList as the type in the frame configuration and then wrapping the text in quotes when configuring it. Im not sure if it will work with variables and I know it does not work if the type is text.

Post by dogulas on numeric text box control ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Ok, this is how I made a numeric text field: use a Text Field properties -> Texts -> Text := %f (or %d or whatever you need) properties -> Text variables -> Text variable := (your numeric variable) properties -> Input configuration -> OnMouseDown -> Configure: Write Variable Input type := VisuDialogs.Numpad Use another variable (your numeric variable) Min val Max val etc. Please tell me there is an easier way to do this.

Post by rene2 on How can you get the active frame index from a frame ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I think I struggle with the same issue. I tried the currentVisu variable but this is the active Visualisation. I have a dialog with a frame with frame configuration like in the picture. I would like to use the index te be used to make a button look like it's pressed/selected.

Post by scarter on Import/Export PLCOpen xml Task Configuration ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I'm Having the same issue. If I highlight PLC Logic and import it erases everything else and replaces the Task config. If I highlight the Application I get the same result. Simple manual fix is click and drag the task config onto the origional Application, and delete the second one. Easy fix but not the expected result of importing task config.

Post by manuknecht on High Cycle Times for SoftMotion_PlanningTask when using AxisGroup ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, we did install the real-time kernel patch on the RPI and also performed the additional optimizations including isolating the cores. Changing the configuration of the planning task e.g. running it on a separate core, changing the cycle times and mode from cyclic to freewheeling did not show any improvements.

Post by thewizard8 on Raspberry PI4 Serial Port ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi All, I finally figured out how to solve it. The only away that I got it to work was to define parity to None on modbus configuration, and now works like a charm. Just for the record I'm using the GPIO port pins (8,10) and a RS485 to ttl shield that you can find online. Thanks all for the support! Regards Ricardo

Post by josealb2000 on EL6910 as a PROFIsafe F-Host in Codesys ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Interested. I can see the EL6633 Profinet Controller can be added in Codesys to the EK1914 or EK1100, and then ProfiSafe devices can be added as the F-DI8/F-DQ3 ET200eco PN. Im unsure how to configure the telegram to the EL6910. Have you been able to make this configuration? EL6910 Manual shows a way but only using TwinSafe.

Post by gseidel on SMC_ERROR SMC_CGR_INVALID_POSPERIOD ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi blitz, that usually means that the modulo period, when converted to increments, is larger than 2^31. (The bus bandwidth is usually 2^32.) What is your "technical unit", do you program in angular degrees? And what is the modulo period? If you want you can post the drive configuration (screen shot of the "General" and "Scaling/Mapping" page). Best regards, Georg

Hallo, kann mir jemand was zu dieser Fehlermeldung sagen: Mitteilung vom Gerät: “Alarm online change executed but license for Online Configuration Change not aviable!” Habe erst letzte Woche noch auf dieser Steuerung (PFC300, FW30) eine Programmänderung gemacht und hat alles funktioniert. Die Meldung kommt am Schluss, wenn ich einen Online change gemacht habe. Dann geht die Steuerung mit Ausnahmefehler auf Stop.

your case looks different, the first one was an codesys modbus tcp-slave, your's an Master-Application with gateway. I dont know this Unit, but i would say, from Point of Codesys it looks wrong configured. Just give us more detailed configuration and the please make a sketch of the topology you're trying to realise.
