Post by winki on Modbus TCP & RTU with Control for Linux SL ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
For small project, I would like to use my industrial computer as a PLC + Industrial Computer. Like that I can save the cost of one PLC. That why I am using Codesys on Linux. With the nic it is not working. I already set the IP adress with /etc/network/interfaces. Can it comes from there ? looking to "Control Linux SL" docuemntation it should work with rtu.

estou com um PLC festo CECX-X-C1, gostaria de comunicá-lo com a ihm weintek, o clp possui o módulo ethernet e no maual fala que por conta disso deve comunicar em tcp ip, modbus e etc, mas já tentei seguir o manual e nada. Na configuração do hardware ele não me aparece o módulo de ethernet pra configurar e não consigo encontrar o pacote para codesys 2.3 contendo esse módulo, alguém poderia me ajudar?

hi guys Maybe someone can help me in this case. Im working with codesys 3.5 with an PFC200 (750-8212) with a Modbus TCP conection to the 750-362. On the 750-362 i have a 4DO, 8DI and a RS485 interface card. the 4DO and 8DI cards a working fine but im strugling with the rs485 card. Does someone have a example for this?

Post by rh-pk on v3.5 SP19 - Modbus TCP Devices - Channel Limit? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello Vincent, I don't have 75 channels but it works for me as described above without any problems. There is also a parameter MAX_MODBUS_CHANNELS in the library parameters for the IoDrvModbusTCP module. The default value there is 100. Perhaps you are reaching the limit there? The value can be adjusted accordingly. I assume that this value is not accepted in the input dialogue and therefore the 'fixed' limit value 10 is used.

Post by atcprojectteam on Modbus Function Code 15, writing multiple coils ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi all, I am using an RSTI-EP I/O card along with the EPXMBE101 Modbus/TCP network adapter. I have a Control Standard L license. I successfully connected to the I/O card via Modbus and can read inputs without any issues. However, when I try to write to the digital output modules using function code 15, I am unable to make any changes. Here’s what I have done so far: I created a small project using Structured Text. I set up Modbus channels (as shown in the attached image) and mapped the pins. When I use cyclic mode, the connection results in an error. However, when I use the rising edge, the connection works, but I don’t see any changes on the I/O card. For the output module, I assigned one bit to high. After that, I ran CODESYS Control Win V3. (Should I be running the PLC as well?) I built the program, but I am not receiving any response from the I/O card. Could you please advise on what might be causing this issue?

Post by forest on SM Drive license error ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, when it comes about license, I used INVTmatic Studio, which uses Codesys, for programming INVT plc. I bought Codesys Modbus license, it was not expensive, and then realised that INVT didn't have License Manager option (greyed out in program) which is needed for using of Codesys License. I contacted support from INVT, but developers told me that option is still not available. So depending on environment for programming Codesys, you can or not use Modbus license. Good thing about this version of Modbus TCP it works both direction. I could send commands and receive feedbacks from drive. But communication stops after 30 mins. So I used simple version of ethernet modbus which is somewhere in INVT or Condesys library (I can check tomorrow) which works only one way. I could send cmd to drive, and control it, but didn't have any feedback, like some readings back in PLC. which is bad, but at least I could start it and it didn't fail after 30 mins.

Hallo an alle, ich schaue mir gerade ein paar 22kW Wallboxen an: https://shop.einfacheauto.de/collections/22-kw-wallboxen Mir wäre vor allem wichtig, dass die Kommunikation per Modbus gut funktioniert. Es werden zwar ein paar Wallboxen gelistet, die Modbus ermöglichen, trotzdem wollte ich euch nach Erfahrungen fragen, welche Modelle in der Hinsicht besonders problemfrei funktionieren.

Post by sandro66 on Application-based license Modbus Channels ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi Gatto, Using version 3.5.21.xx, it is no longer possible to use Modbus function blocks (I make extensive use of these FBs.)as shown in the example. https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Examples/_ex_modbus_example.html The compiler detects one Modbus instance for each instance of the communication FB block. The example program above, although simple, reports 8 Modbus instances when compiled with the latest version. Codesys Support says that you must use fieldbus I/O mapping, but this will result in the loss of the ability to programmatically modify communication parameters. Sandro

Post by tobifenny on Modbus TLS Kommunikation ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Ich habe eine Wallbox, die ich gerne per Modbus ansteuern würde. Die Normale Modbus-Kommunikation, um ein paar Werte auszulesen klappt auch. Wenn ich aber Zugriff auf bestimmte Modbus-Register haben möchte, benötigt die Wallbox ein TLS-Zertifikat. Das Zertifikat habe ich bereits erstellt und im Security-Sreen unter Eigene Zertifikate hochgeladen. Weiter komme ich aber nicht mehr. Wie baue ich eine TLS-Verbindung mit der Waalbox auf? Vielleicht hat das ja schonmal jemand gemacht und ein Beispiel für mich. Ich bin über jede Hilfe sehr Dankbar!

Post by arundara on Variable Sync Issue In Soft Plc Redundancy ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I was trying to create a redundancy POC for our application where we read data from few modbus tcp devices. As there is a limitaion that modbus tcp device support only for single master device, we wanted to test how the variable sync happens in redundancy mode. For that i have used the redundancy sample code added a variable "b" under a condition. What i observed was while active controller is running, if passive controller is powerup, passive controller is able to sync all the data configured for redundacny. But after that the variable data which resided under a condition is not synching from active to passive controller. I have attached the image where i have highlighter the variable. Can some help me to understand how redundacny work in codesys soft plc and if there is a solution to sync variable which are under condition, please explain the same or suggestion to achieve the same. Hardware - Raspberry Pi (2 qty) Redundancy licence used - yes in both controllers. Codesys runtime - 4.9.0.0 Codesys software version - V3.5 SP19 if i have posted this question in wrong section, please do let me know in whcih section i have to post this question.

Post by thewizard8 on Raspberry PI4 Serial Port ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi Dear All, I'm using my raspberry PI4 as a CoDeSyS PLC (Build from scratch with custom electronics). I was able to implement all fieldbuses with the exception of Modbus Serial. I'm using the internal Port (GPIO) and I configured it in /etc/Codesyscontrol_user.cfg the following away: [SysCom] Linux.Devicefile.1=/dev/ttyUSB0 Linux.Devicefile.2=/dev/ttyS0 I'm using COM2 on Master configuration. I'm using a interface board from TTL/RS485 (bidirectional board), and it's works perfectly with other devices but not in CoDeSyS. I'm able to send data with python script and read it on my pc using putty, but when I use a modbus slave simulator to interface with codesys I always get red icons on master and slave. (Please find image attached). I'm pretty shure that this might be a bad parameter on my CoDeSyS runtime configurstion file. Can someone help me? I'm stuck and this is for my master degree certification.
