Post by stiller on OPC UA RPI 4.8.0.0 Status Code / "out of range" ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I have an OPC-UA server with an information model. For many values, there is a defined range (e.g., 0 to 100). If a client enters a value outside this range (e.g., 120), the StatusCode should change to Bad. How can I accomplish this? Any help is appreciated! Thank you in advance. Best regards, Christian Stiller

Post by dengsberg on Check Connection Status of the OPC-UA Server for Data Source Manager with OPC-UA Client ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I am using the Data Source Manager with OPC-UA Client to get data from another CodeSys application in the same Project. How can I check in the PLC_PRG structured text if the connection is ok or not?

Unfortunately , Data Source Manager from Codesys has any problem with OPC UA Server delivered with ifix SCADA. Someone can help me add manually any tag from UaExpert to codesys ? How should be was a structure for an example of one tag ? I try like in attachement, but question is , if it a good idea ?

Post by ekristoffe on Modbus UDP ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
UDP has no packet ordering mechanism, and Modbus protocol has no order checking mechanism nor session establishment. I'm sorry but this is false, Modbus IP based have the Transaction Identifier. Transaction Identifier - It is used for transaction pairing, the MODBUS server copies in the response the transaction identifier of the request. Modbus UDP make more sense than Modbus TCP in a local environment.

Post by madskaizer on Exception when OPCUA datasource disconnects from Server ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
We have similar issues, with crashing PLCs, but this ranges from 3.5.16.40 to 3.5.19.70. Which log made you confirm the exception crash? I am currently looking for evidence of what causes our PLCs to crash. Network stability could be an issue with latest security roll-outs like 802.1X and segregation.

Post by kurtk on Modbus TCP Server ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
ditto I'm just getting my codesys wheels on and the modbus stuff is confusing. I am re-platforming an existing PLC application On that platform one could simply tag variables to register numbers and the whole shooting match could be accessed via modbus and typically holding registers and input registers were treated the same way... On codesys I see there is a modbus TCP server Device I/O mapping tab and a Modbus TCP server IEC objects tab I get the sense that one can configure the serving of variables both/either way but am unclear about the optimum/necessary path. Apparently in the IEC Objects tab one can "ADD" something or other - presumeably channels. I have created a preliminary function block but the Select Function Block window shows nothing to select WTH ? I exported the Device mapping and was surprised to see the entire Device IO map - complete with all the bit-mapped holding/input registers!! WTH!!?? Bit-mapped words are strictly a nichey special purpose application. I am targetting making a couple hundred variables available which would turn into hundreds of pages of IO/mapping Is the FUnction Block IEC objects thingy an alternative to that ? I notice that CODESYS shows the tags which the PLC used to specify the register address... are tags used in CODESYS for any specific hard-core purpose ?

Post by dekelec on Codesys 2.3 & Peak PCAN ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I use Peak USB adapter daily to download from CoDeSys 2.3 and 3.5 to IFM, EPEC and other controllers. The process: - First you need to install the appropriate driver. Link: https://www.peak-system.com/Drivers.523.0.html?&L=1 - Restart the computer - Start the CoDeSys application - Change the name of the adapter in Communication parameters, as mentioned in previous comment. Write the name exactly as written "Peak_USB", as it could also be case sensitive (defines which .dll file to use). If this doesn't work I would contact the vendor of the controller to find out the procedure. In the attachment I've added a FAQ document from IFM regarding using PCAN USB. P.S. I've noticed in your picture of communication parameters a channel via TCP/IP is mentioned. In this case a USB to CAN connection is not being used. First you should change the channel/gateway to connect via CANbus or connect using an Ethernet cable.

Post by risele on Modbus connection via Qronox PCD3 M6893 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
You are welcome. Also note, that it's valid only if you modbus-device use same real/float value representation (IEEE 754). That's true for most of systems. But some devices may have other representation, such as integer + position of the decimal point, for example 123.456 is integer = 123456 and position = 3 Also note, that, ones again, depending on endianess of each system, you may also need to swap not just words, but bytes. TYPE u_Real : UNION rVal:REAL; wVal:ARRAY[0..1] OF WORD; bVal:ARRAY[0..3] OF BYTE; dwVAL:DWORD; //same as previous, may be easier to specify the MB register END_UNION END_TYPE than swapping may be something as VAR A,B,C,D:BYTE; //Bytes of the real value uIn, uOut:u_Real; rVal:REAL; ModbusReg1,ModbusReg2:WORD; END_VAR uIn.rVal:=rVal; uOut.A:=uIn.D; uOut.B:=uIn.C; uOut.C:=uIn.B; uOut.D:=uIn.A; ModbusReg1:=uOut.wVal[0]; ModbusReg1:=uOut.wVal[2]; Or you even need to reorder bits... Ones again, sending float/real values is not defined by Modbus protocol itself, so it is hardware- and software-dependent. The Modbus Poll (and most of modbus tools) have configuration parameters that will properly swap bytes on their side. Ones again, that's very helpful: https://www.scadacore.com/tools/programming-calculators/online-hex-converter/

Post by garrian on How to write multiple coils (Modbus FC15) ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Thanks! As far as I can see, the client can only send words. And on the server side there are an array for each of the functions: bool for coil and discrete, word for holding and input registers. I assume I can use holding register, then use bit mapping on the words instead of coils. But I really want to use the FC15/coils.

Post by smartcoco on Opaque NodeId in the OPC UA server ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
This seems to be because when creating 'OPC UA' with 'Communication Manager', the 'IdentifierType' of 'NodeId' cannot be configured as' String 'type. This issue is not an isolated case. For this issue, CODESYS seems to have not provided guidance to users on how to proceed. We can provide feedback on this issue in the 'My Question' section of the 'CODESYS Store' to make CODESYS take it seriously.

Post by dhumphries on Control for Linux SL on Ubuntu Core ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Try using a password instead of a public key to log into the controller. I have a video showing how to do this on a default installation of Ubuntu server, it should work the same for Ubuntu Core. https://youtu.be/rj0dOhgnGjs?si=352PmveEP7JXZnO- I sign in to the controller at about 6:40 in the video. I have never tried to remove the public key and revert to signing in using a password, but it looks pretty straightforward https://askubuntu.com/questions/745423/how-to-turn-off-password-less-login-for-ssh

Post by pmanuele on Beckhoff AS1060 and EL7041 configuration ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello everyone, i'm having some problems commanding AS1060 step motor with EL7041 (rev22) drive. With motor i've also the incremental encoder (05.2420.1230.0200.5009). I can correctly move the motor in "Position controller" operating mode with the internal counter. The problems start when i set the Encoder in feedback type or i change the operating mode. Does anyone have experience with these two terminals and can give me some advice of main parameters to check or change? Thanks everyone

Post by sercan on Connecting Parameter 'A' in G-Code to Physical Axis in CNC Project ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I want to run the following command by linking it to the A-Axis: G01 A45.0 Which TRAFO should I use to do this? SMC_TRAFO_5Axes and SMC_TRAFO_GantryCutter3 function blocks did not work! For example, when SMC_TRAFO_5Axes is used, parameters B and C can be resolved by the transformer. However, parameter A cannot be resolved. Only SMC_Interpolator displays the value of parameter A in the SMC_Interpolator => piSetPosition.dA output. Should I drive this axis with SoftMotion commands (MC_MoveAbsolute etc.)?

Post by jgalaska on SMC_Trafo 6DOF Config Error ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, Recently I was trying to run 6DOF robot in codesys via SMC_Trafo_ArticulatedRobot_6DOF, unfortunately no matter what parameters I tried, it always outputs InvalidConfig Error. I saw the same issue in a topic: https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/Motion/thread/16e1f0327f/ But if I understand correctly, the user solved it by developing his own version of this block. I wanted to know if it is a bug in the library (SM3_CNC 4.20.0.0) or am I doing something wrong? Can anyone confirm that they can use the FB without it reporing the Error? Kind regards,
