hi, anyone else having trouble with opc ua in codesys sp20? i get Error 'BadIdentityTokenInvalid' was returned during ActivateSession i have tried both windows x64 runtime and linux runtime. i have created a completely new codesys project for this. in each of them i have only added the symbol configuration and selected one tag. i have tried several opc ua client, like ua expert, nodejs and python. all return Error 'BadIdentityTokenInvalid' was returned during ActivateSession so the problem must be the opc ua server.

Your connection configuration should look something like the attachment. Consuming assembly O->T will be the hex of the assembly you want to reference for output data - I want 102 (DO Data Only) shown in the Wago web page 102 = 16#66. Producing assembly (T->O) is the assembly you require for input data - again shown in the Wago web page - I want 108 (DI Data Only) or 16#6C Then set the number of bytes as per the data in the Wago web page too (both 2 in my case)

Post by kleeswi on Visualization scaling problem with B&R T30 panel ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I have found a work around. I have written a python scripts that runs on user login (entry in .bashrc) which overwrites the webvisu.htm and webvisu.cfg.json file with the configuration for the B&R T30 panel (resolution and disable scaling). First I tried to add this setting to the the CODESYSControl.cfg, but that does not work following the big CODESYS Control V3 Manual.

I've seen that you can use cmds like below to run SA from scripts. system.commands["staticanalysis", "run"].execute() But I would like to run different SA configuration files to create separate logs and cant find anywhere in the scripting engine if this is supported. This stems from if I turn on everything, SA stops reporting issues in the message log when the list gets over 600ish issues. Once we have done an initial clean up of code this wont be an issue, but I'm trying to get a baseline to track improvement.

Post by alex-at-xana on EThercat Dynamic configuration ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Ah - forgot another question as it may be related to the PLL problem: I am executing a 4ms cycle. I do not call (from what I know) the Ethercat_MAster periodically in my program. The bus cycle task is set to the Ethercat task. I would assume that the master should send 250 frames per second. Yet, the status of the master says it transmits 500 frames per second which would indicate that the master is called twice. Any ideas there?

Post by dkugler on EThercat Dynamic configuration ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I can confirm that at my 4ms EtherCAT Master the frames per second is equal at round about 500 with Codesys SP19. The same program at SP16 it was at 380-430 f/sec. for me it will be interesting too, whats the reason is for this high frame count/sec? I havn't had the time to use a paket sniffer and analyse all the frames. I can't help with your other questions, sorry.

Post by jddaigle on TargetVisu controls are incorrectly positioned ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I'm trying to run TargetVisu on my Linux IPC, and while it does work, the controls are misaligned compared to my WebVisu. Both visualizations are full-screen on a Debian 12 VM with a resolution of 1280x768. The WebVisu is running in Firefox. Are there any configuration I should adjust to ensure the controls align properly between the two? Any guidance or troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

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 konstantinoskr on AXIS Rollover ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
The MC_Home or MC_SetPosition requires a programm cycle to be completed. In my application the speed is approximately 120m/min and the programm cycle is 2ms. That means that i will have a 4mm loss on each Trigger of either MC_Home or MC_SetPosition. The best option is to change the value defined in the axis configuration. I tried the SMC_SetMovementType but it only works with the axis standstill or powered off. I need to be able to change it while the axis is moving.

Post by trusty-squire on Ethernet/IP Scanner Exception ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
What is the task configuration? When you are online and look at the task monitor, what does it show? (Put a screenshot here). If the processor is overloaded you'll likely need to increase the cycle interval, disable the watchdog, or change to a cyclic task instead of interval based? Also, You might want to adjust your task priorities so they don't all have the same priority. Just a few thoughts, although looking at the task monitor would help in troubleshooting.

Post by pistola on Pause Tab Order ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I'm programming an HMI, and on a settings page I have external buttons allow the operator to tab between various elements to select which one they want to adjust. I then use "Input Configuration" > "OnMouseClick" to select which variable to adjust. The problem is, when adjusting the variable the pointer will move to the other elements within the tab order. Is there a way to pause or prevent the pointer to move to the other elements when a variable is TRUE?

Post by atone on Set DeviceID of an IO-Link Sensor at Runtime ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I need to be able to change (set) the DeviceID of an IO-Link sensor (see DeviceID.png) at runtime. I tried with both ProfinetCommon.PN_PortConfiguration and ProfinetCommon.IOL_PortConfiguration, but I get an error for both when I try to read the port configuration (see PN_PortConfiguration.png). Does one of those FBs is the right one for my purpose? Do I possibly make a mistake when assigning the parameter IOLD_ID/IOLM_ID?

Post by marcolim on RPC failed 0x16c9a085 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello Matteo, I think the problem is about configuration of firewall (windows firewall usually). You can disable temporary the firewall to check if the communication works. Eventually you can: Go to the control panel -> Windows Defender Firewall -> Allow an app or feature Enable the options to change the settings. Scroll down in the application list to CODESYS and CODESYS ControlService. If you don’t see this application add it to the list. Make sure that all the checkboxes are checked (Domain, Private and public).

Hi aniket-b, the maximum cycle time of the EtherCAT_Task is very high, ca. 35 ms. Could you please check if this is just the first cycle after starting the application or if it happens during motion? (You can reset the times in the task configuration by right-clicking in the "monitoring" tab.) Another thing to try: put the SoftMotion_Planning task on a different core. Best regards, Georg

Create an array of STRING and 1 INT variable, e.g.: asMyString : ARRAY[0..9] OF STRING; iIndex : INT; Then place a "Table" object in the visualization: - link this to the string array variable. - Check the option "Use Template" - Then in the Input Configuration - add the "Write Variable" command Somewhere else add a "Combobox, array" - link this to the same array. - And link the index to the INT variable. In the Combobox, you can then select one of the strings from the array. The index variable will indicate which selection has been made.

Post by sheberle on ERROR: Calling the program "AlarmStorage_Prg" is not allowed from multiple tasks ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Do you have any additional information about when the error occurs? I am trying to recreate this issue to find a workaround... Maybe you could also make the project available. You could add the following logfilter to the CODESYS configuration file: [CmpLog] Logger.0.Filter=0xFFFFFFFF Logger.0.Enable=1 Logger.0.MaxEntries=10000 Logger.0.MaxFileSize=1000000 SysSem.Filter=0xFFFFFFFF SysTask.Filter=0xFFFFFFFF I hope that the log filter will show us which task is responsible for this, so we can narrow it down a bit more.

Post by nulltrace on How change Unity-ID in TCP Modbus Slave ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Please explain how you configured that. Normaly, the Server should answer to all UID as long as gateway isn't activated. With activated gateway all UID will be forwarded to Serial-Interface, in taht case 255 has to be used for Gateway-Diagnostics. So that means, there is somethink wrong on your configuration. Which CDS-Version, Which Runtime-Version and so on are used.

Post by baltzer on ICertificateVerifier.VerifyCertificate doesn't appear to override an ERR_CERT_HAS_EXPIRED rejection in TCP_Client.Upgrade() ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Follow-up: working workaround found (routing TLS outside CODESYS) For anyone finding this thread later with the same problem (a third-party device presenting a self-signed and/or expired certificate that ICertificateVerifier/udiVerificationMode won't let you connect through) - we never got a working fix within NBS itself, but found a practical workaround worth sharing. Approach: run a local TLS-terminating proxy on the same host as the CODESYS runtime, and have CODESYS talk plain, unencrypted TCP to it instead of connecting to the remote device directly over TLS: CODESYS --plain TCP--> 127.0.0.1:<port> --stunnel/TLS--> <remote device>:<port> We used stunnel (client mode), with certificate verification explicitly disabled at that layer (verifyChain = no, verifyPeer = no) - a simple, well-documented one-line option, unlike anything we could get working inside NBS. Running it as a systemd service with Restart=always means it survives reboots and recovers automatically if the proxy or the remote device drops. On the CODESYS side, this required no changes beyond pointing TCP_Client at 127.0.0.1 instead of the device's real IP, and removing the TLSContext/ICertificateVerifier code entirely - the rest of our application-layer logic (framing, checksums, etc.) was completely unaffected, since none of that ever depended on where the TLS termination happened. Confirmed working end-to-end against a real device with an expired self-signed certificate, running on CODESYS Control for Raspberry Pi SL (Linux). We haven't yet set this up on Windows - stunnel does have Windows builds available, so the same general approach should be possible there too, but that combination isn't tested or confirmed by us at this point. Caveat: this only makes sense when the proxy and the CODESYS runtime are on the same trusted host (in our case, both on the same Raspberry Pi) - don't expose the proxy's plaintext side on a reachable network interface, since that would create an unauthenticated plaintext path to the device. The original question - whether there's a supported way to override an ERR_CERT_HAS_EXPIRED/self-signed rejection from within NBS's own TLSContext/ICertificateVerifier - remains open as far as we know. Still happy to hear from anyone who's solved that particular piece, since the workaround above is a practical detour rather than an actual answer to the original question.

Post by mozed on Connection to device closed ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello I am using an OpusA3 with version 3.5 SP17 Patch 3 as part of a project. I had no real problem before I encountered a problem that blocked me. The detection of the OpusA3 from Codesys is done correctly. The gateway is well configured and if I ping the gateway or the OpusA3 I receive the response correctly. The problem is that when I try to connect, the Opus screen freezes and a few moments later Codesys displays an error message ("connection to device closed"). I tried to change PC, to update the runtime, to change OpusA3 but the problem remains the same. I'm a little lost knowing that before it worked without problem. I went back to a previous version of the project (where it worked correctly) but the message still appears. Do you have any clues to solve the problem? Sincerely,

Hi, I am quite new to Codesys and I try to do a Profinet connection to an Siemens PLC (315-2DP) with CP343-1 Lean Modul. I already configured the Siemens PLC, exported the GSDML. Then I added a new project in Codesys, added following moduls: - Ethernet - PN_Controller - Imported Profinet Device via GSDML importer When I start the programm everything looks fine but I always get the message "Stopped Profinet" and no data is available This is only for a small test. Therefore I start to do that on a Windows 10 with Development System. Later I will try to realize this on Raspberry. Ethernet Adapter is configured (192.168.1.1 / 24) Firewall deactivated WinPCap is installed S7-Station seems to be found ('fuadazenzitest') Can please somebody help me?
