Post by amy123 on codesys mqtt publish serialization ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I am using the CODESYS IIoT Libraries SL MQTT Publish. Does this publish block only support publishing STRINGS as a readable format? I can publish ENUM, STRUCT, BOOL; however, MQTT Explorer will only display strings. When I use Wireshark, I can see that it is publishing something, but it looks to be publishing a serialized version which is a bunch of 0s or random text. If so, is there any way to deserialize this information back into a readable format? See pictures, where I have a BOOL TRUE that gets published as 001. Then see where I publish a STRUCT and it's an incomprehensible combination of 0s - only the string variable is displayed. Or, is it expected that you convert everything to a string before publishing? Any help is greatly appreciated! :)

Post by xiaolo on Raspberry Pi 5 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Does Ver. 4.12 support Raspberry Pi 5? I have three issues. The first issue is that Codesys cannot detect the RPI 5 when I want to download the runtime. When assigning the IP Address manually then I can download the runtime. The second issue is that I cannot connect to the RPI to download a program. Sometimes the window pops up and it ask for the user credentials, but it is still not connecting. The third issue is that I cannot connect to an ESP32 configured as a Modbus Slave with a Raspberry Pi 4B. I can connect to the ESP32 via a Radzio! Modbus Master Simulator. I am also missing the function Write Holding Registers in the setup of the slave. Are this known issues and when it will be solved?

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 tvm on SEND_RECV_MSG function block on Schneider Machine Expert ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Anyone else using the SEND_RECV_MSG function block for RS-485 communication on Schneider Machine Expert? I have had ongoing issues with it for several years, which Schneider tech support is aware of, but hasn't been able to fix. The latest version of Machine Expert (v2.2) appears to have broken some of the functionality altogether. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone else using this platform for serial communication.

Post by matthew on High resolution displays with 150% scaling causes CodeSys IDE to be blurry ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I have just upgraded my laptop which has a high res display 2560x1600 and I have to have scaling switch on at 150% but everything looks blurry and not crisp, It seems CodeSys IDE is the only software on my system to look this bad, if I switch to 100% it's crisp but way to small. From a bit of research this could be due to the use of old windows forms or something? I have found a temp workaround that sort of works but not great. You have to run CodeSys in compatibility mode and adjust the DPI settings, this works ok and the editor is clear and crisp again but the actual tool bars are small like running at 100% Anyone got any tips for running CodeSys on high res displays with scaling?

Post by mp9876 on Device logon problem following fresh install ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Yes it had been the case I believe as I have seen that message regarding they were not the same. I had update the device though to match them and that still did not fix the problem. I gotta say I wanted to get out of that situation and attempted a lot of things and then I did two things at the same time that fixed my problem: Wiped the 64 bit version and installed the 32 bit version Installed latest SP20 I wish I knew which one of these actions fixed the problem but now I gotta catch up on this IDE learning; it's been quite a learning experience I have to say! Thank you very much for your time and advice; much appreciated!

Post by ellocco on Leitungsverzweigung mit einem existierenden Block (z.B. AND-Glied) zu verbinden ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Is it possible under CODESYS V3.5 SP18, to connect a split (german Leitungsverzweigung) with an existing block (e.g. AND-module)? Or to connect the output of an existing block to the input of an existing block (e.g. OR-block)? Any ideas? P.S.: Sorry for the german title, I do not know how modify the title.

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 peterkcontrols on Making a Visu Element normally invisible and visible if variable is true ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello I would like an element in my visu to be only visible when a certain Variable is true, currently it is only capable of being normally visible and then invisible if a certain variable is true. Is this possible without programming a new variable to be the opposite of my desired control variable? Thanks.

Change the actual time of your PLC. How to do this sometimes depends on the PLC you use. Please contact the vendor of the PLC to get this information. Or see the following example for using CODESYS date and time functions: https://forge.codesys.com/prj/codesys-example/date-and-time/home/Home/

Post by eschwellinger on New Ladder Diagram conversion does not work due to missing features ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
The "remove unused" parameters have been added to 1.0 version as well as the "manual" removal of pins... also allowed "empty" inputs for blocks is in and the compile error described there should no longer occurs. Drag drop of variables is not yet implemented and I don't think the double-click feature yet either.

Post by aarondw10 on Use element properties ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Assume I have a rectangle named rec1 from which I want to use the coordinates of the upper left corner. Is there a way to links these X and Y values from the properties to an integer defined in the main program? Note that I just want to use them and not change any of these coordinates in the program.

Post by markushunter on Different behavior between the "Start" button in the IDE and the Cmp function "AppStartApplication()" ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
One workaround is to create a second application which is started after the rested of the main application. The second application starts the main application after time x and is rest after done start of the main application. No problems during the fieldbus re-start by this workaround.

Post by blitz on SMC_ERROR SMC_CGR_INVALID_POSPERIOD ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Codesys - SMC_ERROR SMC_CGR_INVALID_POSPERIOD - Invalid modulo period less than or equal to zero or greater than half the bus bandwidth. Has anyone seen this error and actually understands what it means and how to get rid of it? I tried to work around it by reducing the number of increments on the drive but then the drive itself starts throwing errors.
