Post by sumit on Not able to see input data coming from eip adapter on codesys ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello there, I have an eip adapter running (remotely) that is sending data back to eip scanner (running on codesys). I can send data from scanner (codesys) to the adapter but not getting the data back from the adapter. I have verified the incoming data on wireshark but I don't see this data in the codesys. I have tried local variable mapping and global variable mapping not variable values just stays at 0. Please guide.

Hello, everyone. How are you? Please help me with my library error. When I open the CODESyS project, the error message is Could not open library “#loDrvEthernet. (Reason: The placeholder library ToDrvethemet’ could not be resolved.) I tried to find solution to fix this . and the help teach me to run this command "Update placeholder <iodrvethernet> to the newest version:" Is this right ? But I couldn't find where I input this command and how to run it. Or any other solution , please ?</iodrvethernet>

Post by totorovic on Softmotion not working with simulation mode ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Good morning, I think that the mode Simulation does not support the Softmotion functionnality because it runs the CODESYS process with normal priority wich is not a good thing for real-time behavior. If you want to test your PLC project, please use a Codesys Control Softmotion (and your computer must have the Ethercat driver installed) or much easier, download your code into the C6 Smart. BR

Hi We have picked up an issue OSCAT_BASIC.Scale_r function call not working in the old lad and FBD version 4.60. Gives no output on the function call. When we convert this to LAD2 it works. As can be see by the two screenshot in normal LD not working in LAD2 it works. Please confirm if this is an issue with Oscat or with LAD in 3.5.21sp3, is there an workaround. Regards Shaun

Post by tommyk-mar on Smooth path is not working with SMC_NCInterpreter ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, Im using SMC_NCInterpreter and SMC_NCReadFile2 to read gcode program for CNC machine and what I have observed is that G51 and G52 is not smoothing the path. Machine stops in every point, what could I do to make machine pass through the points without stopping or what could allow me to use smooth path corretly if I use NCInterpreter. Im using it because I want to add variables to my gcode and its not possible directly from the CNC editor thats why I do use external file. Any ideas?

Post by eschwellinger on cannot connect ot linux runtime: device does not answer the scanrequest ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
for me looks like you do not use latest CODESYS IDE version, there is a known bug if you use a newer runtime your are forced to use a more complex password as user for the login. The old IDE version does not show this problem on login. so either update CODESYS or use a pw which meet the complexity requirements.

Post by duvanmoreno24 on Modbus writing on value change ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi all, I want to know if someone has an idea of how I can write on value change in Modbus Codesys. I have a Wago PLC and I was used to work with E-cockpit which it was quite easy to do that without the necessity to trigger any value when there was a change in the variable ( I will put how easy is ). how you can see just changing the trigger in "On value Change" will do that channel writing automatically when It detects a change in those arrays. On the other hand, in Codesys if I enable the rising edge in Codesys It ask me to put a bool variable and if triggers is going to write that value. That is making me that I have to create a function or a logic to detect the change, the problem I have is that doing that is very tedious. I first approach I got it was to create a Function who returns a bool when the value change, but I tried to keep the old value but what is happening is that in Functions all the data is erased every cycle so I can not keep any Old value. so in the Main program the trigger is going to be TRUE all the time due, the old value is cero every cycle. The second approach I got it was using a function Block (POU_1) and it works but I dont want to instance that function for every Channel or value that I want to check if the value change, Basically if I have 200 values to write trhough modbus I have to create 200 instances of that function which I think it is not practicall at all. It should be a better way to implement this as e-Cockpit from Wago Does. However, I haven't been able to know how.

Post by timvh on How to implement an interface (IElement)? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
See: https://forge.codesys.com/prj/codesys-example/element-collect/home/Home/ This contains an application "OnlineChangeSafeLinkedListExample". What you should do is create a new interface which has your "Priority" property. Then your FB should extend the base element function block and implement your own interface: E.g. FUNCTION_BLOCK MyElement EXTENDS COL.LinkedListElementBase IMPLEMENTS I_MyInterface Then the __QUERYINTERFACE does the magic to check if your "element" also implements your interface. Something like this: // Compares this element with itfElement. // Returns 0 if the elements are equal, < 0 if the element is less than itfElement, // > 0 if the element is greater than itfElement. // This method will be called from sorted collections (e.g. |COL.SortedList|) to sort the elements. // IMPORTANT: The underlying value to be compared with MUST NOT be changed during the lifecycle of the object. METHOD ElementCompareTo : INT VAR_INPUT (* The element to compare*) itfElement : COL.IElement; END_VAR VAR itfIntElement : I_MyInterface; xResult : BOOL; END_VAR // We use integer iInt1 for sorting. xResult := __QUERYINTERFACE(itfElement, itfIntElement); IF xResult THEN IF iInt1 < itfIntElement.Priority THEN ElementCompareTo := -1; ELSIF iInt1 > itfIntElement.Priority THEN ElementCompareTo := 1; ELSE ElementCompareTo := 0; END_IF ELSE ElementCompareTo := -1; END_IF

Post by gseidel on Mismatch between coordinate monitor and actual motion using SMC_GroupJog2, MC_MoveLinearAbsolute (6DOF) ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi darwin01, looking at the video and comparing the movement with the first figure in https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/libs/SM3_Transformation/Current/SM3_Transformation/Function-Blocks/Standalone-Kinematics/Articulated-Robots/6AxisArticulated/Kin_ArticulatedRobot_6DOF.html, I think that the direction of rotation does not match between the RoboDK model and the CODESYS 6DOF kinematics. In the CODESYS kinematics, A1 and A2, when moved in positive direction, rotate into the opposite direction to what the RoboDK model does. This could explain the strange movements. For real axes, you could change the direction using the "Invert direction" flag of the scaling/mapping page. For your simulation, you could manually invert the position of the axes A1 and A2 before sending them to RoboDK. (A0 seems correct, please also check A3, A4, and A5. The figure I mentioned gives the order of positive rotation with arrows through the joints. You can use the right-hand-rule to see what the positive rotation is.) Best regards, Georg

Post by josul on Alarm Manager - Disk IO Error and Memory Double Free Exception ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I have encountered an issue with Alarm management. A simple Alarm table to display active alarms. Historical alarms can be hidden and can also be cleared. Overall a history of 10000 alarms before it cycles. On one instance this error displayed: "Some kind of disk I/O error ocurred. Check disk space". Picture attached. I have seen this with an online change, but it was resolved by a full download. But this case was running for weeks and displaying alarms fine. The logged errors though were unusual. Associated log entries (multiples of these were logged): 2026-10-07T12:17:17.603Z, 0x0000001f, 8, 1, 0, #### Exception: Memory double free detected: <cmp>AlarmConfig</cmp> <addr>0x80330d0</addr> And later in the same day, the entire application encountered an exception: 2026-10-07T19:33:48.583Z, 0x00000011, 8, 81, 3, #### Exception: *EXCEPTION* [<excpt>AccessViolation</excpt>] occurred: App=[<app>Application</app>], T> 2026-10-07T19:33:48.583Z, 0x00000011, 8, 81, 3, #### Exception: *SOURCEPOSITION* App=[<app>Application</app>] area=<area>0</area>, offset=<off>9548256> I haven't found any explanation for a "Memory double free detected" and I'm unsure how to prevent it occurring. I suspect it might be the cause of the "Access Violation" exception, but how can I be sure of this? Would defining VISU_NO_EXCEPTION_HANDLING be advisable or not in a production environment? Any advice is welcome.

Post by charleskirkland on Connect to Azure IoT Hub ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
It sounds like your TLS setup is basically correct, since the handshake works via OpenSSL, so the issue is likely on the CODESYS side rather than the certificates themselves. From what I’ve seen with the Azure IoT Hub Client SL library, you should double-check that the SAS token is actually being generated and passed correctly to the function blocks (especially wsDeviceSaS) and that the MQTT/HTTPS FB is really triggered cyclically-otherwise the controller won’t initiate the connection at all. Also, make sure DNS, time (NTP), and full certificate chain trust are properly configured on the controller, since IoT Hub authentication depends on them even when using SAS tokens. Another thing worth checking is the library/runtime version-there are reports that certain versions changed behavior and caused connection issues. I’d recommend starting with the official demo project (AzureMQTTDemo) and comparing it step by step with your setup to see what’s missing or not triggered. Speed Stars

Post by jerry-sorrells on Find Function: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Build: CODESYS 3.5 SP19 Patch 1 (64-bit) Host OS: Windows 10 Target: Linux SL I have a project with programs in Structured Text and Ladder Diagram. When I try to use the Find function, it works for the Active Editor; however, when I try to use Find for the Entire Project, I get the error "Object reference not set to the instance of an object." I know what this error means in the context of the program, but I have no idea why the find function is returning this error. The variable I am searching does not matter: it happens with all variables. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated. I generally use the Find function quite often as I am developing and not having it is really slowing me down.
