Post by wind-11 on Problem with simulation Modbus ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello everyone, I encountered a problem in the simulation while working. In a test project we set up a Modbus connection. We wanted to simulate this with test values. The connection also worked, but unfortunately the values are frozen and do not report any “current data”. (Picture attached) Since these are my first points of contact with Codesys and my colleague continues to work elsewhere, I was hoping that someone here might have an idea. Kind regards and thanks in advance.

Hello @rmaas I assume, you've already verified and tuned everything regarding the EtherCAT network. In my case the problem was due to a wrong core assignement. I suggest to not use the core #0 for your EtherCAT task. The OS realtime patch, which is present on RevPi OS, uses the core #0 for its porpouses and it mustn't be used by any other task which requires realtime and deterministic features. regards Rossano

Post by eschwellinger on License problem gateway ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I just try to help. Anyway it is a big difference if a Store SL runtime or an oem plc and licence is used. These licenses need to be activated on plc side - so you have dependencies to the version (CODESYS and Runtime Version) Did you ever ask Epis out for this situation? They should know which license fit to their device. Even they should know if the device is capable for Softmotion and see the requiremnts in the CODESYS store: Runtime 4.9.0.0 - how should this work with Epis 3.5.16.x? Anyway refund is not a problem.

Post by plunje on Sensor not set ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
A got a larger project but this very small example makes it clear. I have a button, and after it's clicked a lamp should flip on and stays on, and when the mouse-button is released it should stay on. When I try that in the PLC_PRG it works, but when I change it to a function block (seet attched demo proj) it isn't. I'm fairly new to PLC programming but are very experienced C# engineer, but this goes above my head...

Post by gseidel on MC_Phasing state explenation ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi kenth1973, MC_Phasing has been improved in recent versions. I would recommend to install the latest version of SoftMotion (4.20.1.0) and test whether the problem still exists, and if so, what the error identifier is. (Also check the PLC log in this case, it might contain additional information.) Setting the internal state of the FB is not recommended, it could lead to malfunction of the FB and unintended movements of the drive. Best regards, Georg

Post by marciohogenelst on stablish CAN communication through the PC's USB port ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I'm using Codesys v3.21SP4 on my PC via ControlWin to establish CAN communication through the PC's USB port. The software works fine. The CAN/USB converter works fine and is validated. However, there is no communication. Which folder and file should be modified to allow the CAN/USB converter to work and thus achieve the connection? Converter used: PCAN-View Information not yet processed: Access the folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\3S CODESYS\GatewayPLC\CODESYSControl.cfg Uncomment the line: Component.5=CmpPCANBasicDrv Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I am still not able to figure out how to use the the classes and their functions. 😔 Let's say I would like to use the function "importfile()" from the class "ScriptTextListObject.ScriptTextListMarker". I would be grateful for an additional example. Thanks! 😊

Post by laazik2 on v3.5 SP19 - Modbus TCP Devices - Channel Limit? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I am actually wondering as well if there are plans to fix it or not? As adding two modbus devices creates it's own problems with connection limits and other issues, which some slave devices have.

CFC (page oriented) editor does vertical scroll by mousewheel and zoom by ctrl + mousewheel, allright. How do I do the horizontal scroll (pan) using the mousewheel? (I do not want to drag the scrollbar, I am sure you have guessed by now.)

Hi, I have been trying to get a CANbus device working with Codesys 3.5SP19 patch1 via a Beckhoff EL6751 gateway without success. I have the CANOpen_Manager and CANopen device configured but this will not run. Is there any code required to kickstart the CANbus comms into action? Regards Trevor

Post by eschwellinger on RPI Zero w - Edge gateway cant install ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
ok now it is clear - this is a single core Pi Zero W. For this device there is no edge device available. But just for working with CODESYS it is not really needed and yes plc runs only for 2h unlicensed.

/dev/spidev0.0 and /dev/spidev0.1 are SPI interfaces - so you could not map them to serial ports that way. The serial port: [SysCom] Linux.DeviceFile.1=/dev/serial0 for Com1

Is is possible to use the compiler "Fix Version" in SP18+? I have noticed that in SP17 and below, the option is available in the compiler options under project settings, but in versions 18+ it is unselectable. The help topic does not provide any information.

I think you have already up and running an Edge on the host ( not in the container) please uninstall that edge, then it should work.
