Post by martinlithlith on Relay board / relays for raspberry pi 3 b+ ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
hi! im planning a project on a raspberry with Codesys. For this I'll need a number of relays to control heating and fans, all a max of 24v and about 2a. How would i know if the board / relays i buy will be working with Codesys? Does every hat work or does it need a library/driver? is there a list of drivers/libraries created? as this is a hobby project all tips on a relay board or single boards that works with codesys and not to expensive are very welcome.

Post by miodusy on File transfer via visu and codesys automation server ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I have a problem with the file transfer library. Namely, it does not work via the codesys server. (error 5; overtime, and visualization resets). They operate mostly in local chains. I tested different browsers and VPN from the router. It works everywhere, except through access from the codesys automation server. The client, having many machines under one account, prefers to keep it that way rather than use an individual VPN just to download a backup. Does anyone have an idea what the problem is? Sylwester M.

Post by androidzz on Json Builder problem? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Dear reader, I am using the codesys JSON utilities SL, 1.9.0.0 library. And then specifically the FB JSONBuilder. I need to create a main object with at least 2 objects in it. The first object is no problem, but I cannot insert the second object into the main object. See attached my code and the result I get. I am assuming that I am doing something wrong with the parent index but have tried a lot and can't get it done. Kind regards, Rob

Post by yannickasselin on How to sort JSON object in codesys ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Just adding: sSubscriberdata := ''; Right before your memcopy should fix the extra characters. It is because your are copying 36 characters into a string which can contain more than 36 characters and there is garbage left in the extra characters. Regarding the parsing of json, I usually build a structure that mirrors the json data and use the available methods in the IIoT library to parse the data and fill the structure.

Post by gatewail0 on Digital Clock ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
You can definitely pull the actual system time into CODESYS without too much trouble. Take a look at the SysTimeRtc or SysTime library—both let you read the current date and time from the Raspberry Pi. You can call SysTimeRtcGet() or SysTimeGetTime() in your PLC code and then format the hours, minutes, and seconds into variables that feed your 7-segment visualization. Once you’ve mapped those values, your Visu display will update automatically each cycle. It’s a pretty common approach for clocks in CODESYS, so you should be able to get it working quickly. golf hit

Post by installwhat on C0077 on one machine but not another ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I have a version of codesys 3.5.16 on my local machine and a vm. The local machine has loads of codesys versions and libraries installed etc. I can open the FPosCR_Example_Project_SP16_patch1 project on my vm without any errors. On the local machine I get the error C0077: unknown type IoDrvEthercatLib.ETC_CO_SdoWrite. I can, on the local machine, declare a var of type IoDrvEthercatLib.ETC_CO_SdoWrite and include it in the code without adding an extra error. The problem only seems to affect the library. This is seems more an issue with my codesys set up rather than something with festo. I would like to know the possible causes. I understand most of the library manager features but it's not clear how to find the cause. Thanks

Codesys 3.5 17.30, plc - crevis GN-9373. I need to use RTC of pls for write in registers (need to check difference of writen 100 and 200 registers). For this i try to use SysTimeRtc (SysTimeRtc.SysTimeRtcGet) but its not working. After it i tryed to use SysTimeGetMs and something like this but still not working. Library? Mb but check project, SysTime with SysTimeRtc already, all what i know - already is here. Its my first try to learn ST (early used fbd and ladder, yeah), pls help with it. Mb problem with a syntaxis, but im not sure.

Post by micik on Using Codesys example problems ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello to all, I'm totally new to Codesys, but I do have some PLC programming experience, mosty with Siemens TIA and STEP7. I have just installed Codesys 3.5. sp19 and I have downloaded example with Ethernet Rockwell 1734AENT. The example can be found here: https://forge.codesys.com/prj/codesys-example/rockwell-1734-c/home/Home/ After opening, I had to manually update devices (Device, Ethernet, IP Scanner, EthernetIP adapter). However, when trying to build the project, I get the following errors: [WARNING] CODESYS_EtherNetIP_Rockwell1734AENT: Library Manager [Device: PLC Logic: Application]: C0100: Library System_VisuElemXYChart has not been added to the Library Manager, or no valid license could be found [WARNING] CODESYS_EtherNetIP_Rockwell1734AENT: Library Manager [Device: PLC Logic: Application]: C0100: Library system_visuinputs has not been added to the Library Manager, or no valid license could be found [ERROR] iodrvethernetip, 4.4.1.0 (3s - smart software solutions gmbh): ServiceCycle [IoDrvEtherNetIP]: C0040: Function 'ProcessUpdateConfigurationQueue' requires exactly '1' inputs [ERROR] iodrvethernetip, 4.4.1.0 (3s - smart software solutions gmbh): IoDrvStartBusCycle [IoDrvEtherNetIP]: C0040: Function 'GenerateRandomUINT' requires exactly '2' inputs [ERROR] iodrvethernetip, 4.4.1.0 (3s - smart software solutions gmbh): Cyclic [GenericServiceUnConnected]: C0040: Function 'GenerateRandomUINT' requires exactly '2' inputs [ERROR] cip object, 4.4.1.0 (3s - smart software solutions gmbh): ForwardOpenService [ConnectionManager]: C0040: Function 'GetAssemblies' requires exactly '3' inputs [ERROR] iodrvethernetipadapter, 4.4.0.0 (3s - smart software solutions gmbh): ServiceCycle [IoDrvEtherNetIPAdapter]: C0040: Function 'GenerateRandomUINT' requires exactly '2' inputs [ERROR] iodrvethernetip, 4.4.1.0 (3s - smart software solutions gmbh): SetupStructuredIOMapping [RemoteAdapter]: C0040: Function 'MallocData' requires exactly '1' inputs [ERROR] iodrvethernetip, 4.4.1.0 (3s - smart software solutions gmbh): SetupStructuredIOMapping [RemoteAdapter]: C0040: Function 'MallocData' requires exactly '1' inputs Compile complete -- 7 errors, 13 warnings Build complete -- 7 errors, 13 warnings : no download possible!

Post by mp9876 on Problem using MeasureFrequence FB ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi everyone, new at Codesys and PLC programming in general. I am using Codesys Win V3.5 SP20 I would like to measure an encoder's frequency output (obtaining that pulse train from Factory IO) and intended to use the MeasureFrequence FB (Intern/CAA/Utilities/CAA Mathematics/3.5.19.0). As mentioned in the title what I need to measure is low frequency, such as lower than 40hz (a cycle every 25mS) or so; I could even go lower frequency if required as this is for test purposes) therefore I am not expecting problem measuring a low frequency with that FB The library in question appears to be installed as I can retrieve it from the Library Repository. I can also see it from the Device's Library Manager. Problem arises when I am trying to instantiate this particular FB. I go like this: VAR MeasF:MeasureFrequence; END_VAR Please note that as soon as I start typing the "MeasureFrequence", the MeasureFrequence comes out as a viable option in auto-typing; seems to indicate that the FB is recognized somehow. But there is no way I can compile this as it comes back with the following: C0046: Identifier 'MeasureFrequence' not defined. Tried to rename that to ABC instead of MeasF; same issue. Possibly that the library is not properly installed ? Placeholder ? I would greatly appreciate a bit of guidance if possible. Thank you and regards, Mike

Post by gerdkoch on Dynamic I/Os Mapping ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, I assume that you have a Pfc200 G2 or something and work with the original WAGO runtime. Then I would recommend the WagoSysDynamicIoMapping. Here in the example projects there is a PDF file for the library: https://downloadcenter.wago.com/learning-material/details/ll0w3pmdunzvem83g1 There is a global functional component in a GVL of the library. I think it's called DynKbusIoManager or something. The active terminals are registered there. Then there are filter Fb's for e.g. the first clamp with a specific article number. Everything is in the PDF.

Post by mini-developer on Precompilation Error NBS.UDP_Peer ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I use the Library NBS from "caa net base services". After opening the Project i get 19 errors from the message window "Precompilation", most of them because it doesn't recognise a component of the FB "NBS.UD_Peer". (see photo) After compiling the Project at least 2 times, there are no errors. Is there a reason and solution for this behavior? Is there a problem with resolving the library? Thanks for any clue

Post by yannickasselin on Dynamically enabling/disabling Modbus slave devices in runtime (performance issue with timeouts) ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I would definitely try using the "Reconfigure" function block from "CAA Device Diagnosis@ library. https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/libs/CAA%20Device%20Diagnosis/3.5.17.0/CAA-Device-Diagnosis/Function-Blocks/Reconfigure/Reconfigure.html#:~:text=This%20function%20block%20reads%20and,take%20effect. Although I have not tried it with Modbus, I had great success with EtherNet/IP, Profinet and EtherCAT. You can also have a look at the other functions in this library. There are useful functions to help iterate through all the nodes under a master node.

Post by rodberna on Library for arrays ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, I'm creating a program where I need to handle arrays, like: - Declare lenght variable arrays - [array(1..var) of "sometype"]. This is not possible in pure codesys, right? - Know array lenght, min, max, avg values in runtime - append/delete itens in an array - and so on Is there a library know for this in codesys. Is it possible to build our own libraries using some high level language like python or java script?

Post by westcountryewe on Persistence Variables missing and DO NOT retain from Persistence Channel when using Boot Application ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
We've been experiencing an issue through SP18, SP19 and now SP20 where the Persistence Variables do not retain if we upload our program via a Boot Application. If we use the exact same program, and perform a Direct Upload via the Laptop and Ethernet connection, the Persistence Variables work exactly as expected. I have submitted 2 bug support tickets but I haven't had a response back from Codesys. Has anybody experienced the same issues and discovered a workaround? We have a requirement to utilise the Boot Application method because of logistical restrictions of being able to get out to every site, so at the moment it's a bit restriction.
