Post by critcho on WebVisu Numpad dialog - Dialogtitle not accepting string variable ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I have a WebVisu page which is re-used for multiple types of gas; it displays the alarm thresholds etc. for one gas at a time. I have an array of structures holding the set-points for each of the gasses. I'm trying to change the dialog title for the value input pop-up (VisuDialogs.Numpad). The Dialogtitle is set to Gas_Alarms.HighAlarmActivationLevelDialog, which is a string(50): When the gas type is changed (page first loaded, or prev/next buttons), METHOD Gas_Alarms.Update_Display_Variables is called, to update the strings used for the dialog titles so it shows GasName High Alarm Activation Level (EngineeringUnits), e.g. CO2 High Alarm Activation Level (PPM): HighAlarmActivationLevelDialog := Insert(' High Alarm Activation Level ()', EngineeringUnits, 30); HighAlarmActivationLevelDialog := Insert(HighAlarmActivationLevelDialog, GasName, 0); (That's not where the problem is, I'm just explaining why I'm using a variable dialogue title.) The variables used are definitely strings, but i'm always getting the error: "The type of the dialog title must be either STRING or WSTRING". I've tried moving HighAlarmActivationLevelDialog etc. to the GVL and also changing them to WSTRING, I even tried adding them to the structure array, but I always get the same error. Clearing the dialog title for that element removes the error - so I'm confident it's not a phantom error caused by something else. But I should be able to add these titles, can't just nuke them all to make it work. The MinVal and MaxVal for the Numpad are called from the array, e.g. GVL.Gas_Alarm_Configs[0].ScaledValueMIN, they are not getting an error. I am using array indexes 1 - 5 for the gasses, when I load the form or change gas, I copy the selected index to index 0 of the array, and values from Gas_Alarm_Configs[0].[ALL] are displayed on the page. When they hit save, I copy Gas_Alarm_Configs[0].[ALL] to Gas_Alarm_Configs[CurrentGasIndex].[ALL]. (ALL just means every element, I can't figure out how to display an asterix in this question... :) ) I've searched online for variable title dialog, but not found anything to help. Thanks for your help!

I can't answer why it's not resetting, but from the description of g_udiMaxReceiveBufferSize, I would guess the sum of sizes of the mqtt packets received in one cycle exceeded this value. So the answer may be to increase that parameter. https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/libs/MQTT%20Client%20SL/Current/MQTT-Client/Common/Params/MQTTParam.html https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Development%20System/_cds_dlg_library_parameter.html

Post by leon78 on Codesys 3.5 SP17 Patch 2 CheckBounds (POUs for Implicit Checks) ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello! I use CheckBounds (POUs for Implicit Checks). But I have a problem. I use an array as an VAR_IN_OUT of Function Block. If I try to monitor the array of variable length ([* ]), its does't work. The CheckBounds POU isn't called. If I use the array of fixed lenght ([lower..upper]), the CheckBounds POU is called. Why?

Hello just to give more feedback the error I get is "ERROR_UNKNOWN :represents raw value of 5110" in File.DirOpen. The xDone never gets true, and I never get the listing of files (csv files in this case). In the hDir i get the value of 0 for a DWord!?

You could create a DUT of the Type Union and add an array of 2 bytes + an Int. Then write the byte values in the array of the Union and read the Int. Or VAR iInt : INT; byHigh : BYTE := 2#1111_1111; byLow : BYTE := 2#1111_1111; END_VAR iInt := TO_INT(byHigh*16#100 + byLow);

Post by janber on REFERENCE TO in an array ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi all, in the online help it written, that array of reference to data type is not possible. Ok... but if I create array of struct of reference to - everything works fine - please see the screenshots: and it works this way OK. Is it intention or error in compiler 3.5.18.20 and we should avoid it? Thanks a lot, Jan.

Post by jarnok on How to know if output if function block is used ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, Is it possible to know of an output of a function block is used? I've found there is a way to find unused inputs of a fb, through the attribute: is_connected. But I'm wondering if the same can be done for an output. Thanks in advance!

Post by tyronnosaurus on SysLibMem.lib Where To Download? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
It should come by default on a normal install of Codesys 2.3, but it's a bit hidden: Like for any other library, go to Resources > library Manager > Right click on list of libraries > Additional library. On the browser that opens, instead of looking in the default folder, use the dropdown menu at the bottom to change the folder (SysLibMem should be on the 3rd folder).

There is a tool called test manager that is part of the Professional Developer's Edition of CODESYS. I would take a look at this tool for your testing purposes. There is a free 30-day trial so you can evaluate if the tool will meet your needs before investing in the license.

Dear Forum, I would like to initialize an array input on a method. When I do this, I get the following error: "The type of ARRAY [1..2] OF BOOL cannot have a default value in this context." I attached a picture for more clarity. Is this simply not possible or is there a different way of tackling this problem? Thank you in advance

I have managed to change my dynamic visu table colors with the template for each column to dark like my rest of the webvisu background is. How ever the empty table (when not populated) and the table header stays white / gray. Is there same way to modify the colors of header and empty table?

I have not used this client / server OPC UA combination since. We were only making some kind of proof of concept. I did understand that there could be some kind of bug. I do not know if the supposed bug has been resoved since. Perhaps you could try what piautomation is suggesting

Post by martinlithlith on Raspberry Pi: List of available drivers / libraries ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
As most of the posts are moved here around 2015, what would be the right version of codesys to run? Would it be better to install a older version of codesys or should i keep on downgrading libraries? Is there any work done to update theses libraries? It´s been a few years since the last update in this post, are there new libraries/devices for raspberry being added/posted somewhere else? Thanks, Martin
