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

CODESYS Forge

I had this code working in a previous version of CoDeSys to read variables from a GVL that were added to the Symbol configuration. The problem now is that when I get the _IBaseTreeNode_Parent, it returns a valid interface, but none of the methods or properties work. If you monitor the _IBaseTreeNode in the watch window, it does show the correct child count. However, it fails at step 30, where the child count incorrectly returns zero. In the image, you can see that the watch window displays the correct value that the property should return. Attached is the full project code. FUNCTION_BLOCK Symbols_TO_STR VAR_INPUT i_sPath : STRING(255); i_diIndexChild : DINT; i_diIndexComponent : DINT; END_VAR VAR_OUTPUT q_diChildCount : DINT; q_diComponentCount : DINT; q_sName : STRING(255); q_sValue : STRING(255); q_sType : STRING(80); q_sErrorResult : STRING(80); END_VAR VAR uiStepCopy : UINT; uiStep : UINT; uiStepProcessCopy : UINT; uiStepProcess : UINT; _IBase : IecVarAccessLibrary.IBase; _pIIecVarAccess5 : POINTER TO IecVarAccessLibrary.IIecVarAccess5; _IIecVarAccess5 : IecVarAccessLibrary.IIecVarAccess5; _RTS_IEC_RESULT : IecVarAccessLibrary.RTS_IEC_RESULT; _udiResult : UDINT; _VariableInformationStruct : IecVarAccessLibrary.VariableInformationStruct; _IBaseTreeNode_Parent : IecVarAccessLibrary.IBaseTreeNode; _IBaseTreeNode_Child : IecVarAccessLibrary.IBaseTreeNode; _ITypeDesc_Child : IecVarAccessLibrary.ITypeDesc; _TypeDescAsUnion_Child : IecVarAccessLibrary.TypeDescAsUnion; _arIBaseTreeNode_Child : ARRAY[0..20] OF IecVarAccessLibrary.IBaseTreeNode; _TypeClass_Child : IecVarAccessLibrary.IBaseLibrary.TypeClass; _psSymbolName_Child : POINTER TO STRING; _sSymbolName_Child : STRING(255); _IBaseTreeNode_Component : REFERENCE TO IecVarAccessLibrary.IBaseTreeNode; _TypeClass_Component : IecVarAccessLibrary.IBaseLibrary.TypeClass; _ByteAddress_Component : __XWORD; _ByteOffset_Component : __XWORD; _sArrayIndexName_Component : STRING(20); _diArrayIndexCalc_Component : DINT; _diArrayIndexValue_Component: DINT; _psSymbolName_Component : POINTER TO STRING; _sSymbolName_Component : STRING(255); END_VAR uiStepCopy:=uiStep; uiStepProcessCopy:=uiStepProcess; CASE uiStep OF 10: // GET IBASE FROM CURRENT APP _IBase:= IecVarAccessLibrary.IecVarAccGetFirstInterface2(0); IF _IBase<>0 THEN uiStep:=20; ELSE q_sErrorResult:=CONCAT(UINT_TO_STRING(uiStep), ': IecVarAccGetFirstInterface2'); uiStep:=9000; END_IF 20: //QueryInterface IIecVarAccess5 from IBASE _pIIecVarAccess5 := _IBase.QueryInterface(IecVarAccessLibrary.ITFID_IIecVarAccess5, ADR(_RTS_IEC_RESULT)); IF _pIIecVarAccess5<>0 AND _RTS_IEC_RESULT=0 THEN _IIecVarAccess5 := _pIIecVarAccess5^; uiStep:=30; ELSE q_sErrorResult:=CONCAT(UINT_TO_STRING(uiStep), ': QueryInterface_IIecVarAccess5'); uiStep:=9000; END_IF 30: // Get IBaseTreeNode_Parent _IBaseTreeNode_Parent := _IIecVarAccess5.VarAccGetNode3(ADR(i_sPath), ADR(_VariableInformationStruct), ADR(_RTS_IEC_RESULT)); IF _IBaseTreeNode_Parent<>0 AND _RTS_IEC_RESULT=0 THEN q_diChildCount:=_IBaseTreeNode_Parent.ChildCount; uiStep:=40; ELSE q_sErrorResult:=CONCAT(UINT_TO_STRING(uiStep), ': IBaseTreeNode_Parent'); uiStep:=9000; END_IF 40: // Get IBaseTreeNod_Child IF(q_diChildCount-1>=i_diIndexChild AND i_diIndexChild >=0) THEN _IBaseTreeNode_Child := _IBaseTreeNode_Parent.GetChild(i_diIndexChild); IF _IBaseTreeNode_Child<>0 THEN uiStep:=50; ELSE q_sErrorResult:=CONCAT(UINT_TO_STRING(uiStep), ': IBaseTreeNode_Parent'); uiStep:=9000; END_IF ELSE q_sErrorResult:=CONCAT(UINT_TO_STRING(uiStep), ': i_diIndexChild OutBounds'); uiStep:=9000; END_IF

I am CODESYS neophyte getting my wheels on. My goal is to re-platform an existing PLC application written in 61131 ST I've got the majority of the code/variables in a compilable form - excluding all the IO and comms nuances I am not sure whether this the right forum An important functionality which I implemented on the other platform was totally dynamic modbus devices... Most configurations I have come across impose static MB configs in which all configured devices MUST be present and functional... I have monkeyed around with MB enough to know that herding a half dozen MB cats into a working config can be tricky. I just do them one at a time and dynamically turn them on/off in whatever combination is convenient with ID, IP, baud, parity etc being runtime tweakable. I am totally curious whether this is possible with codesys, or whether its device configuration corrals one into a static cage which requires re-building the code to support flexible variations. Best regards

Of course there is! =) just edit file/etc/ssh/sshd_config and restart ssh service. but you'll lose the possibility of runtime management through "update Linux", so there enother question - how to change default port in codesys it-self?
