Gateway and runtime (Control for linux SL) on a debian linux. Thanks for your check. Good to know. I will probably travel there in about a months time so that will give me better possibility for further testing. (on a side note, I dont get mail-updates on forum-subscriptions, need to check the topics manually)

Hi, I’m evaluating CODESYS for our devices. If I buy a standard runtime and the Toolkit, can I create a custom device descriptor so users can select my device (instead of just “CODESYS Control for Linux ARM64 SL”) when starting a new project? Has anyone done this or know if it’s possible? Thanks!

I have a video demonstrating the procedure to install the runtime on a linux device. https://youtu.be/rj0dOhgnGjs?si=OJoA-kgc1saxIweR This demonstration shows how to install the runtime on a X86 based controller, it should be the same for an ARM based device, but you'll need to install the add-in for Codesys control for Linux ARM SL (or the 64 bit add-in.)

Hi! I'm still on the hunt for drivers for example TCA9548 and a list or somewhere where all devices for raspberry is gathered. as this post is quite old I'm hoping/gussing that there is somewhere where work after 2021 is gathered? Or has the raspberry part if the community slowed down on creating device drivers?

Hey, ist es nicht möglich die WagoApp Biblitoheken in zusammenhang mit dem Codesys Control for Win zu nutzen? Wenn ich so eine Bibliothek im Projekt habe, lässt sich das Programm nicht auf das Device Control for Win nicht laden. Entferne ich die Bibliotheke geht es ohne Probleme. Hat damit schon jemand Erfahrung gemacht? Viele Grüße!

I am looking for some help with using Gifs in the WebVisu of codesys 3.5.18.40 as the model we tried with ladder logic does not animate the Gif and leaves as the first image of the Gif. Is there a way for ST or LL for it to be animated?

Thank you for the response! It's a path I had already considered, however, while it has always worked for me on inputs, it doesn't on outputs, because if I enable the option to update all IOs at every scan, the IO tasks overwrite each other. However, I have found something very interesting which I am posting below.

I installed CodeSys V3.5 SP9 for HY-eVision2 1.18.0.0 and activated the License Keys for SVN and noticed that the "SVN" doesn't pop up when i go on Menu - Project. For some reason the SVN works on CodeSys SP10. I already deinstalled all CodeSys Applications and installed them again but it's the same. Maybe the problem already occurred and someone could help me.

CODESYS Forge

(Post)
Hi These issues occured using a Raspberry Pi 4. I also repeated the experiment with codesys control for Windows, which results in much lower cycle times. With up to 3 ms, I still think they are fairly high given they should run at 2 ms and don't require complicated kinematics. The effect of higher cycle times for slower movements also prevails.

Hi, thanks a lot for the response. I did check all these parameters, but if the PlanningTask takes up to 60 ms, I can't increase the Buffer to such values. I contacted the Codesys support with a projectarchive. Let's see if they can help. Thanks again for your great support!

Hey guys, I'm currently developing a Codesys application for an offline Linux device. I can easily set up the license for ONE device using my Windows PC, but what happens if I need to produce a thousand devices? Is there any method to automate license insertion? I have already generated a dpkg installer for deploying the Linux control application to multiple targets. Thanks,

Took me a while to work on this again. I testes today with a fresh setup and it works now. My OneWireCycle tasks runs for around 10seconds. I guess my mistake was that I put the cycle task for the OneWire Task to a too small number. Thx for the support!

Post by manuknecht on Opening a Dialog on a specific Client from ST
CODESYS Forge

(Post)
I managed to find a solution that seems to work reliably. As the VU.Globals.CurrentClient-filter accesses the CURRENTCLIENTID or at least a similar, internal variable it can only be used if called from a certain client (e.g. from a button in a visualization). My solution works by implementing a new client filter that compares the client ID of all clients to the ID of the last client that was used. The variable containing the data of the last client is defined as: G_LastClient : VU.IVisualizationClient; // Copy of last client that detected click This last client is then updated every time a button is pressed using the Execute ST-Code input configuration of the button: G_LastClient := VU.PublicVariables.Clients.Current; Next, I created a function block that implements the client filter interface as so: FUNCTION_BLOCK FB_LastClientFilter IMPLEMENTS VU.IVisualizationClientFilter VAR_INPUT END_VAR VAR_OUTPUT END_VAR VAR END_VAR Then i added a method to the FB called IsAccepted which is used to filter out the client. When creating the method, it should automatically be filled with the according variable declaration, as it is defined in the interface: (* For every client can be desided, if it is accepted. ``TRUE``: Client is accepted*) METHOD IsAccepted : BOOL VAR_INPUT (* The client, to check*) itfClient : VU.IVisualizationClient; END_VAR Now the client can be compared to the last used client as such: // check if clientID corresponds to clientID of last recorderd client IF itfCLient.ClientId = G_LastClient.ClientId THEN IsAccepted := TRUE; ELSE IsAccepted := FALSE; END_IF To make use of this custom client filter, initialize a variable with the client filter: LastClient : FB_LastClientFilter; // Client filter to find last used client Then use this client filter when opening or closing a dialog from ST: fbOpenMyDialog(itfClientFilter:=LastClient,xExecute:=TRUE,sDialogName:='VIS_MyDialog_DLG');

To search for an exact phrase, put it in quotes. Example: "getting started docs"
To exclude a word or phrase, put a dash in front of it. Example: docs -help
To search on specific fields, use these field names instead of a general text search. You can group with AND or OR.
