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.

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?

So I think I've found a way to do what I want, but its a not as simple as I thought it would be. Essentially I've got to put my "logic" that decides what the GVL variable should be at the start of every task (rung 1). Then regardless of what the force is the variable will be set to what the logic decides.

I also thought that if I had logic writing a value to this variable, then it would override the force anyway, since I thought that the force request was only applied at the beginning and end of the PLC scan. But this doesn't seem to be the case, the force persists throughout the logic regardless of what I write to the variable with logic

There are several versions, u can use an recipt, shm, perstance variables, persistsnce manager. all these ways has some pro's and con's and some of them depending on preparation of the controller byself. others depending on your functionalies and dependencies on project. for all of these ways, you can find the informations on the onlinehelp or from controller-oem

Hello to all! How can I read or write, via my main code (ST), to the registers present in the DO of my ethercat CoE servo drive? These objects appear in the list of the INITIALIZATION page, and from here I can only access them at startup. How do I access it in run time from my main PLC_PROGRAM?

Post by mariapaola on Port instantiation of serial interface in WAGO PLC using Modb_L05.lib in CoDeSys v2.3

Hi, Would really appreciate your insights in this issue I have. I am currently using a WAGO 750-881 with multiple IO devices. For one of them I already occupied the MODBUS Master configuration tool so I cannot overwrite it for my other devices. I have a total of two serial interfaces WAGO 750-652. The first one is instantiated in COM2 and doesn't need any protocol since the information comes in an specific formatting that need little code to differentiate between needed info. This one is working just fine. The second one is where I have an issue. I have tried to instantiate the port using MODBUS library modb_L05.lib to properly receive the data from an ARDUINO and I am absolutely unable to open the port: Signal DEVICE2.fbModbus.MODBUS_EXT_MASTER.Interface.Com_Port_Ist_Offen is never TRUE, among with all other signals from that interface, while signal DEVICE1.COM2.Com_Port_Ist_Offen is TRUE, and the other signals also read as TRUE or FALSE. I have tried instantiating the second one as the first one, changing COM3 to COM4, I've tried a lot of things but it wont ever open the channel. I don't know if you have any recommendations for me. For both physical modules, both witness LEDs A and E are on. First one is instantiated like this: PROGRAM DEVICE1 VAR wBaudRate : WORD := BAUD_9600; bDataBits : BYTE := 8; bParity : BYTE := 0; bFlowControl : BYTE := 3; (RS422 FullDuplex with continous send) i : INT; COM2 : SERIAL_INTERFACE; xOpenPort2 : BOOL := TRUE; ( Flag to open the Port ) xInitPort2 : BOOL; ( Flag to initiallize the Port ) ReceiveBuffer2 : typRing_Buffer; END_VAR COM2( bCOM_PORT_NR := 2, cbBAUDRATE := wBaudRate, cbsBYTESIZE := bDataBits, cpPARITY := bParity, csSTOPBITS := STOPBITS_1, cfFLOW_CONTROL := bFlowControl, utRECEIVE_BUFFER := ReceiveBuffer2, ptSEND_BUFFER := ADR(SendString2), xINIT := xInitPort2, xOPEN_COM_PORT := xOpenPort2, iBYTES_TO_SEND := LEN(SendString2)+1, xSTART_SEND := xSendActive2 ); Second one like this: PROGRAM DEVICE2 VAR COM4 : SERIAL_INTERFACE; xInitPort4 : BOOL := TRUE; xOpenPort4 : BOOL := TRUE; ReceiveBuffer4 : typRing_Buffer; fbModbus : MODBUS_EXTENDED_MASTER_RTU; fbError : enumMB_ERROR; stQuery : typModbusExtendedQuery; stResponse : typModbusResponse; au16Data : ARRAY[0..14] OF WORD; i : INT; tPoll : TON; END_VAR COM4( bCOM_PORT_NR := 4, cbBAUDRATE := BAUD_9600, cbsBYTESIZE := 8, cpPARITY := 0, csSTOPBITS := STOPBITS_1, cfFLOW_CONTROL := 2, ( RS-485 half-duplex ) utRECEIVE_BUFFER := ReceiveBuffer4, xINIT := xInitPort4, xOPEN_COM_PORT := xOpenPort4, xSTART_SEND := xSendActive4, ); stQuery.SlaveAddress := 1; stQuery.FunctionCode := 3; stQuery.Read_StartAddress := 0; stQuery.Read_Quantity := 15; (Poll code) fbModbus( ENABLE := TRUE, bCOM_PORT := 4, ( COM4=> 750-652 port ) cbCOM_BAUDRATE := BAUD_9600, cpCOM_PARITY := 0, csCOM_STOPBITS := 1, cbsCOM_BYTESIZE := 8, cfCOM_FLOW_CONTROL := 2, TimeOut := T#500ms, StartFunction := xStart, ExtQuery := stQuery, Response := stResponse, MB_Error => fbError ); FOR i := 0 TO 14 DO au16Data[i] := stResponse.Data[i]; END_FOR;

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? ItΒ΄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

VAR_IN_OUT MyVar: bool; END_VAR VAR Info: __SYSTEM.VAR_INFO; END_VAR Info := __VARINFO(MyVar); This give me the address of MyVar but I actually want the address of the variable passed to MyVar Any clues please?? thanks, ph

Post by vsgn on Passing properties as VAR_IN_OUT variables.
CODESYS Forge

(Post)
Hi, in my experience, the best options for such a case could be: 1. Pass a FunctionBlock via VAR_IN_OUT, containing all variables, mehods and properties needed for the logic of this graphic element (be aware of implementing correcly both get and set accessor for properties) 2. Pass an Interface via VAR_INPUT, of which you can use obviously only Properties and Methods. This is much more elegant for me. Here, you can just pass directly the instance of a FunctionBlock implementing such Interface as input. Hope you'll find this suggestions useful.

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.
