Thanks everyone for your input, I am using persistent variables to retain the timer value after machine shutdown, and main task to be as low as possible for the seconds TON to be accurate.

@eschwellinger does FILE.Copy fails with FILE_OPERATION_DENIED when copying outside from the IEC path for the same reason? I'm looking for a workaround to this limitation.

you might have some slight inaccuracies with using a REAL. See here for an explanation: https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z0000019ZSMSA2&l=en-US It might not matter, depends on how accurate you need it. I usually stick with integer types for something like this

It seems I misunderstood "Toggle color". It's only applicable for the Symbol "FRAME". This part is working fine. See also attached archive.

That solved it, thank you for the swift resolution! :) It would be fantastic ,if bandwidth permitting, the placeholder 'C:/temp' could be updated to 'C:\Program Files\CODESYS 3.5.19.60\GatewayPLC'. Anyway, thanks again for your assistance!

Post by bmatlove on Re-create CoE online window in Visu ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I am trying to re-create the CoE online window within a Visu for purposes of checking and interacting with device parameters occasionally for maintenance purposes. To minimize reliance on using the IDE for misc interactions. Ideally, I would like to exactly mimic the CoE online window within the IDE. I assume that it uses a few tricks to minimize overhead, such as only polling registers which are within the visual scope, for example. I'm afraid it might be too much to ask for a pre-built drop-in Visu module to exist for this task. Do I have any options aside from manually re-creating all the logic to do this, relying heavily on SdoInfo function blocks? Is there a way for me to reference the device ESI file to shortcut the process of determining how many registers there are and getting the address for each?

For the DynamicText error i have finally found a solution. You have to delete some libraries from your project. For me it was the WagoSysIcon library which wanted to reference dynamictexts even though i didn't have any in my project.
