Hello @ph0010421 Thanks for you answer. I dont really get the state machine that you sent me. Is that only for enabling the drive? How can i make movement? Is this with these SDO's? What is SDO exactly? Sorry but i am a little lost (:|)

Hi, How can you access the <root> of the Linux system? I'm struggling with this as the code above results in an invalid handle, as it cannot access '/'.</root> I am using Control for Raspberry Pi for context. Thanks.

Post by timvh on CAA.File.Write – Unexpected characters when writing a CSV file ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
For sure you must use LEN(). SIZEOF() means you write a number of bytes based on the size of the variable type. For your STRING this will be 80 characters, but this will write unexpected characters in your file.

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?

Post by timvh on Alarmmanagement – Dynamic Alarm List ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Probably best to create an alarm template for your motor function block. Then automatically the alarm manager can be filled with all the alarms for all instances of the motor function blocks (based on the created alarm template). See: https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Visualization/_cds_obj_alarm_group_template.html

Thank you for your answer. I did install certificates, especially for OPC UA Client/Server tests. This OPC UA PubSub test uses pre-shared keys, not certificates. By the way, I do you 3.5.22 patch 2.

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.

Post by lzml on HTML5 visualization controls disabled on CODESYS Control for Linux SL - overlay not supported? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Thanks for the suggestion - I updated everything via the CODESYS Installer and restarted, but I'm still hitting the same error. What I did - Updated via Tools > CODESYS Installer - Visualization system libraries (VisuElems, VisuElemsAlarm, VisuInputs, VisuNativeControl, etc.): 4.7.0.0 -> 4.10.0.0 - CODESYS Control for Linux SL: 4.15.0.0 -> 4.21.0.0 (based on CODESYS SDK 3.5.22.20) - Restarted CODESYS Development System Checked project environment (Project > Project Environment) after restart - Compiler version: 3.5.22.0 - Library versions: all up to date - Visualization Profile: CODESYS Visualization 4.10.0.0 - SoftMotion version: 4.20.2.0 Result: compiling with Device = CODESYS Control for Linux SL still fails with the same error: "Overlay is not supported for your target visualization device." The custom HTML5 control is still disabled/missing from the Toolbox with this Device selected (same as before), and still appears normally when I switch the Device to a Windows target. Is there anything else specific I should check (e.g. a setting on the Device description itself, a different SL package/edition, or is WebVisu overlay for custom HTML5 controls simply not implemented yet for CODESYS Control for Linux SL regardless of package version)? Any pointer appreciated.
