Post by khaledkhalil on Import OPC UA model to Codesys ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I have added a models in SiOME which a software to design nodes and add instances. and created a resultant xml file. I tried to import the xml file to Codesys through OPC UA information model Repository the problem i don't know how to view my objects which i have designed. and map it to my PLC to make viewable on my server UaExpert. I watched the tutorial video https://youtu.be/aJhzN3Uk-Do?feature=shared. But it only give you how to add the Information model, and my resultant model doesn't have information type. So how in Codesys i can view a model which i have designed in SiOME and mapped my instances (Objects, Variable or methods) with my Variables in PLC I saw people do it in Tia Portal or other Software, but i have no clue how to do it on CODESYS

Post by joel214 on OPC-UA / Unterschied Symbolkonfiguration, IEC-Symbolveröffentlichung und Informationsmodell ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hallo liebe Community, im Rahmen einer Studienarbeit gilt es ein OPC-UA-Informationsmodell in eine existierende CODESYS-Steuerung zu implementieren. Dabei sind wir auf die Frage gestoßen welcher Unterschied zwischen den folgenden Objekten besteht: - Symbolkonfiguration (veraltet?) - IEC-Symbolveröffentlichung - Veröffentlichung über zuvor erstelltes Informationsmodell In unserem Verständnis erfüllen alle Objekte die Gleiche Aufgabe nur mit unterschiedlicher Vorgehensweise und Darstellung im OPC-UA-Server. Während durch die Symbolkonfiguration die Variablen und Instanzen über lange und verschachtelte Pfade abgelegt werden, wird durch die IEC-Symbolveröffentlichung ein Ordner im Pfad der Objekte erstellt. Dort sind die Variablen und Instanzen anschließend zu finden. Bei der Verwendung von Informationsmodellen hingegen, werden die Instanzen direkt unter den Objekten abgelegt. Für welchen Anwendungsfall ist welche Vorgehensweise am besten? Vielen Dank vorab und viele Grüße Joel

Post by kazuhiro on Problems using MySql Library and SysProcessExecuteCommand2 together ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I use fbMsSQL_compact(FUN) of the MySQL Library to write data to the database. There is no problem when writing data using only fbMsSQL_compact(FUN). However, when I try to write data obtained using SysProcessExecuteCommand2 to the database using fbMsSQL_compact(FUN), an error message "Dest server on ip address:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and port:1433 is unreachable" appears and writing is not possible. From what I have researched, it seems that writing is not completed in one cycle of fbMsSQL_compact(FUN), and when SysProcessExecuteCommand2 is executed first in the second cycle, the work done in one cycle of fbMsSQL_compact(FUN) is reset. Could you please give me some advice?

Hi everyone, I would appreciate your help with a problem I've been working on for a few days but haven't been able to resolve. I'm trying to read data from Tridium Niagara 4.15 OPC UA Server, but I get the error BadCertificateInvalid. As far as I understand, you need to add a CA certificate somewhere to establish a secure connection, but I don't know where. 2025-10-27T09:06:43.247Z, 0x0000008d, 4, 0, 0, * ERROR: OpcUa_Channel_BeginConnect: Cannot create secure channel without certificates! 2025-10-27T09:06:43.247Z, 0x00001090, 4, 0, 0, * ERROR: Datasource: Error Failed (268468242) in state Connecting I tried communicating without encryption, but it doesn't find the point.

Post by malte on OPC UA multiple Endpoints ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
My CODESYS OPC UA server provides endpoints using both the hostname and the IP address. Connecting via the IP address works fine, but connecting via the hostname does not. The endpoint list shows both opc.tcp://<hostname>:4840 and opc.tcp://<ip>:4840. When using the hostname, the OPC UA client (UA Expert) fails to connect. Using the IP address connects without issues. Main goal is to conect via Python but opcua-asyncio seems to prefer the hostname. How can I configure CODESYS or my system so that the OPC UA connection via hostname also works properly or disable it completly? Running Codesys for PFC200 sl 4.18.0.0

Post by jeindhoven on Deploying to raspberry pi 5 hangs ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi CoDeSys support forum, hope that this is the correct place to ask this. Might be double as i am new to Codesys and dont know all terminology. I am trying to test Codesys with a virtual plc on a raspberry pi 5. Already figured that i need Tools -> Deploy Control SL, enter Communication parameters. Codesys says "Connected". Then tab "Deployment", there i select "CODESYS Control for Raspberri Pi SL" and "4.16.0.0 (all)". Click "Install" and the gui turns grey and unresponsive. The titlebar says "Untitled1.project - CODESYS (Not Responding)" as well. Restarting Codesys and checking shows no package was installed. How to deploy the runtime? Thank you in advance for your time. Edit: After some patience, an error showed up: "Error when sending ssh heartbeat: Session operation has timed out" "Error installing codesyscontrol" Any pointers to what remote command might have failed, or log of some sort, would be welcome.

Post by jeindhoven on Deploying to raspberry pi 5 hangs ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Yep sure, though now that i think of it, its a pi 4. My bad. The whole ordeal was necessary to use the VGA666 adapter. That needs the old graphical system and GPIO directly on the CPU. Edit: Putty on the virtual development machine connects fine. But i did change the login/pw. The account is still a sudo'er so that should be all right. Edit2: Sorry i get a "Comment rate limit exceeded" from the forum. Then i'll add it as edit here. So i have tried the stock raspberry pi image on a different pi5 (truly 5 this time). Packages updated. Standard password. Same symptoms, no runtime deployed and long hang time. Versions of this pi: pi@raspberrypi:~ $ uname -a Linux raspberrypi 6.12.25+rpt-rpi-2712 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.12.25-1+rpt1 (2025-04-30) aarch64 GNU/Linux pi@raspberrypi:~ $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.

Edit 3 (Comment rate limit, otherwise it would be a new post) Now i have tried booting an older native Windows 10 machine (no virtualization), and it just works as expected. I have now a raspberry pi 4 and raspberry pi 5 with version 4.16.0.0 of the control application. Windows 10 native: build 19045 (same as virtualised Win 10), same .NET version, same CODESYS version. It seems that running CODESYS virtualized somehow messes with the deployment?

Post by scoob on ModbusFB - Slow Response Time ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I have been trying to use the ModbusFB functions so I can put some code into libraries, but it seems to be very slow for me. I have a Modbus device with 100ms registers. I previously setup 10 channels in the 'traditional' Modbus Slave with channels and mappings - and set a cyclic trigger at 100ms - this worked fine. I then tried the ModbusFB example, and setup reading the same 10 blocks of modbus addresses, copying the example and putting all of the requests into an array and triggering the requests sequentially. I timed how long the requests are taking to get round to each one, and it is around 1s 450ms. How do I speed this up to match the cyclic time? IF NOT(init) THEN init := TRUE; // Set the required IP address: ipAddress[0] := 192; ipAddress[1] := 168; ipAddress[2] := 1; ipAddress[3] := 10; // Pass the required IP address to the clinet FB: client_NetworkSwitch.aIPaddr := ipAddress; client_NetworkSwitch.udiLogOptions := (ModbusFB.LoggingOptions.ClientConnectDisconnect OR ModbusFB.LoggingOptions.ClientReceivedValidReplies); // Try to connect the client client_NetworkSwitch(xConnect:=TRUE); // Configure all the channels to read connecting them to the client: portStatus_Request(rClient := client_NetworkSwitch, uiStartItem := 4096, uiQuantity := 32, pData := ADR(portStatus), udiReplyTimeout := udiReplyTimeout); portSpeed_Request(rClient := client_NetworkSwitch, uiStartItem := 4352, uiQuantity := 32, pData := ADR(portSpeed)); flowControl_Request(rClient := client_NetworkSwitch, uiStartItem := 4608, uiQuantity := 32, pData := ADR(flowControl)); linkUpCounter_Request(rClient := client_NetworkSwitch, uiStartItem := 5888, uiQuantity := 32, pData := ADR(linkUpCounter)); txPacketCounter1_Request(rClient := client_NetworkSwitch, uiStartItem := 8192, uiQuantity := 100, pData := ADR(txPacketCounter1)); txPacketCounter2_Request(rClient := client_NetworkSwitch, uiStartItem := 8292, uiQuantity := 28, pData := ADR(txPacketCounter2)); rxPacketCounter1_Request(rClient := client_NetworkSwitch, uiStartItem := 8448, uiQuantity := 100, pData := ADR(rxPacketCounter1)); rxPacketCounter2_Request(rClient := client_NetworkSwitch, uiStartItem := 8548, uiQuantity := 28, pData := ADR(rxPacketCounter2)); txErrors_Request(rClient := client_NetworkSwitch, uiStartItem := 8704, uiQuantity := 64, pData := ADR(txErrors)); rxErrors_Request(rClient := client_NetworkSwitch, uiStartItem := 8960, uiQuantity := 64, pData := ADR(rxErrors)); // Trigger all client requests initially FOR clientRequestsCnt := 0 TO (SIZEOF(clientRequests)/SIZEOF(clientRequests[0]))-1 DO pClientRequest := clientRequests[clientRequestsCnt]; pClientRequest^.xExecute := TRUE; END_FOR // Prepare sequential trigger / control of client requests. clientRequestsCnt := 0; pClientRequest := clientRequests[clientRequestsCnt]; END_IF // Call the client to do request processing: client_NetworkSwitch(); // Now we trigger client request sequentially ... IF NOT pClientRequest^.xExecute AND NOT pClientRequest^.xDone AND run AND client_NetworkSwitch.xConnected THEN pClientRequest^.xExecute := TRUE; END_IF // .. and check result/error IF pClientRequest^.xExecute AND run AND client_NetworkSwitch.xConnected THEN IF pClientRequest^.xDone THEN // Prepare next trigger of client request (a rising edge of xExecute) pClientRequest^.xExecute := FALSE; IF clientRequestsCnt < SIZEOF(clientRequests)/SIZEOF(clientRequests[0])-1 THEN // next client request clientRequestsCnt := clientRequestsCnt + 1; ELSE clientRequestsIterationCounter := clientRequestsIterationCounter + 1; clientRequestsCnt := 0; END_IF pClientRequest := clientRequests[clientRequestsCnt]; END_IF END_IF I did try a semi-coded way using the IoDrvModbusTCP library, and setting the slave com settings, then 10 commands and 10 requests, then using a TP on xDone as a pause, before triggering another request - this is time the delay is around 120ms - so the device is fine with the speed, just something I am doing wrong in the ModbusFB method I am sure.

Post by dekelec on Codesys 2.3 & Peak PCAN ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I use Peak USB adapter daily to download from CoDeSys 2.3 and 3.5 to IFM, EPEC and other controllers. The process: - First you need to install the appropriate driver. Link: https://www.peak-system.com/Drivers.523.0.html?&L=1 - Restart the computer - Start the CoDeSys application - Change the name of the adapter in Communication parameters, as mentioned in previous comment. Write the name exactly as written "Peak_USB", as it could also be case sensitive (defines which .dll file to use). If this doesn't work I would contact the vendor of the controller to find out the procedure. In the attachment I've added a FAQ document from IFM regarding using PCAN USB. P.S. I've noticed in your picture of communication parameters a channel via TCP/IP is mentioned. In this case a USB to CAN connection is not being used. First you should change the channel/gateway to connect via CANbus or connect using an Ethernet cable.

Post by denkihitsuji on Content update through Data URI on Web Brower on Visualization Toolbox ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Objective: I want to dynamically update the content with strings and JPEG images received from a TCP/IP socket. For this purpose, I am exploring the possibility of utilizing the Web Browser feature of the Visualization toolbox. Example: In a standard web browser, entering data:text/plain;charset=utf-8;base64,SGVsbG8gc3RyYW5nZXI= in the URL window will display "Hello stranger" on the webpage. Issue: When attempting to use this method in the Web Browser of the Visualization toolbox, the content does not display as expected. Instead, it shows the error:'Navigation to the webpage was canceled.'. Request: I seek guidance on how to resolve this issue so that the Web Browser in the Visualization toolbox correctly interprets and displays the data URI content. Alternative Solution Welcomed: Or, if it is possible to directly use Codesys Structured Text (ST) variables within an HTML page, this approach would also meet my requirements. Thank you for your attention.

Post by timvh on STRING conversions to DWORD ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I guess that the printer expects to receive an array of byte values. So where it is described that it expects to receive: Hercules String : 1B4F513030311B7532626C61636B04 it actually expects to receive an array of bytes with the values 1B,4F,51,30,30, etc. So what you can do is create an array of bytes and assign the byte value to each item in the array: VAR abyToSend : ARRAY[0..99] OF BYTE; END_VAR abyToSend[0] := 16#1B; // ASCII Escape character, hexadecimal representation uses 16# as prefix abyToSend[1] := 16#4F; // ASCII 'O' abyToSend[2] := 16#51; // ASCII 'Q' abyToSend[3] := 16#30; // ASCII '0' // you can do the rest yourself // maybe could be created a lot smarter, but gives you an indication how to handle this. Then with the serial communication (or TCP/IP?) you can send a message with the reference to the array (abyToSend) and the number of bytes to send (15 bytes for the string you gave as example).

Post by latassan on RaspberryPi 5 gateway problem ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I'm trying to use a raspberryPi 5 as a PLC. I fixed its IP address, I can ping it. I've also installed the CODESYS Control for Raspberry Pi 64 SL runtime on it. So I've created a gateway (IP address of the Raspberry, TCP port 1217). I see the green dot next to this gateway. When I do a network scan, I can see my raspberry (see photo). When I try to connect to it, I have to define an administrator profile, which I do. On validation, I see a message: No device is responding to the scan request. I've checked that port 1217 is listening on the raspberry, I've uninstalled the runtime then installed it again, but I can't connect. Also, when I try to configure the user groups before connecting, I see that Offline mode is not supported by the device, even though I'm connected to it in the Deploy Control SL tab. When I try to refresh, I see: Gateway not configured properly. How can I connect to my Raspberry? Have I defined my gateway incorrectly?

Post by wbj0t on mobus tcp slave device. read/write holdings with 2 variables. ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi there. I have an issue to read and set time for the controller. In the issue many registers described as writable by 6/16 functions, and, in this time, also(!) readable! For example: I have time registers: min, hour, day, mon, year. By specifications it is possible check time (so I need always update these varibles in loop) and set time by writing these same registers, BUT how to set, if they will immediatle updated by current time after writing? So, I need to separate one address at two variables. I have seen option mark: Overlay of the process image by the holding and input register. I understand this so: When I READ by function 3, I will get variable that connected with the same INPUT address and when I WRITE by 6/16 this will change second variable that connected with HOLDING address. BUT, this mark doesnt work, when I write 6/16 and try to get by function 3, I will get written value instead INPUT variable. So, what to do?

Post by greenwood on CODESYS Control Raspberry Pi mit Servotreiber T6 von StepperOnline ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hallo, ich versuche, eine Modbus-RTU-Kommunikation zwischen meinem Raspberry Pi mit CODESYS Control für Raspberry Pi 64 SL und einem Servotreiber von StepperOnline, Typ T6, herzustellen. Die Verbindung ist wie folgt: RJ45-Stecker am Servotreiber -> Kabel mit RJ45 an einem Ende und USB-A-Stecker am anderen Ende -> Seriell-zu-USB-Konverter -> Raspberry Pi. Der Seriell-zu-USB-Konverter und die Kabel habe ich zusammen mit dem Motor und Treiber von StepperOnline gekauft und sie sind dafür gedacht, den Servotreiber mit einem Computer zu verbinden, auf dem deren Setup-Software läuft. dmesg | grep tty auf dem Pi sagt mir, dass der USB-zu-Seriell-Konverter auf ttyusb0 ist. Ich weiß nicht, wie man das in einen COM-Port übersetzt, ich habe COM 1 genommen. Ich habe ein Projekt in Codesys erstellt und ein Modbus_COM-Gerät hinzugefügt, einen Modbus_Master_COM_Port und einen Modbus_Slave_COM_Port angehängt. Auf der Registerkarte "Allgemein" des Modbus_COM habe ich die folgenden Werte eingestellt: Slave address 1 Baud rate 9600 Parity None Data bits 8 Stop bits 2 Ich habe den Servotreiber auf die gleichen Werte eingestellt. (Ich habe auch andere Werte getestet, aber mit dem gleichen Ergebnis). Auf der Registerkarte "Modbus Slave Channel" des Modbus_Slave_COM_Port habe ich einen Kanal hinzugefügt und die folgenden Werte eingetragen: Access type Read Holding Registers (Function Code 3) Read Register offset 0x0000 Length 1 Ich habe noch keinen Code geschrieben, weil ich noch nicht herausgefunden habe, wie man die Kommunikation programmiert. Wenn ich das Projekt zum Raspberry Pi herunterlade scheint der Modbus_Master_COM_Port zu laufen (grünes Symbol), aber der Modbus_Slave_COM_Port nicht (rotes Dreiecksymbol). Wenn ich einen anderen COM-Port eintrage, haben sowohl der Master als auch der Slave das rote Dreiecksymbol. Ich habe dies auch mit meinem Windows-PC unter Verwendung von Codesys Control Win 64 versucht und die gleichen Ergebnisse bekommen. Ich wäre dankbar für jede Hilfe oder Tipps, wie ich den Grund dafür herausfinden kann, warum der Servotreiberreiber nicht reagiert.

Post by mariapaola on Port instantiation of serial interface in WAGO PLC using Modb_L05.lib in CoDeSys v2.3 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
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;

Any ideas why we would be seeing this error in the log? The runtime actually shutdown. Not sure if that was caused by this error or not. 2025-08-03T02:45:35.444Z, 0x00001012, 4, 0, 0, * ERROR: Calling the program "AlarmStorage_Prg" is not allowed from multiple tasks. 2025-08-03T03:48:15.294Z, 0x00001012, 4, 0, 0, * ERROR: Calling the program "AlarmStorage_Prg" is not allowed from multiple tasks. 2025-08-03T04:38:11.557Z, 0x00000103, 65544, 1, 0, runtime received SIGABRT - system may be in an inconsistent state * We recommend a reboot of the controller now! * 2025-08-03T04:38:11.576Z, 0x0000010f, 8, 1, 0, #### Exception: SysSemEnter - Semaphore deadlock detected - owner thread died [tid:726740] - system may be in an inconsistent state. 2025-08-03T04:38:11.576Z, 0x00000103, 65544, 1, 0, runtime received SIGABRT - system may be in an inconsistent state * We recommend a reboot of the controller now! 2025-08-03T04:38:11.576Z, 0x00000001, 8, 260, 3, #### Exception: HANDLED EXCPT* <excpt>NonContinuable</excpt> in CH_COMM_CYCLE 2025-08-03T04:40:12.308Z, 0x00000001, 1, 0, 35, CODESYS Control shutdown... 2025-08-03T04:40:13.436Z, 0x00000071, 1, 0, 13, Webserver stopped 2025-08-03T04:40:13.437Z, 0x00000114, 2, 1, 0, !!!!

Post by edvard-munch on How I can get "Done flag" for "Modbus Slave Channel"? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
This is from 10 years ago, I know. But I have been using (SLAVE_DEVICE.iChannelIndex = CHANNEL_NUMBER) AND (SLAVE_DEVICE.xDone) I suppose that it shows xDone for the channel that shows up in the iChannelIndex at the same cycle? It seems to be working properly for two devices that I have been using it before But now I have another device and using two write channels, for one register each. One channel works properly and returns DONE flag When another channel is triggered, I see that it shows up in iChannelIndex, but flag DONE not received, but no Error for the channel. Also, when i check the register in the device it's evident that data has been transferred. Is this could happen sometimes with CODESYS, so DONE flag not received? Or this is a problem with a given device? With this certain register

Post by egau on Enable and Disable Project IO programmatically ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi @eschwellinger, I tried this with Modbus COM slaves. I was able to disable them (slave becomes greyed out in the device tree), but the DED.Reconfigure "eError" output shows "NOT_SUPPORTED". After this, when I tried to re-enable the slave, it did not work (device stayed greyed out in the device tree), and the DED.Reconfigure "eError" output also showed "NOT_SUPPORTED". Is there something to do about this, or the device just doesn't support reconfiguration? P.S: I tried this running locally on my computer (not in simulation mode). So of course I was not physically connected to the devices. I have two similar projects, but one of them doesn't have the Modbus_COM devices. I know I can "Exclude from build" the devices for that project, but I would really prefer not to do this if possible. I would prefer to dynamically toggle a configuration variable that would enable or disable the slaves.

Post by christoph--b on Probleme mit Speicheraufteilung nach Wechsel von Wago 750-841 zu 750-891 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hallo, ich habe in meiner Hausautomation eine Wago 750-841 mit einem doch mittlerweile umfangreichen Programm. Diese wollte ich nun gegen eine 750-891 der 4. Generation austauschen. Aufgrund der Programmgröße hatte ich damals die Speichergröße für Retainvariablen von 16#4000 auf 16#7000 vergrößert und so läuft sie nun seit Jahren fehlerfrei. Allerdings mit der 750-891 bekomme ich offensichtlich eine Überschneidung mit dem Modbusregister, denn die Werte über Modbus spielen verrückt. In der Standardgröße mit 16#4000 tritt das Phänomen nicht auf, reicht dann aber nicht für das vorhandene Programm. Dafür gibt es sicher eine Lösung, denn die 891 hat ja deutlich mehr Speicher. Allerdings kenne ich mich mit der Speicheraufteilung nicht aus, wo man da was optimieren kann, damit ich den Speicherbereich entsprechend erweitern kann, aber es zu keiner Überschneidung kommt. Für Hilfe wäre ich sehr dankbar

Post by wbj0t on System libs and I/O Drivers ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi everyone. My question about: where I can learn (read or watch) an info about codesys workflow through the system IO libs? I want to know how to implement I/O drivers by my self. In the system libs I see many interfaces, methods etc... But there is no explanation about them, just names of methods and fields of the FBs. I know about this page: https://forge.codesys.com/drv/io-drivers/doc/Generic/ There is so BIG the device description file and not so clear explaining of the attributes and elements, also some elements or attributes missed at it all. Yes, there are code examples on this page, but, so shortly and, for example, code about Modbus drivers is absent. And even if I try to add the IoDrvFB with lib, I get and error, something like: "failed to load IoDrvFB driver". And what about the book of codesys that written by Gary Pratt? Is there information about system libs and drivers in this book more clearly? Thank you :)

Post by alexgooi on Modbus writing on value change ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi Duvan, You could make this in 1 single object (FB), Indeed don't use a function for this beacuse you need some memory to keep the old value. For i := 0 TO 200 BY 1 DO //Check if the value has been changed IF Old_Value[i] <> Value[i] THEN //Set the trigger to TRUE Trigger[i] := TRUE; Old_Value[i] := Value[i]; END_IF END_FOR If you define the Value array as an In_Out and the Trigger as an In_Out you arn't claiming any aditional memory to your system. You ofcourse then need to add some code arround it that does something with the trigger and writes it back to FALSE again. If you want more flexability you also could use pointers instead of using the IN_OUT FOR i := 0 TO 200 BY 1 DO address := address_Input + i * SIZEOF(*Put type here); IF Address^ <> Old_Value[i] THEN Trigger[i] := TRUE; Old_Value[i] := Address^; END_IF END_FOR

Post by duvanmoreno24 on Modbus writing on value change ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Yes, I tried to do what you put in the first code. However, I have a problem with that and that is that the inputs must be declared with the type. I have many data types running in my code (real, int, uint, bool) and I can't put them in the same function, another thing is that I need to instantiate that function for everything I want to write to the slave. You put a for to 200 but it means that it has to be the same data type and inside the array, but I want to get them individually. I'm struggling to do it in a good and efficient way like wago's E-cockpit does. in the first screenshot you can see, you simply type in value, change the package of things you want to write in value change and it does everything by itself automatically, without comparing any old and new values and even less having the need to activate a bool. , it is perfect.
