Which plc type is it: Either use Automationserver to do this or save the project archives instead of projects or use the source dowload function and reopen the application from plc. So you need to chose one of them.

Hi kenth1973, no, we do not have this kind of information on internal variables. iPhasingState has been removed and is no longer present in current versions of SoftMotion. Best regards, Georg

Hello eschwellinger, what can I do if I need exactly this option to use the html5 controls, because I have the same problems with the displaced elements in WebVisu running in Internet Explorer. I have observed a different behavior in google chrome. Best regards, Etienne

Ok, think I understand. The reason for the error is I try to include complex variables (FB) in the persistenced data. I will try to use {attribute 'ac_persist_exclude'} to exclude those elements.

What worked for me: Use SMC_SetControllerMode and set the nControllerMode to SMC_nocontrol. With that, you can control the drive via Modes of Operation(16#6060) and Controlword(16#6040) directly. Hope that helps, Cheers!

Select in tree "DEVICE", right-click and select "Update Device" Select "Library manager" and Change the version of the Library (down manualy). Samoetimes "Try reload Library". If you open a project version 3.5.19 in version 3.5.16, there are difficulties.

In the example project, you can see that a CAN.CANAreaReceiver is used which has an VAR_IN_OUT reference to a RECEIVER_AREA structure. This structure has a dwIdStart and dwIdEnd to filter a range of ID's and process them through the referenced msgProcessor.

means not licensed demo mode.. use the Licenserver on the host and apply a license and add the Ip of the license server then it will be green.

Hi Suyash! Stick to the IDE version used to create the project, and use Library Manager to fix version mismatches. Disable auto library updates and keep a record of working versions for stability. https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/Engineering/thread/0a4c242ab9/Italian Brainrot Clicker

In my case, I used a different version of gateway. ex)3.5.18.5 sysTray gateway start did not work, so I terminated it and made it work with 3.5.18.3 in "codesys installer" "Settings" and was able to connect to the PLC.

Thanks for the answer. So yes I've enabled expert settings, and yes i've added some SDOs, but some of them who are generated are likely making a mess in the network and generated error with my device... From which library comes those 2 function blocks ?

Are you using Bookworm and which Rasperry PI? Check the logfile with ssh connection tail -f /var/opt/codesys/codesyscontrol.log It should work with 4.11.0.0 release. Just use the ABL licenses - (check the license metrix of your application)

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.
