Post by wagokurt on CODESYS Visualization M License Fails to activate on Linux SL ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
The fix for this is when you install the control SL license, there is a checkbox for the Visu S license option. You must click this option. The Visu M is technically an upgrade to the Visu S, if this is license is not installed them the Visu M will fail as shown above. Thanks JoJo for the solution!

Gateway and runtime (Control for linux SL) on a debian linux. Thanks for your check. Good to know. I will probably travel there in about a months time so that will give me better possibility for further testing. (on a side note, I dont get mail-updates on forum-subscriptions, need to check the topics manually)

Post by snhatton on How to write a for loop in ladder? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi there, little late to the party, but you could also use the ST block for in-line ST code and implement a for loop as you normally would. ST Block is super handy if you just need a small amount of in-line structured text code without creating a new POU. Hope this helps!

Post by arjunk on How to correctly create a device descriptor (.devdesc.xml) for a custom Linux ARM64 PLC in CODESYS 3.5.21.20? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, I’m evaluating CODESYS for our devices. If I buy a standard runtime and the Toolkit, can I create a custom device descriptor so users can select my device (instead of just “CODESYS Control for Linux ARM64 SL”) when starting a new project? Has anyone done this or know if it’s possible? Thanks!

Post by dhumphries on Control Runtime Toolkit ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I have a video demonstrating the procedure to install the runtime on a linux device. https://youtu.be/rj0dOhgnGjs?si=OJoA-kgc1saxIweR This demonstration shows how to install the runtime on a X86 based controller, it should be the same for an ARM based device, but you'll need to install the add-in for Codesys control for Linux ARM SL (or the 64 bit add-in.)

Hi! I'm still on the hunt for drivers for example TCA9548 and a list or somewhere where all devices for raspberry is gathered. as this post is quite old I'm hoping/gussing that there is somewhere where work after 2021 is gathered? Or has the raspberry part if the community slowed down on creating device drivers?

Hey, ist es nicht möglich die WagoApp Biblitoheken in zusammenhang mit dem Codesys Control for Win zu nutzen? Wenn ich so eine Bibliothek im Projekt habe, lässt sich das Programm nicht auf das Device Control for Win nicht laden. Entferne ich die Bibliotheke geht es ohne Probleme. Hat damit schon jemand Erfahrung gemacht? Viele Grüße!

I am looking for some help with using Gifs in the WebVisu of codesys 3.5.18.40 as the model we tried with ladder logic does not animate the Gif and leaves as the first image of the Gif. Is there a way for ST or LL for it to be animated?

Post by mondinmr on Direct Pointers in IOMapping for EtherCAT with IoDrvEthercatLib.ETCSlave_Dia ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Thank you for the response! It's a path I had already considered, however, while it has always worked for me on inputs, it doesn't on outputs, because if I enable the option to update all IOs at every scan, the IO tasks overwrite each other. However, I have found something very interesting which I am posting below.

Post by markus-huber on CodeSys SVN doesn't work ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I installed CodeSys V3.5 SP9 for HY-eVision2 1.18.0.0 and activated the License Keys for SVN and noticed that the "SVN" doesn't pop up when i go on Menu - Project. For some reason the SVN works on CodeSys SP10. I already deinstalled all CodeSys Applications and installed them again but it's the same. Maybe the problem already occurred and someone could help me.

Post by manuknecht on High Cycle Times for SoftMotion_PlanningTask when using AxisGroup ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi These issues occured using a Raspberry Pi 4. I also repeated the experiment with codesys control for Windows, which results in much lower cycle times. With up to 3 ms, I still think they are fairly high given they should run at 2 ms and don't require complicated kinematics. The effect of higher cycle times for slower movements also prevails.

Hi, thanks a lot for the response. I did check all these parameters, but if the PlanningTask takes up to 60 ms, I can't increase the Buffer to such values. I contacted the Codesys support with a projectarchive. Let's see if they can help. Thanks again for your great support!

Hey guys, I'm currently developing a Codesys application for an offline Linux device. I can easily set up the license for ONE device using my Windows PC, but what happens if I need to produce a thousand devices? Is there any method to automate license insertion? I have already generated a dpkg installer for deploying the Linux control application to multiple targets. Thanks,

Took me a while to work on this again. I testes today with a fresh setup and it works now. My OneWireCycle tasks runs for around 10seconds. I guess my mistake was that I put the cycle task for the OneWire Task to a too small number. Thx for the support!

Post by fabian on Sys Process Execute Command ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I have a question: Once the command is being executed, is there a way to kill it again? As the called application is running in the background, the user can't close it but it shall be closed/terminated, commanded by codesys. I have tried with "SysProcessTerminate" but I guess this is not correct as the RTE crashes when this function is called. Starting the application: IF GVL.xStrtQR THEN GVL.xStrtQR := FALSE; SysProcess.SysProcessExecuteCommand2(pszCommand:=sCmd, pszStdOut:=stdout, udiStdOutLen:= SIZEOF(stdout),pResult := ADR(GVL.pResQRTsk)); END_IF Trying to stop it again: IF GVL.xTrmQR THEN GVL.xTrmQR := FALSE; pResTerm := SysProcess.SysProcessTerminate(hProcess:=SysProcess.SysProcessGetCurrentHandle(pResult:=ADR(GVL.pResQRTsk))); END_IF Codesyscontrol Win x64, 3.5.19.10. Many thanks for any advice pointing to the correct direction.. :-) Regards, Fabian

Post by adaml on ScriptEngine - execute "Export -> Bootproject and firmware (SD Card)" from python ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi everybody, recently I was checking how many time consuming manual tasks I can perform with python scripts through ScriptEngine. I have in the project many devices and currently I export bootprojects for them by right clicking on Application, then go Export -> Bootproject and firmware (SD Card) and then point folder where files should be exported. It's fine if project has few devices, but I have some of them with over 30 devices and manual clicking like that is very time consuming. How can I do it with python script? So far I found "create_boot_application" method from Application object (taken by projects.primary.find('Application', True)) but it only generates .app and .crc file instead of full structure to store on SD card (FIRMWARE, USERDATA, SDCARD.INI, Version, Version.txt.sig). Should I use some method to control user interface? Best regards, Adam

Post by xiaolo on Raspberry Pi 5 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Does Ver. 4.12 support Raspberry Pi 5? I have three issues. The first issue is that Codesys cannot detect the RPI 5 when I want to download the runtime. When assigning the IP Address manually then I can download the runtime. The second issue is that I cannot connect to the RPI to download a program. Sometimes the window pops up and it ask for the user credentials, but it is still not connecting. The third issue is that I cannot connect to an ESP32 configured as a Modbus Slave with a Raspberry Pi 4B. I can connect to the ESP32 via a Radzio! Modbus Master Simulator. I am also missing the function Write Holding Registers in the setup of the slave. Are this known issues and when it will be solved?

Post by sigurdrb on Codesys and error messages, warnings exceptions etc. ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, I tried some different libraries (CmpApp etc.) to find some global variables that I could read out as a variable in the codesys environment. Do any one of you know which libraries are best suited for this, and how I can read it out? My goal is to send messages, warnings etc. to the system that communicates to the PLC. Currently if something goes wrong I need to see the logfiles, or go online with the controller. I think I could save a lot of time if I could read the errors from our user interface that is connected to the PLC by TCP/IP.

Post by dsa28 on OPC UA subscriber not operational ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, Thanks for the reply. Please note that the information and links provided are related to OPC UA Client/Server. My problem was related to OPC UA Pub/Sub. In the end I have managed to establish OPC UA Pub/Sub communication between Codesys and TwinCAT systems. Keep in mind that OPC UA Pub/Sub example is not provided in the latest library version 1.1.0.0. The user needs to download the previous version to get the example. During the configuration I ended up with some doubts regarding the usage of IEC_ARRAY type in the dataset definition (see attachment). Can you please give more information on how to use this type? Many thanks.

Post by alberto on ExportPLCopenXML is failing ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I'm trying to export my whole project through the option ExportPLCopenXML. It seems working, but when I'm trying to import the xml I have the following error during the importation process: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. It seems a usual issue with this process that affects to the pointer to user classes inside a procedure. I receive this error for two general functions that have this pointer declarations in the VAR_INPUT section. It seems a bug into the export/import process of CodeSYS and I couldn't skip it so far. Anyone could help me? Thanks in advance.

Post by beavel on Customizing FileOpenSave Dialog and Keypad Integration in Visualization ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi all, I'm looking to adjust the visualization of the FileOpenSave dialog. Is there a library or visualization file associated with this dialog that can be extracted, customized, and re-imported into the project — similar to how the user management dialogs can be handled? Alternatively, is there a supported way to replace or override the default dialog with a custom one? Also, is it possible to configure the FileOpenSave dialog to use a custom keypad for text input? The rest of the project uses a custom keypad due to readability concerns (the default one is too small), and this inconsistency is now quite noticeable. Any guidance or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! @thk @eschwellinger @sheberle

Post by jtebokkel on Access to the path *** is denied ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I am also having this issue. It was working fine for the first 2ish months and is now throwing this error. I can just try and go online again a second time and it works. I'm wondering if there is an environmental variable or something that isn't set that is causing it to use an empty path as a temp directory. The empty path will be the location the app is running from which is that path C:\Program Files\CODESYS 3.5.19.50\CODESYS\Common. The permissions don't allow a normal user to write to that directory which causes the error. It also only seems to happen when there are changes or the build has been cleaned.
