just add in /etc/CODESYSControl_Usr.cfg [CmpRasPi] Architecture=armv7l for the 32Bit MC version... this is what this dialog does (or at least should do)

Ist das RS232 oder RS485? Bei RS485 muss der Adaper also dein USB/Serial die Senderichtung in Hardware machen und das unterstützen. Abschlusswiederstände?

Is there perhaps a place where I can see examples of programming with different instructions? This would be a great help. Maybe there are some places where ready-made programs are posted that can be downloaded and tested? /Klaus

Post by cdutz on Problems connecting to Codesys 4.9.0.0 runtime on my Wago PFC200 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi all. I am currently struggling to get my Wago PFC200 running the Codesys Runtime in version 4.9.0.0 working. I am using Codesys V3.5SP19. I updated the PFC200 to the firmware version 04.01.10(23) after having tried the latest version (04.03.03(25) from Wago and not being able to start the runtime. After reading version 23 was needed, I changed to that and at least was able to have it start the codesys runtime. I also installed the "Codesys Control for PFC200 SL 4.9.0.0" plugin for Codesys to install the Codesys runtime in version 4.9.0.0 as well as update the Gateway on the device. While I seem to be able to connect to the gateway on the PLC (the dot is green) and when doing a scan, I do now find my PFC200, which is a huge improvement to before, where with firmware version 25 it just failed to start the runtime and I never found any device when doing a scan. Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to connect to the PLC in codesys. I logged in via SSH and changed the password and I can see that this password is correct as the stuff in the Codesys PFC200 tools tab only works if I use my changed password. And I used those credentials to update the installed Runtime version, which the log claimed to have worked fine. Now whenever I try to connect to the device found in the scan, I get a authentication pop-up with empy device name, device address: 000A. As User I use "root" and as password the password that I changed it to. As a response I just get "Ungültige Benutzerauthentifizierung auf dem Gerät" (Eng. probably something like "Invalid user authentication on the device". What could I be doing wrong? Admittedly I'm a bit lost here :-/ Chris

Post by jeffg on ERROR: GetNetLinkSockAndInfoByMac(): could not open netlink socket: Too many open files ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I just installed codesys runtime on a raspberry pi Cortex-A72 (ARM v8) 64-bit SoC @ 1.5GHz (Compute Module 4) I am running on Codesys control for raspberry pi 64 SL ver 4.13.0 and I keep getting a crash after about five to ten minutes. This program was running fine on a 32bit system with runtime 4.8 previously but they upgraded the panel PC cause it got smashed. Looking at the logs I see this error "ERROR: GetNetLinkSockAndInfoByMac(): could not open netlink socket: Too many open files" at the time of crash. I do have a UDP socket open for a serial to ethernet adapter and im wondering if maybe its opening a bunch of sockets and while receiving messages, Im not sending anything to the device only receiving. Below is the code used for the UDP VAR // Scale Comm fbPeerServer : NBS.UDP_Peer; ipAddress : NBS.IPv4Address; fbReceive : NBS.UDP_Receive; xPeerActiv : BOOL := TRUE; abyReceive : ARRAY [0..255] OF BYTE; sLastValidReceive : STRING(255); udiIndex : UDINT; END_VAR IF xPeerActiv AND NOT fbPeerServer.xBusy THEN ipAddress.SetInitialValue(ipAddress := gvlSettings.sIPAddres); fbPeerServer(xEnable := TRUE, itfIPAddress := ipAddress, uiPort := gvlSettings.uiPort); END_IF fbPeerServer(); fbReceive(xEnable := fbPeerServer.xBusy, itfPeer := fbPeerServer, pData := ADR(abyReceive), udiSize := SIZEOF(abyReceive)); IF fbReceive.udiCount > 0 THEN IF fbReceive.udiCount < SIZEOF(sLastValidReceive) THEN SysMem.SysMemCpy(pDest := ADR(sLastValidReceive), pSrc := ADR(abyReceive), udiCount := fbReceive.udiCount); // Set End of String sLastValidReceive[fbReceive.udiCount] := 0; END_IF END_IF If anyone as seen this I could really use some help figuring it out.

Post by toffeebonbon on Die richtige CODESYS-Runtime auf dem Raspberry Pi ausrollen (3.5 SP18) ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Guten Morgen, wie der Titel verrät soll es hier um das Ausrollen der CODESYS Runtime auf einem Raspberry Pi gehen. Ob ein klassischer Raspberry Pi aus dem Consumer-Bereich oder ein Compute-Modul spielt in dem Fall keine Rolle. Ich möchte nur anderen Nutzern Hilfestellung geben, die vielleicht ein vergleichbares Problem haben wie ich: Auf Raspberry Pi lief bei mir eine Anwendung, die mit Lizenzen auf einem CODESYS-Dongle lizenziert waren (Multicore-Support und Softmotion). Nach einem Hardware-Defekt habe ich meinen Rasperry Pi gegen eine robustere Lösung getauscht. Ich wollte auf der neuen Hardware die Runtime ausrollen und habe ständig den Fehler gezeigt bekommen, dass die Target- oder Zielsystem-ID nicht stimmt. Für den Raspberry Pi gibt es ja drei verschiedene Optionen der Runtime: 32bit Singlecore (armv6l) 32bit Multicore (armv7l) 64bit Multicore (aarch64) Entscheidend dafür, ob die 32 oder 64 Bit Runtime benötigt wird ist das auf der dem Raspberry Pi installierte Betriebssystem. In meinem Fall hatte ich durch die neue Hardware auch ein aktuellen Betriebsystem-Image aufgespielt, weshalb sich da der Umstieg von 32 auf 64Bit eingeschlichen hatte. In der Entwicklungsumgebung kann über Tools -> Control SL ausrollen das Fenster geöffnet werden, um die richtige Laufzeitumgebung auf dem Steuerungsrechner zu installieren. Bei kleinen Bildschirmen (bei mir ein 15" Laptop) kann der rechte Bereich "abgeschnitten" und das Dropdown-Menü als solches nicht auf den ersten Blick erkennbar sein. Mein Fehler war, dass ich den Scrollbalken nicht gesehen habe! (Bild im Anhang mit freundlicher Genehmigung von Herrn Heberle vom CoDeSys-Support) Nach dem auswählen der jeweils passenden Version kann die Runtime installiert und das Programm wieder geladen werden. Die Lizenzen sind bei mir wieder korrekt erkannt worden und alles läuft wie vorher (nur mit neuer Hardware). Vielen Dank an der Stelle noch mal an die schnelle Hilfe vom Support. Das hat wirklich top funktioniert.

Post by kevinl on Weidmüller und u-OS bugs ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hallo zusammen Wir setzen mehrere Weidmüller UC20-WL2000 mit CODESYS Runtime und System-Bus ein und kämpfen seit einiger Zeit mit Problemen, für die wir bisher keine Ursache finden konnten. Aktuell beobachten wir zwei Phänomene: System-Bus Probleme Bei einer Anlage verlieren die I/O-Module sporadisch die Verbindung. Im Log erscheinen Meldungen wie: SLIO:CheckModule missing NotReachable Module Unplugged Nach diversen Updates (u-OS 2.7, aktuelle Runtime, aktuelles CODESYS) wurde das Verhalten eher schlechter statt besser. Anfangs traten die Fehler sporadisch auf, inzwischen funktioniert der System-Bus teilweise gar nicht mehr. Auch ein Downgrade auf eine ältere u-OS Version half nicht wirklich, aber ev ist es mit der aktuellen Runtime nicht kompatibel. Probleme nach Spannungsunterbruch / Neustart Mehrfach hatten wir bereits den Fall, dass eine Steuerung nach einem Spannungsunterbruch oder Neustart nicht mehr vollständig hochkommt. Teilweise startet die CODESYS Runtime nicht mehr (vermutlich aufgrund von Problemen mit Persistent-Daten), in einem aktuellen Fall ist zusätzlich das u-OS Backend nicht mehr erreichbar. Die Welcome-Seite erscheint noch, beim Login läuft der Request jedoch in einen 504 Gateway Timeout. Hardware: UC20-WL2000 u-OS 2.x System-Bus mit mehreren UR20 Modulen CODESYS Control SL Runtime Mich würde interessieren: Hat jemand ähnliche Erfahrungen mit UC20-WL2000 oder u-OS gemacht? Gibt es bekannte Probleme mit dem System-Bus? Gibt es Workarounds bezüglich Persistent-Daten oder Recovery nach Spannungsunterbruch? Hat jemand ähnliche 504-Fehler im u-OS Backend gesehen? Vielen Dank für jeden Hinweis.

Post by brouwyka on JSONByteArrayWriter string result incorrect order ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello everybody! We are currently working on implementing a call to an API that tracks data sent to it through a JSON body. Versions: CODESYS V3.5 SP19 Patch 7 using IIOT Libraries SL license, specifically JSON Utilities SL version 1.13.0.0. For simplicity, let's say we want to construct the following JSON body for our request (simplified to just 1 key-value pair in each of the array objects to keep things shorter, but we'd have multiple fields in each in reality): { "id": "machine_1", "readings": [ { "temp_mid": 153.8 }, { "temp_mid": 98.3 } ], "status": "RUNNING" } However, our "readings" data is added over time, not in creation, so calls to the builder would be somewhat out of order. In a simplified manner, our calls would look like this: jsonBuilder(pJsonData := JsonData, diRootObj => rootJsonIndex); // rootJsonIndex = 0. // Set "id" at root JSON object. wsValue := "machine_1"; jsonBuilder.SetKeyWithValue("id", wsValue, diParentIndex := rootJsonIndex); // JSONData KEY: diParentIndex = 0 & diIndex = 1, VALUE: diParentIndex = 1 & diIndex = 2. // ... Time passes, we get our first reading to add ... // The "readings" array does not exist yet, so we make it first at root JSON object before adding our first reading. readingsJsonArrayIndex := jsonBuilder.SetKeyWithArray("readings", diParentIndex := rootJsonIndex); // JSONData KEY: diParentIndex = 0 & diIndex = 3, VALUE: diParentIndex = 3 & diIndex = 4. // Then add the first reading, for which we first have to make an object. readingsJsonArrayObjectIndex := jsonBuilder.SetObject(diParentIndex := readingsJsonArrayIndex); // JSONData OBJECT: diParentIndex = 4 & diIndex = 5. // And then we add the field(s) in the object for the first reading. // NOTE the use of `readingsJsonArrayObjectIndex` so we set the field(s) in the first object in the array. rValue := 153.8; jsonBuilder.SetKeyWithValue("temp_mid", wsValue, diParentIndex := readingsJsonArrayObjectIndex); // JSONData KEY: diParentIndex = 5 & diIndex = 6, VALUE: diParentIndex = 6 & diIndex = 7. // ... Time passes, we want to add another root-JSON-level field ... // Set "status" at root JSON object. wsValue := "RUNNING"; jsonBuilder.SetKeyWithValue("status", wsValue, diParentIndex := rootJsonIndex); // JSONData KEY: diParentIndex = 0 & diIndex = 8, VALUE: diParentIndex = 8 & diIndex = 9. // ... Time passes, we want to add a second reading ... // "readings" array exists, so add the second reading, but first we have to make another object. // NOTE the re-use of the earlier stored `readingsJsonArrayIndex`, so we add the new object to that previously created array. readingsJsonArrayObjectIndex := jsonBuilder.SetObject(diParentIndex := readingsJsonArrayIndex); // JSONData OBJECT: diParentIndex = 4 & diIndex = 10. // And then we add the field(s) in the object for the first reading. // NOTE the use of `readingsJsonArrayObjectIndex` so we set the field(s) in the SECOND(, new) object in the array. rValue := 98.3; jsonBuilder.SetKeyWithValue("temp_mid", wsValue, diParentIndex := rootJsonIndex); // JSONData KEY: diParentIndex = 10 & diIndex = 11, VALUE: diParentIndex = 11 & diIndex = 12. // ... Finally, we want to send to the API, so we must convert the builder to data the client accepts as a body ... xTestWriteToJsonArray := TRUE; jsonArrayWriter( xExecute := xTestWriteToJsonArray, pwData := ADR(jsonDataString), udiSize := SIZEOF(jsonDataString), jsonData := JsonData^ ); IF jsonArrayWriter.xDone THEN // The writer was successful, the `jsonDataString` VAR should now contain a WString copy of the JSON object from the builder. xTestWriteToJsonArray := FALSE; END_IF We see that the JsonData STRUCT is correctly organised (in terms of the diParentIndex & diIndex set by it for each JsonElement) as we expect, as outlined in my comments in the simplified code above. However, as soon as we pass it to the jsonArrayWriter (which is a JSON.JSONByteArrayWriter), the resulting jsonDataString does not match our expectations, instead coming out like this: { "id": "machine_1", "readings": [ { "temp_mid": 153.8 } ] } { "temp_mid": 98.3 } "status": "RUNNING" The behaviour of the JSONByteArrayWriter thus seems to be the problem here. It does not seem to correctly process the children of JsonElements that are ARRAYs when additions to them are done broken up by additions to the lower level JSON OBJECT they are a part of. We have confirmed this by changing the order of the calls in our example to add both readings before adding the "status", in which case we get our expected outcome. However, in reality this is not possible for us - additions to any of the JSON's objects, arrays or array objects may happen at any time after other fields elsewhere in the JSON have been added. Does anyone know a way around this, a fix, or knows a solution we simply have not found? This same phenomenon was also noted on this forum by user @ryusoup at the end of 2023 (https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/Engineering/thread/c45929e2f1/#e27f) and user @mtho in early 2024 (https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/Engineering/thread/cd1bb450db/#1292) but both topics received no activity beyond both users' opening posts. Looking through the release notes of all the versions of the JSON Utilities SL library, I also did not see any remarks on resolutions of bugs in this vain. Thanks in advance for the assistance!
