Post by eschwellinger on CODESYS control on RPi starts, shortly runs, then exits ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
in case you are using latest hw revision, there have been added some mac adresses - for the 4.17.0.0 release this might solve it. If not we need to investigate deeper. If it is application related you need to check the plclogger.

Post by gseidel on Use MC_Home without enabling the drive for homing method 35 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi Artur, as mentioned by imdatatas, homing when not enabled is not supported in SoftMotion. If enabling before homing is not an option, an alternative might be controller based homing using MC_SetPosition. Best regards, Georg

The structure should be the same independent of which runtime version. Im using Codesys control for linux SL. Ie, add an ethernet device, then profinet controler then phoenix PN bus coupler.

You should use PLCnext if your device-hw is a PLCnext-un it. As I understand it you are using "CODESYS Control Win V3 x64".

I am using TargetVisu in my v3.5 sp20 p6 (64-bit) project. I see no control that will allow me to bind, edit, and display a LREAL variable. Am I missing a library? If it exists, why can't I see it?

it should be something like: fbWebClient : WEB_CLIENT.WebClient; You need to use the "Namespace" of the library, not the name of the library itself.

You could try using the VUM_UserGroup struct from the VisuUserManagement library. I haven't tried this, but there is a variable for tAutoLogout to set the logout time.

you might have some slight inaccuracies with using a REAL. See here for an explanation: https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z0000019ZSMSA2&l=en-US It might not matter, depends on how accurate you need it. I usually stick with integer types for something like this

Post by kevin123 on (no subject) ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I am trying to do "update device" in a project which was saved in a different version of CODESYS using ScriptEngine, a dialog with 'Yes' and 'No' button popped up showing that "Do you want to upgrade the storage format for this project? -if you click 'Yes', storage format will be upgraded... -if you click 'No', storage format will not be changed..." I have to click the 'Yes' button automatically by scriptEngine. I know from others topics here in forum, that some dialogs can be auto-answered using system.prompt_answers. And I also get the messagekey of this dialog: Key: "<< No Key>>" Message: "Do you want to upgrade the storage format for this project? - If you click 'Yes',... i have tried using the system.prompt_answers command below, but the dialog was not auto-answered. system.prompt_answers["<<No Key>>"] = PromptResult.Yes Does someone know how to auto-answer the dialog using system.prompt_answers command with messagekey"<< No key>>"? or any suggestions to solve this issue, Thanks!
