Post by sigbjorn-kleppe on How to display only legend description and not variable name ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I have a question regarding the Trend and LegendDisplayer visualization elements. As the provided image suggests, I am trending two variables which show the torque of two motors in terms of % of max load. Below the trend element, is the LegendDisplayer element which correctly displays the name of both trends. But also, it displays the actual variable name in parenthesis, which I do not want. Currently, the name is set by entering a description for each variable in the trend recording settings. But I can't seem to find any option to display only this description. Is it possible to only remove the variable name used in the software? I'm using CODESYS 3.5.21.50. Thanks in advance!

I must have ended in some kind of limbo between versions, because today after compile/download everything works as wanted.

Instead of complete VM's, you could also create a sandbox installation using the CODESYS installer.

Any updates on this? A dark mode is in most IDE state of the art already.

Post by gseidel on Mismatch between coordinate monitor and actual motion using SMC_GroupJog2, MC_MoveLinearAbsolute (6DOF) ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi darwin03, as can bee seen at the end of your video, the direction of rotation now seems correct for all axes. I can only guess, but the most likely reason are different denavit hartenberg parameters in the SoftMotion axis group editors and the robot used in the simulation tool. Maybe some arm lengths differ, maybe some offsets are given with opposite sign. I would again refer you to https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/libs/SM3_Transformation/Current/SM3_Transformation/Function-Blocks/Standalone-Kinematics/Articulated-Robots/6AxisArticulated/Kin_ArticulatedRobot_6DOF.html. Please double check all parameters and the table of the DH parameters given there and compare that against the robot in the simulation tool. Also: did you configure any tool in CODESYS? I would suggest to simplify and remove any tools for finding the source of the wrong movements. Best regards, Georg

Post by fless on No source code available for profinet library ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
looks like you are running in a bug in the newest version 4.4.0 of the profinet library or the new library triggers a bug in your code. did you update your profinet device too? you could try to downgrade to an older version of the library. via library manager - placeholders, double click Profinet 4.4.0 in the library column and choose an older version.

Post by snhatton on Retain memory change to ZERO ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I think more information is needed to help solve the issue. Can you list the exact steps to reproduce the issue? What version of Codesys are you using? Did you add a persistentVars object to your project? I would recommend browsing all instances of the retain variable to see all possible writes to the variable in question.

Post by snhatton on Alarm Management - latched variable represented as Text list ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi There, For my understanding: are you trying to display the contents of a text list in an alarm message based on the id? For example, you could maintain a text list of common alarm messages, and then display based on which message is true?

Post by tk096 on Motion FB Error ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, Softmotion Robotics does not support tracking in/out to dynamic coordinate systems with relative movements. Is MC_MoveLinearAbsolute an option? See SMC_RELATIVE_MOVEMENT_TRACKING_CS in https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/libs/SM3_Error/Current/SM3_Error/SMC_ERROR.html Concerning the other error: Do you use any motion function blocks of SM3_Basic to move a single axis of the robot in your application?

Post by tk096 on Some 'pathetic' errors in SoftMotion program ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, I suppose that you are referring to the error code "SMC_FB_WASNT_CALLED_DURING_MOTION"? Starting of Softmotion version 4.15.0.0 the instance path of the function block that has not been called is logged into the device log. This might help you to identify why it has not been called.

Post by dantheman on Connecting to SoftPLC Only Works By Turning Off Modbus Ethernet Port ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I've also noticed that when I turn off "enp1s0", suddenly the source IP for the ModbusTCP changes to that of "enp2s0", which is what makes sense to me. When I turn it back on, the source IP remains that of "enp2s0".
