Post by mubeta on Profibus DP master with EL6731 and automatic restart of slaves ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
WHEREAS, I have already searched various posts and forums, where mostly there are few references and mostly geared toward integration in TwinCAT. I am looking for how to properly configure the EL6731 board as a DP master, (where I have its 3S license), with CoDeSys 3.5.19.x. I have three types of slaves, all integrated with their GSD descriptors. In the tab for the various slaves, I don't see options related to node restart on 'station return'. On the card manual, I read that for each slave I should be able to configure parameter 8000:2C: “8000:2C Restart behavior after DP fault Reserve, must be 0 BIT1 RW 0x00 (0dec)” However, in the project I see no way to configure this parameter, in any of the boards; and the arrays do not always have such an extensive size; most of the time they are only two or three words in size. The problem is that, after the hot reset of CoDeSys, the master restarts by starting all slave nodes, but if one or more get lost and go offline, there is then no automatic restart upon their return. I would need to figure out any solution, even via software, how to figure out that this one is back available and restart it.

Post by kiranbsiddaiah on CodeSys OPC UA client Unable to Connect To OPC UA sever through Username and password ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, I'm using codesys v3.5 sp21 software. I have downloaded the sample opc ua client project from https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Examples/_ex_uacapi_example.html and i tested connecting to "prosys opc ua simulation server". Through Anonymous connection it is connecting to server and can read data. Later tried to connect using username and password. First got a SECURITY_CHECKS_FAILED error, trusted the client certificate in the server and this issue resolved. Next got an INVALID_CERTIFICATE error, trusted the server certificate in the client and this issue resolved. After these two error it is not establishing the connection and not giving any error messages. UAAsyncProp: UA.AsyncProperty := (tnTaskName:='UAClientTask', usiTaskPrio:=20, udiTaskInterval:=10000); UAPolicy: UA.SecurityPolicy := (sPolicy:=UA.OpcUa_SecurityPolicy.OpcUa_SecurityPolicy_Aes128Sha256RsaOaep, eSecurity:=UA.SECURITY_MODE.SIGN_AND_ENCRYPT); //UAPolicy: UA.SecurityPolicy := (sPolicy:=UA.OpcUa_SecurityPolicy.OpcUa_SecurityPolicy_None, eSecurity:=UA.SECURITY_MODE.NONE); UAAuth: UA.UserNameAuth := (sUserName:=UAVars.sUser, sPassword:=UAVars.sPass); UAClient: UA.Client := ( itfAsyncProperty:= UAAsyncProp, //sClientName:= 'MyOPC UA client name', //default: ‘CODESYS OPC UA Client’ sURL:= UAVars.sURL, sSession:= UAVars.sSession, itfPolicy:= UAPolicy, itfAuth:=UAAuth, udiTimeout:= 100000 //,itfNamespaceArray:= UAVars.itfNamespaceArray //optional use ); ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please let me know if any additional information required. Thank you...

The green icon with an ! next to the device is concerning. Is the data type correct for the input, you are using a byte input but the description says string. Is there anything useful in the status tab?

Post by acc00 on Main Task cycle too long leading to PLC Fail ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I have 2 Wago PFC200 PLC, running with Runtime SP19 Patch 5, with the Redundant application. The PLC communicates as Modbus Master with at this moment 15 Modbus Slaves -later there will be 28 in total- (Drives, Power management units,...). These devices are connected in 2 rings (1 ring of Drives, 1 ring of Power Management units), with 2 Managed Moxa Switches being part of the ring. Each PLC is connected to one of these switches. The issue I'm encountering is that the Cycle time of the Active PLC goes very high when I'm closing the Drive ring (simulating an issue on one Cabinet supply, resulting in that one Drive shut down, which can happen on field quite often). As a result of this long cycle, the PLC fails and goes to Exception, and the Passive PLC does not take control of the system. A normal cycle is around 30ms for the Main task, and a few ms for the Ethercat task. When I monitor with Profiler, I see that in this Maximum Cycle, the main Task is only taking 13ms, so I'm not sure where the PLC is hanging for so long. Is the remaining cycle time the Redundant management/sync or something else? Thank you in advance.

Post by r-niedermayer on Collapse all ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Basically, Codesys does support the Windows shortcuts: such as the " * " and " / " as well as the " + " and " - " Numpad keys to expand or collapse folders and subfolders or the element. This affects both, the objects in the device tree and the folding structures in f.e. the ST editor.

Post by jeindhoven on Deploying to raspberry pi 5 hangs ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Yep sure, though now that i think of it, its a pi 4. My bad. The whole ordeal was necessary to use the VGA666 adapter. That needs the old graphical system and GPIO directly on the CPU. Edit: Putty on the virtual development machine connects fine. But i did change the login/pw. The account is still a sudo'er so that should be all right. Edit2: Sorry i get a "Comment rate limit exceeded" from the forum. Then i'll add it as edit here. So i have tried the stock raspberry pi image on a different pi5 (truly 5 this time). Packages updated. Standard password. Same symptoms, no runtime deployed and long hang time. Versions of this pi: pi@raspberrypi:~ $ uname -a Linux raspberrypi 6.12.25+rpt-rpi-2712 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.12.25-1+rpt1 (2025-04-30) aarch64 GNU/Linux pi@raspberrypi:~ $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Debian Description: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) Release: 12 Codename: bookworm pi@raspberrypi:~ $ apt list --installed | grep openssh-server openssh-server/stable,now 1:9.2p1-2+deb12u6 arm64 [installed,automatic] Attached is the Device information and error text that Codesys comes up with. Edit 3 (Comment rate limit, otherwise it would be a new post) Now i have tried booting an older native Windows 10 machine (no virtualization), and it just works as expected. I have now a raspberry pi 4 and raspberry pi 5 with version 4.16.0.0 of the control application. Windows 10 native: build 19045 (same as virtualised Win 10), same .NET version, same CODESYS version. It seems that running CODESYS virtualized somehow messes with the deployment?

Post by andre-luis on Check if Codesys runtime is on 'Running' or 'Stopped' state? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Just to share, for those who as me are seeking for this and had found no information anywhere in this World: Every time I stop/start the PLC runtime ( turning into 'Stopped' or 'Running' state ) the 'CODESYSControlService' appears at the Taskmanager list, which could suggest a straight correlation. I was expecting a clever solution, but this one solves for while.

Post by mubeta on Some 'pathetic' errors in SoftMotion program ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Yes, this point is part of my misunderstanding. Why, after the execution ot the motion FBs is set to FALSE and exsecuted at lest one time, it must be continuosly called, even if the motion control it's take from another subsequent instruction. This is what I really don't undertand, but what in fact it's happening. For example, in case of stopping a MoveVelocity FB, then Halting the motion by the related FB, the axis at spot goes into error. If there was bad trigger management, the various instructions would NEVER work.

Post by dkugler on EThercat Dynamic configuration ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I can confirm that at my 4ms EtherCAT Master the frames per second is equal at round about 500 with Codesys SP19. The same program at SP16 it was at 380-430 f/sec. for me it will be interesting too, whats the reason is for this high frame count/sec? I havn't had the time to use a paket sniffer and analyse all the frames. I can't help with your other questions, sorry.

Post by jinlee on Multiple WebVisu ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, thank you for replying. Basically, I have a main visu with frame selection. So, under some condition the frame will switch to a specific frame. It used to be controlled by variable using "Switch frame variable". However, I realise it will change all the HMI screen at one time. So I removed the variable, and still looking for a solution to do that. Do you have any idea?

I have two ethernet Ip drives and created Function Blocks for different motions tasks. I am using same FB for both the drives. When I try to execute the relative move start command on FB for both the drives it is not working. However, if I add 1ms second delay between the execution of each drive it is working. Also when I change the rung order it is working for the first drive in the rung. what could be the wrong here?

Post by dkugler on Alarm State Icon ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
thank you for pointing me to this "bug"!! I haven't recognized, the bit is reset after the first alarm is gone. I use this only for warnings, so it's not a drama, but was not correct in the past. I solved it now simply stupid by counting up a variable every time an alarm appears and decreasing it if an alarm is gone. The "warning lamp" is activated by checking the counter is > 0 The nice side effect, i'm able to show the number of active alarms in the state line now.

Post by totorovic on Softmotion not working with simulation mode ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Good morning, I think that the mode Simulation does not support the Softmotion functionnality because it runs the CODESYS process with normal priority wich is not a good thing for real-time behavior. If you want to test your PLC project, please use a Codesys Control Softmotion (and your computer must have the Ethercat driver installed) or much easier, download your code into the C6 Smart. BR

Post by s1mon on Two OneWireMaster on one Raspberry PI 5 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
All Sensors from the OneWire Master are assigned already to a seperate task with low prio (26) that runs with 1s cycle time. My EtherCat Task is running with Prio 1. It all works fine, until I adjust the CODESYScontrol.cfg or the CODESYScontrol_Usr.cfg files so that it supports a 2nd OneWire Master in the Codeys Runtime. If I change something in this config file and reboot my EtherCat Master stops working.
