Post by corriibme on Setting array values with JSON Utilities SL ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
It turns out that you can build JSON structures without ever calling the JSONBuilder function block directly. Instead, create a pointer to JSON.JSONData and invoke the necessary methods on its dereference. The parent object has a parent index of -1 (and an index of 0). EVERY other item (including keys, values, empty arrays and sub-objects) created by the setX methods needs the index to increase by 1. Then use the JSONByteArrayWriter FB to generate your JSON string

Post by ndzied2 on Rounding error in simple addition ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
This is a consequence of how computers store floating point numbers. 0.1 cannot be exactly represented in a computer. This is not a CoDeSys thing. Here is a link to a converter to show you the exact value that is represented when you use a REAL data type (which is a 32 bit float). https://baseconvert.com/ieee-754-floating-point If you really need to keep track of 0.1 increments. use INT OR DINT and then add 1 each time and assume that there is one decimal place.

I am rather new to Codesys and I'm trying to figure out how to get the status of an alarm. This to interlock the start of a device until the alarm has been acknowledged... I am not sure if IAlarm.GetState (METH) can be used for this purpose. If yes then could someone please briefly explain how to use this? https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/libs/AlarmManager/4.1.0.0/Interfaces/pou-IAlarm/GetState.html Thx & grtz, Kris

Post by swe-hob on call of a method of a function block in another program ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, Let's assume following: PRG_1 fb_1 : fbExample1; fb_1.method_1 do something... PRG_2 fb_2 : fbExample2; fb_2.method_2 if xTest then PRG_1.fb_1.method_1(); end_if; Is there a reason why runtime hangs when I call the method_1 in PRG_1 from a method in PRG_2? Both programs run in the same task. No chance that any other program calls the method. What I practically do there is that in the program PRG_2 I add a structed object into a buffer. In PRG_1 I just process the items in the buffer.

I have Already the same problem when i'm trying to write data more than 10 times in the same file. In fact, i send my data periodicaly to a file that i configured to have permission of W/R in my CodesysContol.cfg. When the Error occurs, i must reboot my machine to success. It means that the problem isn't realted to a limitation of size, but a problem in the function supposed to handle the file. totorovic : allow me to know if you've found a solution to your problem. Thanks.

Post by timvh on History of Alarms ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
It is most likely related to the existing alarm log files in the Control Win. Depending on how you start up the Control Win, you can find the files in: C:\Users\<user name="">\AppData\Roaming\CODESYS\CODESYSControlWinV3x64\<unique id="">\PlcLogic\alarms\ Or C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\CODESYS\CODESYSControlWinV3x64\<unique id="">\PlcLogic\alarms\</unique></unique></user> Delete the files in this folder, download your project again and start the application. PS, if you have an older version of CODESYS, the files are in: C:\ProgramData\CODESYS\CODESYSControlWinV3x64\<unique id="">\PlcLogic\alarms</unique>

Post by bertus on Can't get SMC_SmoothPath to work ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello all, I am trying to run a XY trajectory from a static G-Code file. Everything works except the smoothing/blending of the corners. My setup: Codesys v3.5sp18 Raspberry Pi 4 CODESYS Control for Raspberry Pi SL, using demo license. Zero axes (only using the interpolator). The order of processing for my decoding is: SMC_NCDecoder (ok) SMC_SmoothMerge (ok) SMC_SmoothPath (not ok) SMC_LimitDynamics SMC_CheckVelocities I created following instances and buffers: fbNCDecoder: SMC_NCDecoder; fbSmoothMerge: SMC_SmoothMerge; fbSmoothPath: SMC_SmoothPath; fbLimitDynamics: SMC_LimitDynamics; fbCheckVelocities: SMC_CheckVelocities; aNCDecoderBuffer: ARRAY[0..49] OF SMC_GeoInfo; // buffer stage 1 (fbNCDecoder) aSmoothMergeBuffer: ARRAY[0..19] OF SMC_GeoInfo; // buffer stage 2 (fbSmoothMerge) aSmoothPathBuffer: ARRAY[0..99] OF SMC_GeoInfo; // buffer stage 3 (fbSmoothPath) aLimitDynamicsBuffer: ARRAY[0..39] OF SMC_GeoInfo; // buffer stage 4 (fbLimitDynamics) My original G-Code file has a lot of short G1 elements but this example, I reduced it to a simple square: N000 G51 D10 N010 G38 O1 N020 G00 X0 Y0 F50 E1000 E-1000 N030 G01 X0 Y-37.5 N040 G01 X-75 Y-37.5 N050 G01 X-75 Y37.5 N060 G01 X0 Y37.5 N070 G01 X0 Y0 N080 G50 N090 G39 O1 In the Codesys CNC settings, I have these instances activated: SMC_SmoothMerge SMC_SmoothPath SMC_LimitDynamics SMC_CheckVelocities And with those settings (and the path-preprocessing button actived), the G-Code viewer shows the square with nicely blended corners (see attached picture). However, when running it on the PLC, it doesn't blend the corners at all. Below the relevant part of my code. The process is started with bDecode. // stage 1: decoding G-code fbNCDecoder( ncprog := square, bExecute:= bDecode, bAbort:= NOT bDecode, nSizeOutQueue := SIZEOF(aNCDecoderBuffer), pbyBufferOutQueue := ADR(aNCDecoderBuffer) ); // stage 2: merge short linear segments fbSmoothMerge( bExecute := bDecode, poqDataIn := fbNCDecoder.poqDataOut, nSizeOutQueue := SIZEOF(aSmoothMergeBuffer), pbyBufferOutQueue := ADR(aSmoothMergeBuffer), piMaxDifference := PI_MAX_DIFFERENCE, usiMaxDegree := 5, wFeatureFlag := 1, wAdditionalParamNumber := 0, dMinimumCurvatureRadius := D_MIN_CURVATURE_RADIUS ); // stage 3: smooth corners fbSmoothPath( bExecute := bDecode, bAbort := NOT bDecode, poqDataIn := fbSmoothMerge.poqDataOut, eMode := SMC_SMOOTHPATHMODE.SP_SPLINE5_MIN_CURVATURE, eAddAxMode := SMC_SMOOTHPATHADDAXMODE.SPAA_NONE, nSizeOutQueue := SIZEOF(aSmoothPathBuffer), pbyBufferOutQueue := ADR(aSmoothPathBuffer), dAngleTol := D_ANGLE_TOL, bSymmetricalDistances := TRUE, bImprovedSymmetricCuts := TRUE ); // stage 4: keep acc/dec and velocity within limits fbLimitDynamics( bExecute := bDecode, bAbort := NOT bDecode, poqDataIn := fbSmoothPath.poqDataOut, wAxis := 16#07, nSizeOutQueue := SIZEOF(aLimitDynamicsBuffer), pbyBufferOutQueue := ADR(aLimitDynamicsBuffer), bIncludePathSettings := TRUE, dMaxVel := 2500, dMaxAccDec := 10000 ); // stage 5: check the path speed fbCheckVelocities( bExecute := bDecode, bAbort := NOT bDecode, poqDataIn := fbLimitDynamics.poqDataOut, dAngleTol := D_ANGLE_TOL); pathQueue := fbCheckVelocities.poqDataOut; // repeat until MaxDuration ... Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Is smooth path supposed to work at all when using a demo license? Thanks.

I am running tests using the Windows runtime environment. The alarm history is not being logged and displays the error: "Some kind of disk I/O error occurred. Check disk space" in the alarm table. Furthermore, it is not possible to export the alarms. I have already tried to find a configuration field in Alarm storage and Alarm configuration to fix this problem, but I haven't found any related fields.

Post by mubeta on Some 'pathetic' errors in SoftMotion program ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello everyone, I have a very simple program for the process, but it's driving me crazy and I can't see the problems I'm left with: Short topological description: Dual Core Berghof controller with softmotion runtime version 3.5.19.30; Two axes with servodrive on canopen bus, clocked distributed from master; Ethercat I/O node; 2 ms ethercat task, 2 ms canopen bus cycle time; I/O objects of the canopen master and canopen drives connected to the ethercat task cycle; Problem 1: Two separate programs each manage their own axis and drive, with separate state machines. A first axis moves primarily in velocity, except having to position itself absolutely at a predetermined point at the end of the job; the second axis, on the other hand, is a paper unwinder that changes, for each job cycle, from actions in absolute, relative, and cam displacement with the master axis. Well, the state machine of both axes was written in such a way as to call running the useful FB and change it on state change in this way: CASE i_stateMachine OF 0: o_Power(Enable := TRUE, bRegulatorOn := FALSE, bDriveStart := FALSE, Axis := o_PaperUnwinderAxis); o_MoveAbs(Execute := FALSE, Axis := o_PaperUnwinderAxis); o_MoveRel(Execute := FALSE, Axis := o_PaperUnwinderAxis); o_CamSelect(Execute := FALSE, Master := o_MachineAxis, Slave := o_PaperUnwinderAxis, CamTable := cam_PaperUnwinder); o_CamIn(Execute := FALSE, Master := MachineEncoder, Slave := o_PaperUnwinderAxis); o_CamOut(Execute := FALSE, Slave := o_PaperUnwinderAxis); o_SetPosition(Execute := FALSE, Axis := o_PaperUnwinderAxis); IF ... THEN i_StateMachine := 10; END_IF; 10: o_Power( Enable := TRUE, bRegulatorOn := TRUE, bDriveStart := TRUE, Axis := o_PaperUnwinderAxis ); IF o_Power.Status THEN i_StateMachine := 20; END_IF; 20: (* Avanzamento carta *) o_MoveAbs( Execute := TRUE, Position := o_Somewhere, Velocity := 25.0, Acceleration := 3666.7, Deceleration := 3666.7, Jerk := 48000.0, Direction := MC_DIRECTION.positive, Axis := o_PaperUnwinderAxis ); IF o_MoveAbs.Done THEN o_MoveAbs(Execute := FALSE, Axis := o_PaperUnwinderAxis); i_StateMachine := 30; END_IF 30: d_HomingPosition := ...; o_SetPosition( Execute := TRUE, Position := d_HomingPosition, Mode := FALSE, Axis := o_PaperUnwinderAxis ); (* ... *) IF o_SetPosition.Done = TRUE THEN o_SetPosition(Execute := FALSE, Axis := o_PaperUnwinderAxis ); o_LogServer.Append(sMessage := '...', lscClass := LOGSERVER_CLASS.ALWAYS, sdt := o_CommonsMgrData.systime.sdtLocal); i_StateMachine := 40; END_IF; 50: ... The code above is a sketchy example of what I wanted to write. But it gives me a spot problem: in some, the state change results in a drive error, which is unrecoverable except with a reinitialization via SM3_ReinitDrive(). Things are improved a little if in the program I always run the call of all softmotion blocks in this way: o_Power(Axis := o_PaperUnwinderAxis); o_Jog(Axis := o_PaperUnwinderAxis); o_Halt(Axis := o_PaperUnwinderAxis); o_MoveAbs(Axis := o_PaperUnwinderAxis); o_MoveRel(Axis := o_PaperUnwinderAxis); o_CamIn(Master := MachineEncoder, Slave := o_PaperUnwinderAxis); o_CamOut(Slave := o_PaperUnwinderAxis); If I don't execute all the calls of all the motion FBs used, when exchanging machine state often (but not always), the axis goes into error with event id THE_FB_WASNT_CALL... Done a little diagnostics it seems that the FBs return the bDone, before they are completely terminated. I tried doing the machine state exchange not with the bDone bit of the FBs, but with the 'standstill' state of the axis. It didn't seem to change anything. Problem 2: During the use SM3_ReinitDrive() I get the erro in the log: "NetID 0: SDO read error for object 16#607C..." Assuming that the device involved it's one of the two servodrive, (no others device are present in the network), I don't found any object 0x607C in the 'possible object list in/out' of the two drive, and I don't understand where this object can be listed. So any ideas and suggestions regarding these two issues will be very, very welcome. If you need the source project, I am willing to send it.
