Post by jmauer on Codesys 3.5 SP16 Modbus change port settings. ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I'm coming to you today because I'm trying to make the baudrate and the slave number dynamic. I've tried the "updateComPortSettings" method on the slave device but it doesn't work and gives the "Modbus_COM_Port" an error. Can you tell me how you got this method to work? Thanks in advance for your help jérémy

Suppose you need to switch PLC IP dynamically between 192.168.1.10\192.168.2.10, First, set PLC IP to 192.16.1.10. Create a PGVL with a flag ‘xUseSecondry’ xUseSecondry : bool ; create a function that use socket to update IP: FUNCTION fSwitchIP : bool VAR_INPUT useMainIP:bool; END_VAR --------------------------------CODE------ if useMainIP then SysSockSetIPAddress(‘0’, ‘192.168.1.10’); PGVL.xUseSecondry := 0; else SysSockSetIPAddress(‘0’, ‘192.168.2.10’); PGVL.xUseSecondry := 1; end_if Now, if during execution, you need to switch IP, call the function ‘fSwitchIP()’, Set input to 1 for main IP, 0 for secondary IP. In order to set secondary IP at startup, you can do the following: in your PLC_PRG add a flag: xInit : bool := 1 ; and the code: if xInit then if PGVL.xUseSecondry then fSwitchIP(0); end_if xInit := 0 ; end_if *Alternative way is to use system events.
