Post by sajid on NMEA Serial data read in Control win v3 x64 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I am using the SerialCom example program from the CODESYS website to read NMEA strings in CODESYS Control Win V3 x64 through a serial-to-USB converter. However, I occasionally receive only partial data or encounter errors in the received string. A screenshot of expected NMEA string attached for reference. Could you please advise on how to ensure the full NMEA string is received consistently? Error in strRead variable is <value of="" the="" expression="" cannot="" be="" retrieved=""></value>

Hi I recently started learning Codesys SoftMotion. At first, I mainly used YouTube videos. I stopped at two videos where the same problem keeps recurring. fbReadPos( Axis := X_Axis, Enable := TRUE, Position => gAxes.lrActualPos); <- axis cannot move I checked the entire code line by line. Zero errors. GPT spits out nonsense, throwing up increasingly worse errors. And when I copy its code, it says the code is wrong and gets stuck in a loop of its own stupidity. Can anyone explain why it doesn't work? Link to the video below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYa2HvYZgbM&list=PLsEhEcYjG7na0OveU7cqFXBx7ATyGGn0A&index=3

Post by marciohogenelst on stablish CAN communication through the PC's USB port ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I'm using Codesys v3.21SP4 on my PC via ControlWin to establish CAN communication through the PC's USB port. The software works fine. The CAN/USB converter works fine and is validated. However, there is no communication. Which folder and file should be modified to allow the CAN/USB converter to work and thus achieve the connection? Converter used: PCAN-View Information not yet processed: Access the folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\3S CODESYS\GatewayPLC\CODESYSControl.cfg Uncomment the line: Component.5=CmpPCANBasicDrv Any help would be appreciated.

Post by hackehucke on Mithilfe von SysSocket eine Verbindung herstellen ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hallo zusammen, vorweg: ich habe sehr sehr wenig Ahnung von Codesys, industrieller Kommunikation etc ... Ich soll für ein Seminar mithilfe der Library SysSocket eine HTTP Verbindung zwischen PC und und der Wago PFC200 herstellen, die wir hier im Labor haben. Ich habe mir unterschiedliche Examples von Codesys angeschaut, ChatGPT gepromptet etc. aber komme nicht in die Nähe von irgendwas, das funktioniert. Kann mir jemand ganz einsteigerfreundlich erklären, welche Bausteine ich benötige und was mit diesen getan werden müsste, um das ganze zum laufen zu bekommen? Wäre auf ewig dankbar ... Verzweifle hier langsam :( Viele Grüße

Post by ryusoup on 'keep last value' option in CODESYS EtherCAT ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I’m using CODESYS EtherCAT Master on a Raspberry Pi controller with several remote I/O modules. I’m facing an issue where the input values from the remote I/Os drop to 0 when a connection error occurs. Is there a way to configure a “keep last value” behavior (i.e., hold the last valid input) instead of defaulting to 0 on communication loss? Best regards,

Post by farren on Codesys complains about matching versions ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I'm building up a 2nd PC to match an existing developer PC. Installed the same SP and Patch levels but when I open a project that was created on the existing PC, Codesys complains that it's not the same version. Attaching a screenshot..... What else is there to match? Also, can all of the libraries that are on the existing machine be copied from it to the new machine and if so, how? (So I get the same versions) Which files/folders do I copy? Thanks! -Farren

Post by william on Unit testing support / libraries for EcoStruxure Machine Expert (CODESYS) ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, We are investigating available libraries and frameworks for automated PLC unit testing in Schneider EcoStruxure Machine Expert. Specifically, we are looking for: Assertion libraries or test frameworks compatible with Machine Expert CODESYS‑based solutions that are not TwinCAT‑specific Any official or community‑recommended approach for unit testing FB/FC logic offline We have found several open‑source examples, but many appear to be TwinCAT‑dependent and therefore not compatible. Are there any known libraries, best practices, or recommended approaches for implementing unit tests in Machine Expert? Thanks in advance.

Post by bevisjame on Engineering IDE from linux? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Switching to Linux can be a great choice, but I understand the concern with Codesys development. Using a virtual machine (VM) is definitely a solid option, as it allows you to run Windows and Codesys without compromising your Linux environment. Many users have had success with this setup, and it keeps everything neatly contained. Alternatively, Wine can work for some applications, but compatibility can vary. If you choose the VM route, be sure to allocate enough resources for smooth performance. Good luck with your transition! stickman hook 3

I guess you could archive the project, open the archive and go online. Is that suffiecient for your use case?

Guess you could just add two modbus slaves with the same ip, to enlarge the 10 channel limit.
