Post by paulorb on STRUCT AT %MW1000 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi I am trying to use STRUCT to parse commands from Modbus/TCP, Modbus client will fill the bytes related to a specific command (type, parameters), then PLC (Codesys) will access the command parameters. A STRUCT will simplify a lot the process of parsing the data, so I don't need to parse byte per byte, address will be mapped to a struct and I can use it for parsing the data. From what I understood, the compiler does not allow me to specify the location of the struct for a %MW register. VAR_COMMAND AT %MW1002: structGenericModbusCommand; This will throw: Bad declaration, use '%ML' for 'structGenericModbusCommand' variable But If I change it to %ML, when you go online you see that it is actually allocating the struct in another memory address. When we go online, on GVL we can see: VAR_COMMAND. structGenericModbusCommand %ML1002 commandType COMMANDTYPE %MB8016 ... %MB8020 I am not specifying a pointer or a reference it is a struct type, why is it mapping to a %MW location (random one). How can I control where it is mapping to? I need a consistent way to map STRUCT to specific modbus address. Is it possible? Thanks, Paulo Note I am using a Codesys OEM: Schneider Machine Expert Logic Builder (M241)

This is normal and correct since in CoDeSys static addressing of variables uses the IEC method. A LONG tag has the size of 8 bytes, so %ML0 coincides with %MB0 ... %MB7; %ML1000 with %MB8000 ... %MB8007. (Similar reason for word and other formats). Also the reason the compiler won't let you map the structure to a %MW depends on the fact that the individual base elements are manipulated to 64 bits regardless of the smaller size. That said, it makes me strange that you cannot write a parser without making use of static memory allocation.

I think you have already up and running an Edge on the host ( not in the container) please uninstall that edge, then it should work.

Post by shawn-plc on Return value from a tag given a string literal ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Good afternoon everyone, I am looking for a way to return a value given a string tag path. I put together a pseudo-example to illustrate my use-case and was wondering if anyone in this forum can help. The function fnValueFromTagPath is the function I am looking to either create or use from existing library. I would greatly appreciate it. Please see the attachment for additional detail. -Shawn

double click the master and the ECT60 and have a look what's shown in the tap online, state and log?

a few seconds later with google search... https://stackoverflow.com/a/61986234 SYS_TIME is definitely an ABB AC500 specific function, included in library SysInt_AC500_V10.lib.

Hi Jinlee, how are you? I have similar application requirements on my project. I have tried dynamic mapping, but the code cannot detect the IO module change when I did hot switch. Do you find the way of how to identify the module change dynamicly? Thanks.

Hello all, Can someone point me to the OMAC PackML State Machine library documentation, I can't find any description of the block functionality ? I was looking into https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/libs/index.html but there's no PackML there. I'm new to Codesys and don't know if I'm doing something wrong here ? In library tab in codesys whenever I want to see documentation I'm getting an error. Regards Bart
