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.

Because codesys dont has a draw command like Circle in Qbasic ( 20 years ago ) i want to draw 1000 nails, and then move them in the screen when they needed. I dont know if codesys can handle this. But is ther an easy way to draw 1000 nails with every single one has a pointer for movement, color and invisable. Of is there a linux command to draw a circle so i can do it with a process command

for me looks like you do not use latest CODESYS IDE version, there is a known bug if you use a newer runtime your are forced to use a more complex password as user for the login. The old IDE version does not show this problem on login. so either update CODESYS or use a pw which meet the complexity requirements.

Updated the Codesys Safety SIL2 package from v3.5.18.1 to v3.5.22.10 Codesys Version 64 3.5.18.0 After the update the assignment of variables from different VarGlobal lists was unstable. Selecting one group could cause another group to be deselected after code generation. I was unable to perform a compilation were all variables maintained the selection after code generation. Rolled back to the older version and the issue seem to be mostly solved.

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.

You need to start the application, see the "start" option at the top left (next to close simulation).

To search for an exact phrase, put it in quotes. Example: "getting started docs"
To exclude a word or phrase, put a dash in front of it. Example: docs -help
To search on specific fields, use these field names instead of a general text search. You can group with AND or OR.
