Post by stiller on OPC UA RPI 4.8.0.0 Status Code / "out of range" ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I have an OPC-UA server with an information model. For many values, there is a defined range (e.g., 0 to 100). If a client enters a value outside this range (e.g., 120), the StatusCode should change to Bad. How can I accomplish this? Any help is appreciated! Thank you in advance. Best regards, Christian Stiller

Post by tk096 on gear over gear (2 masters,1 slave) - how to do it? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, you could calculate the position/dynamics of the slave axis yourself and use one of the function blocks SMC_FollowPosition/SMC_FollowSetValues to move the slave axis. https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/libs/SM3_Basic/Current/SM3_Basic/POUs/Movement/Direct/SMC_FollowPosition.html https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/libs/SM3_Basic/Current/SM3_Basic/POUs/Movement/Direct/SMC_FollowSetValues.html

I have a Codesys environment running and would like to inject code into the running environment at the same time using a code generator with Python via the console. So far I can only start a new Codesys instance with Python, but not access an already running one. How can I access the running Codesys instance?

What does this message mean, in the Errors/Messages box? "[ERROR] MyProjectName: No Offline Help installed" In CDS23, I used to be able to select a system function with the mouse, and press F1. Help and description would popup. How do I get so-called On-line Help installed?

Hi all. I'm pretty new to codesys. Maybe a few months. I've had on and off issues here and there. This issue I cant figure out. The top line is one of 2 that I had. The other one has mysteriously left. the 2nd and 3rd showed up after I restarted the program. I'm not sure how to take care of them. Please help!

Hello, I have been using CODESYS for a while and after updating to version 3.5.18.50 the code randomly stops with this fault. Why is that ? I have tried to locate the fault in the Call Stack but I dont know what to do now... I have updated the projects properly for the version I am using. This fault started happening after like 14 days of using the new version of CODESYS.

Post by k4zz on Continuous Build Server ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hallo Martin, Thank you so much for the Code example. It works really fine for .porject Types. However, I encountered a challenge when attempting to apply it to .library Types. I also tried the option to "Perform static analysis automatically after compilation" # get Project values myProject = projects.primary # Creates an active application app = myProject.active_application # build Application and run static code analysis app.generate_code() Could you please offer any insights into why this might be occurring?

Post by ofey on EtherCAT fieldbus ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Okey, thank you! Do you think it is something in this library, that makes it possible to do the configuration in a PRG? https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/libs/IODrvEtherCATDriver/Current/IoDrvEtherCAT.html#id1 I think the codesys modbus libraries support configuration and connection to modbus slaves without having to add the slave devices in the device tree. Just do it from function blocks inside the program. I was hoping for something similar with EtherCAT.

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

Post by andre-luis on Check if Codesys runtime is on 'Running' or 'Stopped' state? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi there, I'm running the Codesys runtime on Windows 64 and I need to know if it is on "Running" or "Stopped" state just after a system crash. The following commands works perfectly well to (re)start it... net stop “CODESYS Control Win V3 - x64" net start “CODESYS Control Win V3 - x64" ...however I'm unable to determine when it is required to be call; I mean, by checking the System Tray icon, it is possible to know if it is on "Stopped" state, but I wanted to run a .BAT command to retrieve it. How can we do that?

Post by yoeri on Refresh visulization realtime ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi everyone, I need some help with displaying an image (test.png) on my device. Initially, showing the image is straightforward. However, I want to be able to update the image dynamically. My goal is to send updated files via FTP to the device, and have the display automatically show the latest version of the image. All images will be sent with the same name (e.g., test.png). Currently, I can see the updated image after sending it via FTP and performing a warm restart, but I'd like to achieve this in runtime, without having to restart the display or application. Does anyone have suggestions on how to implement this? Thanks in advance!

Post by janderson on OPC UA Server limitations, large array crashes runtime ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
What are the limitations of the OPC UA Server? I am trying to get data off my PLC that is acquired at high rates (~50k samples/s) so I am storing them in arrays and trying to get the arrays off the PLC. When I attempt to read a ~200k element array through OPC UA the server and runtime crashes (requiring tools -> update linux arm64 -> start runtime). Is there a better way to get highspeed data off? The ACDatalog library seems a bit irritating to use so I would prefer to go through OPC UA.

Post by expertplas on No connection to opc server from codesys opc client ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, we have aproblen to connect our CODESYS OPC Client to the OPC Server. We installed the client according the CODESYS manual. We can browse the server and variables can be linked to the PLC. I created a self signed certificate for the CmpOPCUAClent as described. The server has a cerificate also. I copied the certificates to the trusted zone of server and client. But when it comes to data exchange we get an error message. "Communication error in data source OPC UA Library. Error ID : 7001 German : "Kommunikatinsfehler inder Datenquelle OPC UA -Bibiothek. Es wurde kein genauer Fehler angegeben. Fehler ID : 7001" It semms that there is no cerificate exchange. We are working with CODESYS 3.5 SP19 Patch 5. Can anyone here say something about this error or has an idea for a solution? Thanks.

Post by siscu on Raspberry i2c master device ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I want to implement an extended I2C master for Raspberry Pi Control. I was hoping for it to be as easy as creating a library with a FB that extends i2cMaster and associating it with a device following the forge drivers documentation, but I haven't managed to make it work as the driver behaves only as an i2c slave. I'm thinking this is because the forge forum only talks about extending i2c, and the master portion is omitted since most users won't want to add a custom one. I'd like to know if I'm doing something wrong. Is it really possible to make an I2C master extension device? If so, are there public examples we can check out? Any info on this topic will be appreciated.

Of course there is! =) just edit file/etc/ssh/sshd_config and restart ssh service. but you'll lose the possibility of runtime management through "update Linux", so there enother question - how to change default port in codesys it-self?
