Hello! I am interested in the Modbus Slave channel parameter uiReadLength to use in the ST-program (see picture). How to read the value of uiReadLength in a ST-program? Only Edwin the Great and Terrible can answer this question.

Hi there, I am having a similar problem like you. I have 3 screens connected to one PLC. I have set 3 different URLs for them. But 3 of them are still dependent to each other. How can I make them independently ? Kind regards, Jin.

Have you cross referenced the variable to see if it is being written some where else? You could try an Execute block instead of a Move.

Post by fcmtw on SDO generation ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Thanks for the answer. So yes I've enabled expert settings, and yes i've added some SDOs, but some of them who are generated are likely making a mess in the network and generated error with my device... From which library comes those 2 function blocks ?

I put the cross reference at the bottom of the pictures. It is not being written to elsewhere. I have tried the execute block too.

I have the same error. It appears to be something in my project. An older version of the same project from a few days ago is fine.

Thanks for the update, Since you can't double click is there another way to enter the FB when online and see the running code of that instance? When can we expect to see v1.0?

Hello @eschwellinger, I installed the newer version of the installer, however the issue persisted. Do I need to do anything else other than updating the installer? Thanks for your help.

Post by wbj0t on System libs and I/O Drivers ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi everyone. My question about: where I can learn (read or watch) an info about codesys workflow through the system IO libs? I want to know how to implement I/O drivers by my self. In the system libs I see many interfaces, methods etc... But there is no explanation about them, just names of methods and fields of the FBs. I know about this page: https://forge.codesys.com/drv/io-drivers/doc/Generic/ There is so BIG the device description file and not so clear explaining of the attributes and elements, also some elements or attributes missed at it all. Yes, there are code examples on this page, but, so shortly and, for example, code about Modbus drivers is absent. And even if I try to add the IoDrvFB with lib, I get and error, something like: "failed to load IoDrvFB driver". And what about the book of codesys that written by Gary Pratt? Is there information about system libs and drivers in this book more clearly? Thank you :)

Post by mondinmr on Direct Pointers in IOMapping for EtherCAT with IoDrvEthercatLib.ETCSlave_Dia ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I have found a very interesting solution using: IoConfigTaskMap IoConfigConnectorMap IoConfigChannelMap The first is the list of IO tasks. The second is the connector for each IO module in the IOMap. The third is the individual input or output on the IOMap. One of the properties of the connector is another pointer to a connector, which corresponds with the connector of the EtherCAT slave. Through this information, it is possible to understand to which EtherCAT slave an IO connectormap corresponds. I am attaching an FB that allows for the construction of an IO map and finding the pointer to the actual IOs in the IOMap based on the bitoffset.

Are you using Bookworm and which Rasperry PI? Check the logfile with ssh connection tail -f /var/opt/codesys/codesyscontrol.log It should work with 4.11.0.0 release. Just use the ABL licenses - (check the license metrix of your application)
