Post by yongchaow on Can't connect to Device Raspberry Pi 4 from CODESYS IDE V3.5 SP19 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, eschwellinger, I have the same problem, but I can not resolve the problem following this forum. There are my situation: pi@RevPiXXXX:~ $ uname -a Linux RevPiXXXX 5.10.120-rt70-v7l #1 SMP PREEMPT_RT Thu, 28 Jul 2022 10:36:48 +0200 armv7l GNU/Linux After "top": It looks like runtime is not running. One more piece of information to refer to, when I reboot the device it is possible to scan the device. Looking forward your reply.

there is a new problem with latest bootloader version. The problem seems to be: Version from2024-04-20 does not work-> 2024-01-15 version works the workaround is a rollback to January version: cp /lib/firmware/raspberrypi/bootloader-2712/stable/pieeprom-2024-01-15.bin ./pieeprom.bin rpi-eeprom-config pieeprom.bin > bootconf.txt rpi-eeprom-config --out pieeprom-new.bin --config bootconf.txt pieeprom.bin sudo rpi-eeprom-update -d -f ./pieeprom-new.bin sudo reboot

Post by timvh on Codesys SVN ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
If you use 3.5 SP10, then Git is not supported. SVN will work fine, but with this version you do need a USB key, because software licenses are not supported with this version. Off course you can work without SVN (or Git), but especially if you work with multiple developers on one project, it will save you a lot of time and you can keep track of all changes and improvements much easier. So how much is this worth to you?

Post by mgengler on Recipe Manager - Not Creating Recipe Files ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Recipe Manager will load windows explorer view and allow file name to be typed in or existing file selected but will not create a new file or overwrite an existing. Will not create a file in the default folder or even a defined folder like "c:\recipes\" although it does properly navigate to that folder location. I made sure the folder is not read-only. Can't figure out what is missing...

Post by hjohnson123 on Automatically selecting a visualization element ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I'm looking to automatically select a text field element in my visualization. I'm not sure if this is possible, as I don't know how to get the data on specific elements. I am wanting automatic selection of the text field, as I am using a keyboard-input barcode scanner, which should always input the barcode into the text field whenever a barcode is scanned. Does anyone know if this can be done?

Post by robpqs on Visual error with cut/shredded texts ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, This is an old topic but it might help. This can/should be solved by either of the solution below 1. disabling the "Support client animations and overlay of native elements" option in the visualization Manager (which is handy) 2. disabling the "Hardware acceleration" of the browser. Saw it happening on some clients/PC and on other it works fine with the same webvisu... (Version 3.5.19.20 with visu package 4.4.0.0) Hopefully it will be fixed it in a next release. I haven't tested the 4.5.0.0 visu packages yet. RP,

Post by ph0010421 on General question about library versions ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello I can't find anything to read on the subject so I'll ask here. Up to now, when adding a (for example) Modbus Master, I've selected the version <= the RT version, so if I'm using SP13 Patch 3, I can use a library that doesn't exceed this. I've no idea if this is correct, but it's always worked. Can someone explain the 4.x.x.x libraries that have appeared; are they tied to a RT version? The controller I use is now at SP18Patch60, so should I continue to use 3.5.xxx or change? thanks

Post by tba123 on Script engine, git checkout, Project Environment ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, I clone a git repository with VersionUpdateFlags.SilentMode, works fine But now I want to checkout a specific commit (with branch_copy command). When using the branch_copy command there is no VersionUpdateFlags and I get this annoying "Project Environment" prompt, blocking further execution of my script without user input. I already tried something like system.prompt_answers[???] = PromptResult.Cancel but I don´t know the string I need here.. The goal is to have a script that clones a repository and compiles every tag + create compiled libraries.

Post by installwhat on C0077 on one machine but not another ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/Engineering/thread/92c913bf7c/ Solved by changing the ethercat master version after reading the thread linked above. I think I need to read up on why this happened. I understand that placeholders should point to a particular version for obvious reasons however what has occurred in this instance is different. The example project was released as a "project archive" but it seems to load differently based on what I've got installed in my repositories. I'm going to dig into that tomorrow but any advice is welcome.

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>

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 bertus on Axis directions in CNC editor not using right-hand rule? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, Coming from robotics, I'm used to coordinate systems using the right-hand rule. But when I created below small NC program in the Codesys CNC editor, I noticed that the axis triad's Z-axis is flipped (see attached screenshot), resulting in left-hand rule. Is there a setting to change this? Or am I misunderstanding something in the CNC world? N000 G00 X0 Y0 N010 G01 X100 N020 G01 Y50 N030 G01 X0 N040 G01 Y0 N050 G01 Z25

Post by gseidel on Axis directions in CNC editor not using right-hand rule? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi bertus, the coordinate systems used in SoftMotion CNC are all right-handed. The CNC editor uses isometric projection. This can be confusing, as in your example. The y-axis seems to point into the screen, away from the viewer. However, this is just an optical effect. If you turn on the (experimental) perspective projection (must be added to the CNC tool bar using tools->customize), you can see that the coordinate system is in fact right-handed. Best regards, Georg

Post by sheberle on ERROR: Calling the program "AlarmStorage_Prg" is not allowed from multiple tasks ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Do you have any additional information about when the error occurs? I am trying to recreate this issue to find a workaround... Maybe you could also make the project available. You could add the following logfilter to the CODESYS configuration file: [CmpLog] Logger.0.Filter=0xFFFFFFFF Logger.0.Enable=1 Logger.0.MaxEntries=10000 Logger.0.MaxFileSize=1000000 SysSem.Filter=0xFFFFFFFF SysTask.Filter=0xFFFFFFFF I hope that the log filter will show us which task is responsible for this, so we can narrow it down a bit more.
