Post by otbeka on CAA File Handling: "Read only" error

(Post)
Hi, On CODESYS V3.5.19.50 I am using the latest 3S File Access library (CAA File & CAA Types) to save and retrieve configuration data from the User Data section of an SD card, via file called config.txt. The application reads the file to memory once upon initialisation, and then the only other operation is overwriting the file with the updated configuration whenever the user changes the settings. An issue is ocurring, seemingly randomly, where the config.txt file, and all surrounding directories, cannot be written to by the unit, returning a READ_ONLY_CAA error upon file open. This sometimes does not clear even after power-cycling the PLC several times, yet checking the file permissions with ls -l shows normal read, write, and execute access. I am wondering if this is caused by the PLC itself or by an issue in my application. I have included my CAA File handler function block (SD_Card_Bin(FB).txt) and any associated types/calls below: TYPE ConfigData : STRUCT Config : ARRAY[0..256] OF STRING(64); NumberOfStrings : UDINT; END_STRUCT END_TYPE TYPE Buffer : STRUCT Data : ARRAY[0..SIZEOF(ConfigData)] OF BYTE; DataLength : UDINT; END_STRUCT END_TYPE A case within my MAIN PRG: mode.WriteConfigDataToFile: VisuElems.CURRENTVISU := 'Screen_Write'; IF xModeHasChanged THEN iErrorCount := 0; iRoute := 0; END_IF CASE iRoute OF 0: inBuffer := ConfigData_To_Buffer(GVL.UnitData); xConfigError := FALSE; xDataConfigured := FALSE; iRoute := 1; 1 : //Read Data from Card SD_Card_Bin.strFileName :=FileName; SD_Card_Bin.iFileOperation := 2; SD_Card_Bin(xExecute :=TRUE, WriteBuffer := inBuffer, xDone =>xDataConfigured, xError=>xConfigError, strErrorCodes=>strError); IF xDataConfigured THEN SD_Card_Bin(xExecute :=FALSE); IF xConfigError THEN iRoute := 32767; ELSE iRoute :=100; END_IF END_IF 100: // The end bCurMode := mode.DisplayProcessVariables; 32767: // Config error iErrorCount := iErrorCount + 1; IF iErrorCount > 2 THEN // Repeats 3 times, if no progress abandons and returns error bCurMode := mode.WriteError; ELSE iRoute := 0; // Try again END_IF END_CASE I'd like to rule out my application as the cause of this bug - help via comments or criticism would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: Solution: CODESYS Freezes Linked to Large Symbol Configuration (OPC UA) Hello everyone, I was experiencing the same problem as many here: CODESYS (v3.5 SP20+) freezing during compilation and download, especially on projects that use OPC UA for SCADA. The only workaround was to run Build > Clean all before every download. I believe I have found the root cause and a permanent solution. The Problem: The issue is directly related to a large Symbol Configuration. In my project, I only need about 700 tags for OPC UA, but the Symbol Configuration list was showing over 250,000 tags. This is because it automatically includes all variables from Global Variable Lists (GVLs) and other memory areas. When any static variable is changed, the IDE tries to rebuild this enormous list, causing it to freeze for several minutes. The Solution: Instead of letting CODESYS export every variable by default, you can use a pragma to tell it which variables or GVLs to exclude from the symbol export process. Place the following pragma at the top of any GVL or data structure that you do not want to be part of the symbol configuration: 1 {attribute 'symbol' := 'none'} 2 VAR_GLOBAL 3 // All variables in this GVL will now be excluded from the 4 // Symbol Configuration by default. 5 InternalVariable1 : INT; 6 InternalVariable2 : BOOL; 7 END_VAR After adding this pragma to all the GVLs that were not needed for OPC UA, the number of tags in my Symbol Configuration dropped to the correct amount. The compilation and download process is now fast again, with no freezing. This method is much more efficient than manually managing the symbol list in the editor. I hope this helps others who are facing this frustrating issue. Best regards.

Post by westcountryewe on ac_persistence not working when creating a Boot Application but works with a Direct Download to the PLC

I am using V3.5 SP18 Patch 5. I have noticed that when I Create a Boot Application from CODESYS, and upload this to my PLC via a USB stick the AC_Persistence does not work and none of my values that are in my PersistenceChannel are retained. However, if I connect direct to my PLC and I perform a direct download of my CODESYS program, my values that are in my PersistenceChannel are retained and work as they should. This makes me wonder if there are files that are missing when a Boot Application is created. I have tried taking a backup of my configuration files after performing a direct download, which gives me the plclog.zip folder, and appears to have the ac_persistence folder present within the file structure, however when I replace the plclogic.zip with the same folder that was created when I created a Boot Application, it still does not work but I wonder whether this is because the ac_persistence folder isn't stored in the correct location for reading. The .app and .crc files are embedded within the plclogic.zip folder, which obviously when uploading need to be standalone files in the root directory of the USB, so the intention there is clearly to extract the .app and .crc files and put them into the correct location within the USB. I wonder if it could be the same for the ac_persistence folder? I have tried moving it to different locations but none have worked. Has anybody else discovered a fix for this? I know the short-term solution is to do a direct download to the PLC but there are some logistical reasons why this isn't neccesarily the best solution for us.

Since version 19 they changed how file access is handle. There are two solutions: 1. You change where the file is stored (need to go to: /PlcLogic/) 2. You can, if you don“t want to store at PlcLogic, add the following line in the CODESYSControl.cfg under [SysFile]: ForceIecFilePath=0 The CodesysControl.cfg is at C:\ProgramData\CODESYS\CODESYSControlWinV3x64\xxPROJECT_NUMBERxx\ Here the email they sent me: "with the 3.5.19 Version we changed how files are handled. See following issue: CDS-81506 - CODESYS Control SysFile system file access vulnerability. There are two solutions: 1. You change where the file is stored (need to go to: /PlcLogic/) 2. You can, if you don“t want to store at PlcLogic, add the following line in the CODESYSControl.cfg under [SysFile]: ForceIecFilePath=0 Here is the official release-note: [[COMPATIBILITY_INFORMATION]] With the activation of ForceIecFilePath the file access from IEC is now restricted to the configured paths only (file sandbox)! [SysFile] ForceIecFilePath=1 (new default) The standard path is the current directory, the PlcLogic subfolder or a configured path. Every file access outside of this path is configured via PlaceholderFilePath, for example access to temporary files or removable media: [SysFile] PlaceholderFilePath.1=/tmp, $TMP$ PlaceholderFilePath.2=/media/usb, $USB$ PlaceholderFilePath.2.Volatile=1 For more information see our tutorial FilePath & Placeholders. To restore the old behavior ForceIecFilePath may be configured as follows: [SysFile] ForceIecFilePath=0 BUT WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO LEAVE THIS SETTING AT ITS NEW DEFAULT VALUE! "

Hello, Iām working on implementing Modbus RTU communication with a Carel controller (CPCO). I want to use the front RS485 interface through the DB9 connector. The issue is that I canāt get the communication working correctly. Below are the steps Iāve done so far: Connected pins 3 and 8 from the DB9 connector to the +/- RX/TX terminals on the Carel side. In the PLC shell, I set serialmode to RS485. In WBM under Administration > Serial Interface > Assign owner of serial interface, I set the port to unassigned. In the device tree, I created Modbus_COM with the following settings: COM port: 1 Baud rate: 19200 Parity: None Stop bits: 1 Created a Modbus client on this COM interface in RTU mode. Under the status tab, I can see it is in running state. On the client, I created a Modbus server and set the Modbus address of my unit to 1. Defined a few channels as FC03 to read holding registers according to the Carel register map. I checked the communication with the Carel controller using a USB-to-RS485 converter connected to my PC, and communication works correctly there. In the status tab, I can see that the Modbus server is polling, but there is no response from the controller. I also tried multiple times swapping A/B lines on the Carel side, but it did not help. Do you have any suggestions on what else I should check?

Internal compiler error in SP22.x (expLValue null) ā SP21 unaffected ā need help isolating root cause I'm hitting the same internal compiler crash reported here. Same exact stack trace (AssignmentStatementReplacer ā CreateAssignmentExpression ā ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: expLValue), but in my case triggered by a self-written library, not a Visualization object ā so this looks like a general SP22.x codegen regression rather than something tied to one specific language feature. What I've confirmed: Reverting to SP21 ā no issue, builds clean SP22.x ā internal compiler crash during Build > Application, code generation phase, with zero useful location info (no POU, no line number) check_for_errors/precompile-only passes cleanly; the crash only happens on a real full build, meaning static analysis never sees it coming What I've tried to isolate the cause (without success): Removed a suspected pattern involving a VAR_IN_OUT parameter used directly as a FOR-loop control variable, combined with early RETURN inside the loop ā crash persisted identically afterward Confirmed no Visualization Manager or similar object in the project (ruling out the trigger in the linked report) Used an AI coding assistant (Claude Code) to search for other suspicious patterns ā no luck pinpointing the exact statement Question @codesys-com Since the compiler gives no location info at all, is there any way to get more diagnostic output from the SP22.x codegen phase (verbose/debug build flags, log level settings, etc.)? Without that, isolating this in a large library means blind bisection ā cutting the codebase in half repeatedly until the crash disappears, which is slow and error-prone without official tooling support. Happy to share the affected project or a minimal repro if that helps CODESYS engineering track it down.

Hi Everyone, For a fast monitoring system I am using Ethercat oversampling and timestamping inputs. As the customers has a lot of different configurations out in the field, we went for a dynamic Ethercat configuration. Already got the whole detection chain working but now I am stuck since two days in debugging the configuration. Here are my quesitons: I extended the dynamic config example for the EL3632 16#0E303052: //EL3632 pSlave^.SetDCSettings(TRUE,TRUE,80,80,TRUE,4000,0,0); pSlave^.AddSyncManager(16#1000,128,16#26,TRUE,3); pSlave^.AddSyncManager(16#1080,128,16#22,TRUE,2); pSlave^.AddSyncManager(16#1100,0,16#4,TRUE,1); pSlave^.AddSyncManager(16#1110,214,16#20,TRUE,0); pSlave^.AddFMMU(0,214,0,7,16#1110,0,1,1); pSlave^.AddFMMU(0,1,0,0,16#80D,0,1,1); xKnown := TRUE; This leads to a PLL Error for these devices. I double and triple checked the configuraton, but cannot find the issue. There seems to be one difference: the config dialog creates a startup parameter: 16#10F3:16#05, Name: Command_0, Value:0. Bitlen: 16, Stop on fault: false, jumpt at fault: false: next line: 0 a) I do not find information on how to set this in my code. Can you help me there? b) Without trying to set the value, I get a PLL error for these devices in the master log. Is the config wrong? c) Do I need to set the Master to Autoconfigure or Manual? I used autoconfigure for my tests. The stack creates input data addresses for the slaves input data range (pSlaves[i].InputData) which are different from those created when I use the Engineering tools dialogs to configure Ethercat. Specifically, the addresses seem to be aligned at 16 byte boundaries when they are created using the engineering tool, but may appear at uneven addresses when I use the script in dynamic config. I did not try to access ULINT at uneven addresses yet, but I am suspecting this may be a problem. Do I need to manually align the addresses ? Any help is appreciated...

Hello, I got a device from which I require to read values from I am using a WAGO PLC 750-8212 and I am communicating through Modbus Master FUNCTION BLOCK from library WagoAppPLCModbus in Codesys 3.5 to this device. I already receive data from the device that is a CVM to monitor voltage from a fuel cell. The technical support of the company that makes these devices says that the data is sent in little endian form. And I want to convert it to a float value. The tech support sent me the next instructions of how to do it but I am new using codesys, so any advice or help I will really appreciate so much. Message from tech support: The process is complicated, better to do it with already implemented library in the language/program you use. Basically the process should be next: To convert the two Modbus registers containing parts of a 32-bit float in little-endian byte order to a floating-point number using mathematical operations, you first need to combine the two 16-bit integers (assuming reg1 is the lower word and reg2 is the higher word) and then interpret the result according to the IEEE 754 standard. Given: - Register 192 (reg1) = 4096 - Register 193 (reg2) = 14884 Step 1: Combine the two registers. Since we are dealing with little-endian byte order, reg2 is the high word, and reg1 is the low word: combined = reg2 * 2^16 + reg1 combined = 14884 * 65536 + 4096 combined = 975175680 + 4096 combined = 975179776 Step 2: Convert the combined value to binary: combined_binary = '1110101101011100000000000000000' Step 3: Split the binary into IEEE 754 components: Sign bit (1 bit): 0 Exponent (8 bits): 11101011 Mantissa (23 bits): 01011100000000000000000 Step 4: Convert the binary exponent to decimal and subtract the bias (127 for 32-bit floats): exponent = int('11101011', 2) - 127 exponent = 235 - 127 exponent = 108 Step 5: Calculate the mantissa as a fraction: The mantissa in IEEE 754 format is the fractional part after the leading 1 (which is implicit). Therefore, we need to convert the binary mantissa to decimal and add the implicit leading 1: mantissa_fractional = 1 + int('01011100000000000000000', 2) / 2^23 mantissa_fractional = 1 + 18688 / 8388608 mantissa_fractional = 1 + 0.002227783203125 mantissa_fractional ā 1.002227783203125 Step 6: Combine the sign, exponent, and mantissa to get the float value: float_value = (-1)^0 * mantissa_fractional * 2^exponent float_value = 1 * 1.002227783203125 * 2^108 Because the exponent is quite large, the resulting float value is a very large number.

Hi, I am trying to load a test application into a DSE M840-001-02 display, but after reboot the device still shows: āNo application loadedā I would like to understand whether the problem is in my project, the package creation process, or firmware/runtime compatibility. Hardware Device: DSE M840-001-02 Firmware used: M840 MKII Firmware File v4.1.2 Software CODESYS V3.5 SP12 (32-bit) DSE CODESYS Package v1.5.44 DSEServiceTool What I did Created a new empty Standard Project Selected target/template: M840-02 V4.1 Used a minimal ST program only: PROGRAM PLC_PRG VAR xAlive : BOOL := TRUE; END_VAR Confirmed: project builds PLC_PRG is assigned to MainTask created Boot Application Generated CodesysApp.pkg Put the M840 into bootloader mode Sent the package using DSEServiceTool DSEServiceTool result Transfer completes successfully and I get: connection accepted 100% download package ACK <status>OK</status> ** Example log:** Searching for controllers.... sendPackageToController: waiting for incoming data connection... sendPackageToController: connection accepted... <status>Downloading</status> <percent>20</percent> <percent>40</percent> <percent>90</percent> <percent>100</percent> sendPackageToController: sent 112cb8 bytes OK Package ...\CodesysApp.pkg transferred to controller c0a80101 OK sendPackageToController: package ACK <status>OK</status> Actual result After reboot, the display still shows: āNo application loadedā Additional issue I also saw earlier At one stage I also had these fatal errors in CODESYS: [FATAL ERROR] Unresolved reference: 'IOMGRLOCKENTER' [FATAL ERROR] Unresolved reference: 'IOMGRLOCKLEAVE' I checked library versions and adjusted them to: IoDrvBase = 3.5.5.0 IoStandard = 3.5.10.0 Also, I am using CODESYS SP12, which I understand is the correct version for DSE M840. My questions If DSEServiceTool shows Status OK and package ACK, but the device still says āNo application loadedā, does that mean: the .pkg was transferred but not accepted as a valid application? the package was built incorrectly? the boot application / runtime / firmware versions are still mismatched? What is the correct procedure to generate CodesysApp.pkg for M840-02 V4.1? Is there any known compatibility issue between: DSE CODESYS Package 1.5.44 M840 MKII Firmware 4.1.2 CODESYS 3.5 SP12 Has anyone successfully loaded even a minimal empty test project into M840-001-02, and if so, what exact versions/process did you use? Any help would be appreciated.

You can program the triggering of a reconnect." Is RDCY.Synchronize() the correct function to add to our application for automatic recovery after both PLCs go standalone? What is preventing auto-recovery when AutoSync is enabled and PlcIdent is correctly set? Thank you for your support.

Post by baltzer on ICertificateVerifier.VerifyCertificate doesn't appear to override an ERR_CERT_HAS_EXPIRED rejection in TCP_Client.Upgrade()
CODESYS Forge
talk
(Post)
Setup: Net Base Services (NBS), TCP_Client + TLSContext, ePurpose := CLIENT_SIDE, connecting to a third-party embedded device (Velux KLF200 home automation gateway) whose factory-installed TLS certificate expired on 2026-07-12 and has no user-facing renewal path. Tested on both CODESYS Control for Raspberry Pi SL (3.5.19.0) and CODESYS Control Win V3 x64, with identical results on both. Goal: Accept the peer's expired certificate via a custom ICertificateVerifier implementation, since the certificate itself can never be replaced. Implementation: FUNCTION_BLOCK FB_MyCertVerifier IMPLEMENTS NBS.ICertificateVerifier VAR udiCallCount : UDINT; aeCurStateLog : ARRAY[0..9] OF NBS.RTS_IEC_RESULT; END_VAR METHOD VerifyCertificate : UDINT VAR_INPUT hCert : NBS.RTS_IEC_HANDLE; eCurState : NBS.RTS_IEC_RESULT; END_VAR IF udiCallCount < 10 THEN aeCurStateLog[udiCallCount] := eCurState; END_IF udiCallCount := udiCallCount + 1; VerifyCertificate := 0; // also tried: VerifyCertificate := eCurState; Wired in via tlsContext.itfCertVerifer := certVerifier at declaration time, alongside itfTLSContext := tlsContext set at TCP_Client's own declaration (per an earlier forum thread here on ensuring inline start-values on FB-typed variables are actually honored when nested one level deep - that fix was needed and worked correctly for getting the handshake to start at all). Observed: - VerifyCertificate is confirmed called exactly once per connection attempt (via the call counter above). - eCurState passed in = 0x709 = ERR_CERT_HAS_EXPIRED - correctly reflecting the actual state of the peer's certificate. - Packet capture confirms the full TLS 1.2 handshake completes correctly at the wire level: ClientHello -> ServerHello -> Certificate -> ServerKeyExchange -> ServerHelloDone -> our ClientKeyExchange/ChangeCipherSpec/Finished -> server's ChangeCipherSpec/Finished. Both sides successfully complete the cryptographic handshake. - Despite this, TCP_Client.Upgrade() subsequently returns NBS.ERROR.CONNECTION_ERROR, and the connection is torn down with a plain TCP FIN (not a TLS alert) roughly 7-8ms after our side ACKs the server's Finished message. - TCP_Client.eErrorID (inherited from LCon) remains NO_ERROR throughout - the failure is only visible via Upgrade()'s return value. - Returning 0 (ERR_OK/ERR_CERT_OK - confirmed via the CmpErrors2 Interfaces documentation that these are literally the same value) makes no difference. - Echoing eCurState back unchanged (on the theory that this callback might work like mbedTLS's native verify callback, where the incoming state is a flags value to be cleared/modified and returned, rather than paired with a separate fixed "accept" sentinel) also makes no difference. - Identical result across udiVerificationMode := 0, 1, and 2. - Importing the peer's certificate into the runtime's trusted certificate store via cert-import trusted makes no difference either. - With itfCertVerifer left at its default (no custom verifier) and udiVerificationMode := 2, the underlying engine sends its own fatal TLS alert (handshake_failure) immediately after receiving the peer's Certificate message - suggesting built-in validation may reject at the record layer independent of whether a custom verifier is even present. Questions: 1. Is there an additional step required for a custom ICertificateVerifier to actually override an ERR_CERT_HAS_EXPIRED (or more generally, any ERR_CERT_*) rejection, or is certificate validation enforced unconditionally for a CLIENT_SIDE TLSContext regardless of what the verifier returns? 2. Is 0/ERR_OK genuinely the correct "accept" return value for VerifyCertificate, or does it expect something else (a specific bit pattern, a different constant, a value that must be computed from hCert itself)? 3. Is there a supported way to connect to a peer presenting a certificate that is both self-signed and expired, short of the peer issuing a new certificate? Happy to share the full packet captures or additional test combinations if useful. Also worth noting for anyone finding this thread later: a maintained Node-RED library for this same device (node-red-contrib-velux-klf200, forked to handle this exact expired-certificate situation) solves it by disabling built-in TLS validation entirely (rejectUnauthorized: false) and doing fingerprint-based pinning by hand after the handshake completes, rather than relying on a validation callback - which may be the more realistic approach here too if ICertificateVerifier genuinely can't override this class of rejection. Thanks in advance /JĆørgen Disclosure: most of the CODESYS code and this investigation was developed with the help of Claude (Anthropic's AI assistant) - the state machine design, SLIP/checksum implementation, and debugging methodology (including the packet capture analysis) were worked through in an extended back-and-forth with it. Posting here because we've run out of self-serviceable options and this now looks like it needs input from someone with visibility into NBS's actual implementation.

SUMMARIZED VERSION OF QUESTION: I'm trying to connect a Raspberry Pi running "Codesys Control for Raspberry Pi" to a Beckhoff EK1100, unfortunately, when I try to connect I get the following messages SEE FIRST PICTURE DETAILED VERSION OF QUESTION: Hi everyone, I'm a college student that is super interested in learning about PLCs. I wanted to dive into the subject and decided to follow this great Instructables article: https://www.instructables.com/Programming-Raspberry-Pi-With-CODESYS/ Thank you in advance for your help! My current setup is as follows: 1. I have Codesys Control for Raspberry Pi, version 4.14.0.0, (https://store.codesys.com/en/codesys-control-for-raspberry-pi-sl.html) installed on a Raspberry Pi 3B. 2. I am using my smartphone hotspot to create a network. 3. I have CODESYS 3.5 SP21 (64 bit) installed on my Windows 11 laptop. 4. Both the Raspberry Pi and my laptop are connected to the smartphone hotspot network (I am wirelessly connecting to the Raspberry Pi). Connecting to the Raspberry Pi from CODESYS on my laptop: 1. I launch Codesys Installer -> I install Codesys Control for Raspberry Pi (link to the software). 2. I launch Codesys 3.5 SP21 (64 bit) on my laptop. 3. I go to file --> new project --> standard project --> in the pop-up I select "Codesys Control for Raspberry Pi" and "Structured Text" 4. I click on tools -> Deploy Control SL (on older versions of Codesys you would click on "update Raspberry Pi", I got that information from this video: link) 5. Inside Deploy Control SL --> I go to the "communication" menu and I input the IP address of my Pi, the password, and click on connect. 6. Inside Deploy Control SL --> I go to the "deployment" menu and I install Codesys Control for Raspberry Pi SL and Codesys Edge Gateway for Linux 7. Now I double click on "device" in the left hand tree and put in the IP address of my Raspberry Pi and click on connect --> success! I am able to connect! SEE SECOND PICTURE Powering the EK1100 and connecting it to the Raspberry Pi: 1. I am supplying the EK1100 with 24 V across the + and - pins. 2. I have jumper wires going from the + pin to the 24V pin and from the - pin to the 0V pin. SEE THIRD PICTURE 4. I am pretty confident that the EK1100 is receiving power because the "LED Us 24 V" and "LED Up 24 V" are lighting up. 5. I then run an ethernet cable from the EK1100 to the Raspberry Pi port (the Raspberry Pi is connected to my laptop wirelessly over WiFi). I think this connection should also be good since the LINK/ACT LED lights up. Trying to connect to the EK1100: 1. Back in Codesys I right-click on "Device" in the left tree and then in the pop up I click on "add device". 2. I then click on EtherCAT Master. 3. Next in a terminal window I SSH into the raspberry Pi and run the "ifconfig" command. 4. From there I get the MAC address for eth0 --> in my case: b8:27:eb:29:a9:25 5. Then, back in Codesys I double click on "EtherCAT Master" in the left hand tree. I then paste the MAC address into the "Source Address (MAC)" field. 6. I go to the Beckhoff official website and download the XML files for EtherCAT: https://www.beckhoff.com/en-en/products/i-o/ethercat-terminals/ek1xxx-bk1xx0-ethercat-coupler/ek1100.html? 7. I unzip those files in my computer into some folder that I can remember. 8. Back in Codesys I click on "Tools" --> "Device Repository" --> "Install" --> and then on the "Beckhoff EK11xx.XML" file. 9. In theory the necessary XML file is now installed. 10. THIS IS WHERE I RUN INTO THE PROBLEM: I then click on login --> I right click on EtherCAT_Master and then scan for devices --> and nothing. 11. It just doesn't detect it. On top of this whenever I login I get those orange triangles on the left on my tree. When I check the Log I get the messages at the very first screenshot of this post. SEE FOURTH PICTURE Solutions that I have tried to resolve this problem: 1. I thought it was maybe the .XML file so I installed all the .XML files from the EtherCAT folder that I downloaded. That didn't fix it. 2. I went on the Wayback Machine and got the .XML files from 2018 as I thought maybe an older version would work. This file of EtherCAT folders had a .XML file named "Beckhoff EKxxxx.XML" I thought this would work because that's the name of the file the guy in the Instructables used (https://www.instructables.com/Programming-Raspberry-Pi-With-CODESYS/). That didn't do anything. 3. I ran the PLC on my computer instead of the Raspberry Pi and tried to connect to the EK1100, in case the issue was with the Raspberry Pi, but I still ran into the same error from the picture above: "Attention! The device was not found in the repository. Vendorcode: 0x0. Productcode: 0x0. Revision: 0x0". SEE FIFTH PICTURE 4. I reinstalled Codesys, I was originally on version 3.5 SP20 when I did this, I upgraded to 3.5 SP21 with no success. 5. I then thought the solution might be to first add the EK1100 hardware before connecting so I did the following: 6. Right click on "EtherCAT Master" on the left hand tree --> then click on "add device" --> then I added the "EK1100 EtherCAT Coupler (2A E-Bus)" MY THEORY OF WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM: I asked ChatGPT for help and it said that it might have something to do with the revision number. On the physical EK1100 it says "Rev. Nr.: 0018". I believe that this means that I need to a revision 0018 XML file but if you look in Codesys it says the version is 16 (picture above). This is confusing because I got my .XML file from the official Codesys website so it should be the most up to date version possible. I searched and I searched and I couldn't find a version 18 .XML file, I don't even now if this exists. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated, I don't know what to do anymore and I really really want to get this working. Thank you!

Post by clesio on CAA.File.Write ā Unexpected characters when writing a CSV file
CODESYS Forge
talk
(Post)
Hello everyone, I am trying to create a routine in CODESYS to export a report to a CSV file using the CAA.File library. The file is created successfully, but I am getting some unexpected/unknown characters in the generated CSV. The problem seems to be related to the SIZEOF() function. I am using it for the szSize parameter of File.Write, as recommended in the CODESYS documentation. However, when I use SIZEOF(), the CSV contains extra characters and parts of previous strings.

Hello everyone, I am trying to create a routine in CODESYS to export a report to a CSV file using the CAA.File library. The file is created successfully, but I am getting some unexpected/unknown characters in the generated CSV. The problem seems to be related to the SIZEOF() function. I am using it for the szSize parameter of File.Write, as recommended in the CODESYS documentation. However, when I use SIZEOF(), the CSV contains extra characters and parts of previous strings. I also tried using LEN(), but in my application the file is created empty, even though the string and the calculated length appear to be correct. Here is the relevant part of my code: PROGRAM Relatorio VAR // Bool b_Executa_fb_Cria_Arquivo : BOOL; b_Executa_fb_Fecha_Arquivo : BOOL; b_Escreve_dados : BOOL; b_Erro_fb_Escreve : BOOL; //STR s_Nome_Arquivo : STRING; s_Palavra : STRING; s_Palavra_Anterior : STRING; s_Data_Atualizada_Formatada : STRING; s_Dia : STRING; s_Mes : STRING; s_Ano : STRING; s_Hora_Atualizada_Formatada : STRING; s_Hora : STRING; s_Minu : STRING; s_Segu : STRING; //INT i_modo_fb_Cria_Arquivo : INT; i_ErroID_fb_Escreve : INT; //UINT i_Tamanho_Palavra : UINT; // Blocos de Funcao fb_Cria_Arquivo : FILE.Open; fb_Fecha_Arquivo : FILE.Close; fb_Escreve : FILE.Write; // DATA E HORA sc_DataTime : SysTimeRtc.RTS_SYSTIMEDATE; // STRUCT = sc uidResultRtcGet : UDINT; //stGetDate : SysTimeRtc.RTS_SYSTIMEDATE; uidResultConvertToDate : UDINT; uidResult : RTS_IEC_RESULT; END_VAR VAR_INPUT //BOOL b_SET_Executa_fb_Cria_Arquivo : BOOL; b_RES_Executa_fb_Cria_Arquivo : BOOL; b_Executa_fb_Escrita : BOOL; // INT i_Linhas_Cabecalho : INT; i_Linhas_Cabecalho_Anterior : INT; END_VAR // Para Testes s_Nome_Arquivo := 'relatorio/Teste1M.CSV'; i_modo_fb_Cria_Arquivo := 0; // TRATAMENTO DE DATOS DATA e HORA uidResultRtcGet := SysTimeRtcGet(uidResult); uidResultConvertToDate := SysTimeRtcConvertUtcToDate(dwTimestampUtc := uidResultRtcGet, pDate := sc_DataTime); // FORMATA DATA EM UMA STRING s_Dia := UINT_TO_STRING(sc_DataTime.wDay); s_Mes := UINT_TO_STRING(sc_DataTime.wMonth); s_Ano := UINT_TO_STRING(sc_DataTime.wYear); s_Data_Atualizada_Formatada := CONCAT(s_Dia, CONCAT('/', CONCAT(s_Mes, CONCAT('/', s_Ano)))); // FORMATA HORA EM UMA STRING s_Hora := UINT_TO_STRING(sc_DataTime.wHour); s_Minu := UINT_TO_STRING(sc_DataTime.wMinute); s_Segu := UINT_TO_STRING(sc_DataTime.wSecond); s_Hora_Atualizada_Formatada := CONCAT(s_Hora, CONCAT(':', CONCAT(s_Minu, CONCAT(':', s_Segu)))); // ABRE e CRIA ARQUIVO IF (b_SET_Executa_fb_Cria_Arquivo OR b_Executa_fb_Cria_Arquivo) AND NOT(b_RES_Executa_fb_Cria_Arquivo) THEN b_Executa_fb_Cria_Arquivo := TRUE; ELSE b_Executa_fb_Cria_Arquivo := FALSE; END_IF fb_Cria_Arquivo( xExecute := b_Executa_fb_Cria_Arquivo, sFileName := s_Nome_Arquivo, eFileMode := i_modo_fb_Cria_Arquivo, xExclusive := FALSE, ); //i_Tamanho_Palavra := SizeOf(s_Palavra); // ESCREVE NO ARQUIVO fb_Escreve( xExecute := b_Executa_fb_Escrita, hFile := fb_Cria_arquivo.hFile, szSize := SIZEOF(s_Palavra), pBuffer := ADR(s_palavra) ); // FECHA ARQUIVO fb_Fecha_Arquivo( xExecute := b_Executa_fb_Fecha_Arquivo, hFile := fb_Cria_arquivo.hFile ); IF Criacao_Edicao_Arquivos.b_Escreve_Cabecalho THEN CASE i_Linhas_Cabecalho OF 1 : s_palavra := 'ESTERILIZADOR'; 2: s_palavra := 'MAQ4; $R$L'; 3: s_palavra := CONCAT(CONCAT('CLIENTE: ',GVL.sReceitaAtual), '$R$L'); 4: s_palavra := CONCAT(CONCAT('NUMERO LOTE: ',DINT_TO_STRING(GVL.Lote)), '$R$L'); 5: s_palavra := CONCAT(CONCAT('OPERADOR: ', DINT_TO_STRING(GVL.Operador)), '$R$L'); 6: s_palavra := CONCAT(CONCAT('DATA: ', s_Data_Atualizada_Formatada), '$R$L'); 7: s_palavra := CONCAT(CONCAT('HORA: ', s_Hora_Atualizada_Formatada), '$R$L'); 8: s_palavra := '$R$L'; 9: s_palavra := 'PARAMETROS AJUSTADOS $R$L'; 10: s_palavra := CONCAT('TEMPO PRE COND.: ', CONCAT(INT_TO_STRING(GVL.rc_T_PreCondicionamento), ' min $R$L')); 11: s_palavra := CONCAT('PULSOS INERTIZACAO 1: ', CONCAT(INT_TO_STRING(GVL.rc_PulsosInertizacao_1), ' PULSOS $R$L')); 12: s_palavra := CONCAT('PULSOS INERTIZACAO 2: ', CONCAT(INT_TO_STRING(GVL.rc_PulsosInertizacao_2), ' PULSOS $R$L')); 13: s_palavra := CONCAT('PULSOS AERACAO: ', CONCAT(INT_TO_STRING(GVL.rc_PulsosAeracao_2), ' PULSOS $R$L')); 14: s_palavra := CONCAT('PRESSAO DE VACUO 1: ', CONCAT(REAL_TO_STRING(GVL.rc_PV1_max), ' bar $R$L')); 15: s_palavra := CONCAT('PRESSAO DE VACUO 2: ', CONCAT(REAL_TO_STRING(GVL.rc_PV2), ' bar $R$L')); 16: s_palavra := CONCAT('PRESSAO INERTIZACAO 1: ', CONCAT(REAL_TO_STRING(GVL.rc_PN1), ' bar $R$L')); 17: s_palavra := CONCAT('PRESSAO INERTIZACAO 2: ', CONCAT(REAL_TO_STRING(GVL.rc_PN2), ' bar $R$L')); 18: s_palavra := CONCAT('PRESSAO AERACAO: ', CONCAT(REAL_TO_STRING(GVL.rc_PAR), ' bar $R$L')); 19: s_palavra := CONCAT('PRESSAO ETO: ', CONCAT(REAL_TO_STRING(GVL.rc_PressaoETO), ' bar $R$L')); 20: s_palavra := CONCAT('PRESSAO Compl.: ', CONCAT(REAL_TO_STRING(GVL.rc_PressaoETO_2), ' bar $R$L')); 21: s_palavra := CONCAT('MASSA ETO: ', CONCAT(REAL_TO_STRING(GVL.rc_QuantidadeETO), ' Kg $R$L')); 22: s_palavra := CONCAT('TEMPO PRE COND.

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.
