Post by jeffersonhui on SP20 Visualization Element Dynamic Colors ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I am using Codesys SP20 patch 5 and in a visualization element, the "Color variables" section does not have a section to set up dynamic color values linked to variables. In a previous version (SP18), I get the option to add variables for Normal & Alarm state colors. Does anyone know how to get the dynamic color variables to work?

Post by timvh on TargetVisu started in windowed or not full screen ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
In your soft plc folder, there is a file called targetvisuextern.cfg. Open this with a text editor to change the settings. Remove the semi-colons in front of the lines to enable your custom window settings. WindowType=0 means you will get a moveable window. Save the file and restart the soft PLC to enable these settings.

Post by cellohorst on File Creation Issue ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Nope! The file path is $$PlcLogic$$ and NOT $$PLCLogic$$. Otherwise a new folder ('PLCLogic') is created (at least with a linux rt - like raspberry or compute module) with the new file in it if you open the file with eFileMode := FILE.MODE.MRDWR. That is a bad bug that I'll report right after this comment.

I am using Codesys Control RTE V3 Version 3.5.21.0 I am not sure what you are asking. Which hardware ID has the network interface card? I have ran ipconfig /all and attached an image. Let me know what other information I can provide to you to help troubleshoot this problem. Thank

Post by eschwellinger on Codesys Network driver install for Codesys Control RTE x64 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Yes, either adding in the CODESYSContro_User.cfg because the driver will no longer appear in the list or type the name from the documentation in the configuration and when the gray check mark appears, the driver is also installed. It is just not selectable anymore.

Post by snguyen on Atomic and Shared memory? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, I've read that you can perform Atomic instructions like AtomicReadLInt on variables. However, I'd like to know if this uses stdatomic internally. My main question is : Is it possible to share atomic types in shared memory with CodeSys. If so, what types should they be declared as? If not, are the atomic functions lock-free or does it use a mutex?

Post by lbouchard on CANOpen SIL2 error: UNSAFESTACK_NOT_OPERATIONAL ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, Working in 3.5 SP11 32 bit and using the 3S CANopenSafety Slave 3.5.11.0 library on an IFM CR711S. The 3SCSSD.CANOpenDevicesSIL2 function block keeps throwing "UNSAFESTACK_NOT_OPERATIONAL" Additionally, the Status of the device gives "There was an error accessing an I/O parameter". Any ideas on where my issues may lay? I have not found any good documentation that would explain the issue.

This is a homing routine which is controlled by setting mode of operation and started by setting a bit in the control word. If MC_Home is not usable for this homing method then I need to implement the same functionality. But how?

Post by antonz on CoDeSys v3.5: creating libraries for both 32-bit and 64-bit controllers <sup>CODESYS Forge talk (Post)</sup>
Thanks Tim. I would think it somehow is relevant when creating a compiled library, but that may very well not be the case. If I understand you correctly, then the same compiled library created from my source code would work for both 32 bit as well as 64 bit controllers.

Post by timvh on PHOENIX CONTACT Axioline PLCnext project in CodeSys SodftPLC <sup>CODESYS Forge talk (Post)</sup>
1) Based on your first screenshot. Do NOT filter on "Phoenix". Then first select the Ethernet adapter (of CODESYS) and add this to your device. 2) Then to this Ethernet adapter add a Profinet Controller of CODESYS. 3) Then to this Profinet Controller, add your Phoenix Profinet coupler/adapter.

Post by gseidel on can not new a cam table in codesys V3.5 SP20 <sup>CODESYS Forge talk (Post)</sup>
Hi liai, is it possible, that SM3_Basic is missing in the library manager? (It should be inserted automatically when adding a Cam table, along with the other motion libs.) You can add it manually and see if that solves the compile errors. Best regards, Georg

Hi liai, I tried it with a fresh CODESYS SP21 Patch 2 installation and SoftMotion 4.18, but cannot reproduce the compile errors. Could you please upload a project archive that has the errors? Then I can have a deeper look. https://dl.codesys.com/s/q4KcbKCcZndg6oR Best regards, Georg

Gateway and runtime (Control for linux SL) on a debian linux. Thanks for your check. Good to know. I will probably travel there in about a months time so that will give me better possibility for further testing.

Post by tvm on Cannot pass array of constant size to a function as a reference <sup>CODESYS Forge talk (Post)</sup>
It will be a reference, because it's a VAR_IN_OUT. it's a little weird debugging the array online. It just shows as a POINTER TO INT, and you can't actually see the array from the function side. But you can still work with it as a normal array, not a pointer.

Hi, When I'm adding a CANOpen device in my WAGO CANOpen Manager, CODESYS automaticaly generates some SDO's that I can't directly disable. From what those SDO's are generated ? I'm not finding anything about it in the EDS files. Also, is there a way to disable the automaticaly generated SDO and execute the manualy created ones ? Regards, Florian
