Post by ulvis on What is the CFC editor (page oriented) "Add page" keyboard shortcut? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
But I do not want to do mouse dragging. I want a keyboard shortcut. OK, I may be a little peculiar, as any chart editor definitely requires a drawing tool as a mouse, trackball, pad or whatever....

Post by nz-dave on MC_HOMING ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi Just new to motion and i am building my own 3axis cnc cutter using servo drives. i have every thing working quite well apart from mc_home. when executed (r_trig) it stops immediately and i get fb_wasnt_called_during_motion. if i execute the mc_home fb with a toggle it just runs and runs for a while then errors out. what im unsure of is the way mc_home works. from what i understand it changes the drive mode to 6 (homing) and should then run of the drive homing settings. once origin sensor is made then homing would stop and mc_home.done is true. and the position on the fb is where i what the new home position (zero) to be? or do i feed mc_readposition to that input? so i would think its the settings in the drive that aren't quite right. but i believe they are all correct. has any one got any info to steer me in the right direction? Cheers

Hello all! My lack of experience on CodeSys IDE is landing me into problems. Everytime I download the latest version of the IDE, I get several errors due to libraries not matching. How do I manage my projects henceforth? BR, Suyash

Thanks, but unfortunately it does not work. I tried also the other function in the Properties window. What i tried also is to change the Visu-Style or looking for options.

It is not an error, but just an information message. You need to select the correct location in your device tree where you want to import the objects. E.g. select Application below your Device.

Hello, I also meet this problem, and the same problem occurred even after reinstalling CODESYS. I didn't fully understand your last description. Could you attach pictures for better illustration?

Post by tomw on Soft Motion - PosControl External Encoder ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I need to understand how an external encoder ties into the SM_Drive_PosControl setup. I have an application where I have two hydraulic servo amplifiers. The encoder is a Temposonic Linear SSI encoder. How does the encoder get tied back into the SM_Drive_PosControl axis. Thanks.

I am looking for the same thing, I am trying to edit a library I downloaded but I found that the functions are read only. The link above is broken, should I be looking somewhere like here? https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/LibDevSummary/index.html

Does anyone know how to access the ModbusTCPSlave_Diag.ComState without declaring each one by the device name? I attached them to an array but since I may have dozens of devices this is still a bad solution.

Post by canplum on Codesys 3.5.21 fails to copy file to USB ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Although I have set in /etc/codesyscontrol/CODESYSControl_User.cfg the [SysFile] PlaceholderFilePath.1=/media/pi, $usb$ PlaceholderFilePath.1.View=1 PlaceholderFilePath.1.Volatile=1 I am not able to copy a file to this directory defined by the placeholder. Neither SysProcess.SysProcessExecuteCommand2 nor SysFileCopy nor FileCopy is working. If I try to copy the same file to /home/pi all is working fine. I also can create and open a different file by using SysFileOpen. I don't understand why the system allows to open (create) and write files into that directory but doesn't allow to copy into it. Obviously there is a rights problem with the USB drive. I have already set the permissions to drwxr-xr-x 2 and the user to pi but without any success. With 3.5.16 I never had such an issue. Is there anybody with some hints how to solve that problem? Cheers, canplum

Post by kuegerls on Programmatically clearing or syncing Data Source Manager cache? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi everyone, is there a way to programmatically clear the cache of the Data Source Manager in CODESYS so that variable values are re-synchronized from the OPC UA server (Symbol Configuration with OPCUA features)? Alternatively, is it possible to trigger a manual synchronization of data source variables from within the application code at runtime? Here’s the situation: A variable is first written by the OPC UA client to the server in one state of a state machine and changes to another state – so the initial communication works. Later, the server changes the variable value, but the client does not receive or reflect the updated value, unless the variable is actively written again. I’m looking for a way to force the client (data source manager) to re-read or refresh the variable state from the server, possibly by clearing the internal cache or triggering a sync. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

If you update all to the newest versions in the project environment and update all devices in the device tree, the errors should gone! Missing the device updates is often causing this problems!

You can write any expression that evaluates to TRUE/FALSE in that property, you can also call a method from the property.

Post by timothyzalusky on Missing Device Descriptions in Repository ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
For reference this is fixed by installing the new codesys install with a separate repository folder. Completely resolved. If anyone else sees this. I would like to know why the persistent devices repository folder does not properly retain between installs though.

Thx for the hint. It works if I add following line to the .cfg file. PlaceholderFilePath.2=/sys/devices/w1_bus_master2, $OneWire2$ Is there a documentation how to modify this config file? Will this be overwritten if I do an update of the CodesysControl Runtime?

Post by tk096 on SMC_ReadNCFile2 is always busy ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, do you process the sentences subsequently? If not, the function block fills the sentences (queue) and waits for the sentences to be processed, so that new sentences can be read and filled to the queue.
