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?

If I select "Update boot aplication" while I download the code the persistent variables got a constant startup value. But during the running I am still not able make the persistent variables to hold they actual value.

Are these variables already declared in the IO list? It looks like it's trying to create new variables instead of mapping them to the existing ones.

I think what you want is a declaration period function for the page, but unfortunately CODESYS does not have it.

Post by peterned on Array to String ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
max. string length in Codesys is 255 chars. It's not possible to cram 20,000 things in a string. If you need to send the data to another device, send the whole data[] array (as byte array, without doing anything to it) and extract the information on the other end. As each struct member has a fixed size (81 bytes, as per you declaration), this will be easy. To save some resources, consider declaring string lengths - e.g. if the max possible length for key is 10 chars, declare it key: STRING(10); and it will occupy 11 bytes instead of 81

Post by ameba on PersistentVars and Webvisu Element ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
hello everyone I would like to try to better understand how persistent variables work. I created some boolean variables in the PersistentVars section initialized to the value TRUE. I have tied these boolean variables to toggle switches placed inside the HMI interface pages. Once the PLC program is started, the lever selectors, if operated, change their state, at least at a graphical level, but the persistent variables do not undergo any variation. Initially the above variables were declared as simple global variables, in this case the operation with the levers was correct; I then tried to transform them into persistent ones with the aim of using them as "settings saver" Thank you for support Bye
