Post by taqamert on IFM-Sensor ADC READ ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I have a pressure sensor that measures 0-600 bar and outputs a 0-5V signal, but my PLC reads analog inputs in the 0-10V range and displays a value of 1024 when 10V is applied. In this case, when the sensor outputs 5V at 600 bar, the PLC shows a value of 512. My working range is 0-350 bar, which means the PLC only uses 298 bits in this range, significantly reducing the resolution. What can I do to achieve better resolution within the 0-350 bar range?

Post by balazska2 on Position values with integer variables ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello guys! https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Visualization/_visu_elem_label.html My question: Could I give an integer variable to the Position records (in the Element list => Position => width / height)? If yes, how? I defined a TEST integer variable with 300 value. I tried to add this variable to the width record (.TEST or only TEST), but if I saved, the value jumps back to 0. Thanks for your help! :)

Ok, for the sake of completeness in case anyone else has this problem. I can tell you that what finally worked for me was to change the line: // create an ExtensionObject to wrap the value to be written ExtensionObject extensionObject = new ExtensionObject( new ExpandedNodeId("GVL_StructA", 5), structAData ); to: // create an ExtensionObject to wrap the value to be written ExtensionObject extensionObject = new ExtensionObject( new ExpandedNodeId("GVL_StructA|defaultbinary", 5), structAData ); I'm sure there are many other problems that could cause this very generic error, but this was my problem.

Post by mondinmr on Something of strange in the trace ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I noticed something strange in the trace: one of the variables (specifically parts.servoFeeder.m_pathGen.m_acPos) is showing an absurd or unrealistic value—something around 4E+18. However, when I check the same variable in the watch window, it shows a normal and expected value (around 506). Do you know why there is this discrepancy between the trace and the watch? Could it be a bug in the trace tool? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I have rpi with CANFD MCP2518FD. Classic can communication is working OK but when I try open in CANFD hDriver := CL2.FdDriverOpenH(usiNetId := 0, uiNominalBaudrate := 500, uiDataBaudrate := 0, xSupport29Bits := FALSE, ctMessages := 100, peError := ADR(eError) error is returned with value 10226 which is not documented (https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/libs/CAA%20Can%20Low%20Level%20Extern/Current/CAN-Low-Level/Enums/ERROR.html#error) CAA CanL2 is 3.5.21 version. Question is: 1. Is anyone get CANFD working? 2. What is meaning of this value (10226)? Regards, Pawel

Hi all, I want to ask, how do I write code to read multiple address for Ethernet IP communication protocol? Because this multiple address will produce one reading of a sensor that I am currently using. I want to read the value of the sensor. https://global.discourse-cdn.com/business6/uploads/wago/original/1X/7a79f4ad7ce474b9383b8550356d984defd9f3a0.png The addresses are in Byte. The 4 addresses are 89,90,91,92. Thanks in advance. Best regards, Umair

Post by fless on FB having single input but initialized with Array ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Why will it retain the sum value from the last call? This is how PLC work. Usually variables only get initialized after a download or a reset (i.e. power loss). RETAIN variables are saved in a special kind of RAM and keep their value after a power loss. To initialize variables on every call of your FB use the VAR TEMP block. VAR_TEMP sum : INT; END_VAR

Post by wiresplus on Display minutes as hours & minutes ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I have a counter that increments an INT value once per minute I want to display this value in Minutes until 60, then Hours/Minutes thereafter on the HMI Codesys V3.5 SP16 I can divide the minutes by 60 to get hours, but then the minutes is still more than 60. Example: a process has run for 350 Minutes. I need to display "5 Hours 50 Minutes" But if it's only been 45 Minutes, I don't want "0 Hours 45 Minutes" , just "45 Minutes"

256MB for the protocol yes, but the default value for this library parameter limits the library to 6kB per task scan.

... you say 1.6 Nm is only enough torque to unscrew a loose bottle cap ... This the the value of torque: from 1,2 Nm to 1,4 Nm that is cosidered acceptable for an old people. 1,6 Nm the torque considered acceptable for general use caps.

is your pointer set to the correct visu client? set a breakpoint in your client iteration and step through the active visu clients like programming system, targetvisu, webvisu,... and check the last usage value of each client

Post by timvh on Help with DynamicTextGetTextW ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
First of all you need to enable "Use unicodestrings" in the Visualization Manager. This function returns a pointer to a WSTRING (not STRING). To get this wstring value, do something like this: VAR myWstringVariable : WSTRING(255); END_VAR myWstringVariable := myResult^; // this is dereferencing the pointer to the WSTRING.

Post by bruceae on Ethernet/IP Scan ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I have a robot configured as a Generic Ethernet Module under Ethernet/IP Scanner. I can not see the change of state of the outputs coming from the robot on the codesys side in real-time. (The robot has it's own internal program that would changes the values of remote outputs 0-3 off and on). Also when I send data down to the inputs of the robot it doesn't transfer over as expected. As an example I'll send to the robot's input bit 0 a value of 1. It doesn't see that value change. However, when I write that input bit 0 back to a value of 0, the robot changes state and shows a value of 1. And if I change the state of a different bit, the other bits update properly, except for the bit that I changed. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, and if anything else is needed let me know.

Should work by using the property Dynamic bitmap - Bitmap version. Change the value of the variable you linked to this property after you updated the image. See: https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Visualization/_visu_elem_image.html
