Post by simotion on Inheritance of axis
CODESYS Forge

(Post)
I have developped a function block 'Axis' the inherits from 'AXIS_REF_SM3' -> FUNCTION_BLOCK Axis EXTENDS AXIS_REF_SM3 In my global variable list I define a variable MasterDrive of type Axis and assign Axis1. Axis1 is a virtual drive (AXIS_REF_VIRTUAL_SM3). This type should inherit from AXIS_REF_VIRTUAL. VAR_GLOBAL MasterDrive : Axis := Axis1; However I get the error 'Cannot convert type'. What is the way to obtain what I want : function block inheriting AXIS_REF_SM3 and initialising this function block with a Softmotion virtual or real axis?

Hi, you can call the decoder function block in a loop and/or decrease the task cycle interval of Task_PATH.

:) Yeah... Definitely not a "boring" platform, they are nice to give us work for the upcoming years... :)

You can simply excute the function block SMC3_ReinitDrive to the referred axis.

Hello, Thank you for your answer. I'm afraid I was not clear on what I was trying to achieve. I'm trying to change parameters and command axes from inside a function block and the first thing that came to my mind was pass both the EtherCAT slave and axis to the function block (as image attached). But, I believe it's worse than just pass directly the EtherCAT slave address to the function block (is it???). However I was wondering if there was a way to get the EtherCAT address directly from the axis, so I don't need to pass the EtherCAT slave nor the EtherCAT address to the function block. Thank you again!

Post by anlebr on Alarm group template - Is it not possible with several instances?
CODESYS Forge
talk
(Post)
Hi In the POU section of my project I have created a Fan function block and defined an alarm group template for this FB with one alarm (Motor fault). In the PLC program I define two instances of the fan function block. When going to the alarm configuration and pressing "Create or update alarm instances", I get two alarms listed. So far so good. However, when I start my program and check the alarm table in the visualization I only see one alarm, even if both are active. Am I doing something wrong, or is it not possible to define alarms on a function block level and get one set of alarms per instance of the function block?

Your function block instance is not called, so the code is not executed to set the light on when the button is pressed.

Hi, Is it possible to know of an output of a function block is used? I've found there is a way to find unused inputs of a fb, through the attribute: is_connected. But I'm wondering if the same can be done for an output. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I wrote a function block for a controller but I have a warning code C0373 "expression or part of it has no effect" and the sub routine which contain my function block is underlined in blue. Despite, the FB works perfectly. Do you know why I have this warning ? Thanks. Pascal.

Could this be turned into a library? I'd love for a way to have the main program call a function block method using the program's I2C_master device. I assume I should be passing the master as a variable for the function block, but I don't see how that could be achieved

I put the cross reference at the bottom of the pictures. It is not being written to elsewhere. I have tried the execute block too.

Hey mate, did you get to the bottom of this? If not, have you double checked the buttons are linked to the correct variables and/or performing the correct action? Have you tried always enabling the block to confirm false is moved to the variable if so?

It's not that you missed something, it's that CODESYS doesn't have this feature. I hope CODESYS can add this feature. We also hope to add function overload functionality.

I am curious if there is a function block or function that will allow me to monitor the J1939 CANBus and pull out all of the SAs that are on a particular bus, without having to have them loaded in the J1939 manager?

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.
