I actually just found the solution maybe. If anyone else is running into this, go to your Project Settings > Visualization > Advanced (check 'Visible' to see advanced settings) > UNCHECK 'Activate property handling in all element properties.' I am not sure what else unchecking this might affect but it seems to allow the alarm table to be filtered as expected.

CODESYS Forge

You can enable "Sync Producing" in the configuration of the CANopen Manager. Then this manager will send a SYNC message every interval you set. Depending on your PDO configuration, the CAN nodes can send a PDO on every Sync (cyclic-synchronous). If this is not possible, then as alternative you can send a low level CAN message with COB-ID 16#80.

CODESYS Forge

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?

Hi aniket-b, If you save the library as a compiled library you are not able to see the source code. When the end user tries to view inside the object, CODESYS will give a notification that the source code is missing, see attachment. In short if you don't send the source code, it will not show.

Hi, Im not sure if this is what you mean, but i do succesfully use the IoDrvEthercatLib.ETCSlave.InputData and IoDrvEthercatLib.ETCSlave.OutputData to read from and write to beckhoff DI and DO cards. Very convenient as you can make an FB with an VAR_IN_OUT of type IoDrvEthercatLib.ETCSlave and only have to pass the slave reference... So i am not using .ETCSlave_Diag but .ETCSlave...

You can use the switch frame variable, but there should be a variable for each active visu user. You can put the switch frame variable in an array, and use CURRENTCLIENTID as index into the array to get what you want. The CURRENTCLIENTID is assigned to new users automagically by the Visu Management.

I have found a similar topic but tried to run it in C3.5.16 and the visualization crashed. https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/Engineering/thread/8be0f6f14a/ My question is what is the easiest way to run a dialog from ST, as we need an external device to open the dialog so we cannot use the button on the display itself.

Hi, I'm experiencing this problem as well. Did the suggested combination resolve your issues in the end? If not, I can stop my efforts rolling back to these versions. I'm trying to get CC for RPi 4.8.0.0 installed on the device, but I can't find it after installing it through the packet manager.

Hi @eschwellinger How does the persistent manager files work on v20? I would Like to upgrade my v19 as I'm still having issues. Sometimes if there is a power cut CodeSys won't load the Persistence Manager files and I have to redownload to the PLC and then copy my backup persistent files and then start the application. I hope it's a lot more robust in v20

I'd like to measure tool length using SW. How do I set variable from the accurate drive position when switch turn ON/OFF? Hopefully, I'd like to measure Z-Pos with M-Function in G-Code automatically, And I'd like to set it to G43 as tool length correction.

Are you able to dynamically change the JSON message? As in, if wsValue or iValue is linked to some real telemetry that varies over time, will the JSON message reflect these changes? I am only able to send the values that I initialize the JSON message to

Hi! thanks for reply. We tested the configuration you proposed as well; however, when the cable between the controller and the switch was disconnected, the Active and Standby roles were swapped. Did you observe the same behavior in your configuration using WAGO and Beckhoff?

Hi polyautomacao, hmm, did you tune the PD parameters as shown in the link I posted above? One thing that could cause the behavior are bad parameters. I also don't understand the screen shot: when you hold the encoder to 0, why is the actual position of the DrivePosControl -208? Best regards, Georg

it works pretty well on codesys-version using device-tree and channels. heres the twist: each uid should be represented as a device, which in your case, it isn't. on the other hand, you found a solution which already works fine. Happy Modbus'ing

Post by tariq on Using Hilscher CIFX Cards as EtherCAT Masters in CODESYS
CODESYS Forge
talk
(Post)
Dear Codesys Support Team, I hope this message finds you well. I am currently working on a project that involves using a Hilscher CIFX card to act as an EtherCAT master within the CODESYS environment. Despite following the available documentation and setup guides, I have encountered some challenges and require assistance to ensure proper configuration and operation. Questions: 1- Could you please confirm if the Hilscher CIFX card is supported as an EtherCAT master in CODESYS? If so, are there specific drivers or configuration files that need to be installed? 2- Are there detailed setup guides or example projects available that demonstrate the integration of Hilscher CIFX cards with CODESYS for EtherCAT communication? 3- Is there any additional software or plugins required for ensuring seamless communication between the CIFX card and the EtherCAT slaves within CODESYS? Your support and guidance on these matters would be greatly appreciated, as it is crucial for the success of our project. Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your prompt response. Best regards, TB
