Post by bertcom on STRING conversions to DWORD

Good afternoon. I want to communicate with a Domino Industrial Printer using its Codenet protocol. The printer wants a series of Hexadecimal characters with no spaces or '00' characters. Because of that i chose the option to make the prefix and subfix for my code in a string. I have variable data in another string. With a complete program of a lot of CONCAT functions i eventually get the format of code that the printer accepts ( tested it with the hercules tool). Hercules String : 1B4F513030311B7532626C61636B04 The problem is : Codesys adds automatically 'code' to the code to show it is a string. Codesys string : '1B4F513030311B7532626C61636B04' The printer does not understand this. My idea is to convert the string datatype to an LWORD. I have no idea how to do this. I random types in STRING_TO_DWORD, as return i get 0. That didn't worked. Also on internet the explenations around string converting in codesys are very limited. If there in anyone who can explain me how to do it, i would appreciate it a lot ! Thank you!

Hello, When I add 2 nics in vPLC this happens to me..., why is it? If I just put one of the two NICs, the vPLC runtime instance starts running correctly...

Try this: VAR sTextList : STRING; END_VAR sTextList := 'NameOfTheTextList'; // call to the function with the address of the string variable which contains the name of the textlist : ... ADR(sTextList), ....

I haven't actually found an answer yet. It happens quite rarely, so testing and diagnostics are complicated. I've updated the software with every SP and add-on updates released, but it's probably a Kernel driver issue.

You can download the missing libraries by clicking on the "Download Missing Libraries" button. However, if you were unaware of this and accidentally downloaded the latest version of the library from the Library Repository, you may need to uninstall it first to avoid conflicts.

One thing you could do is create an object with the variable as field with a function and procedure to get the variable (read) and set the variable (write). These are then called from your program and the vizualization.

Thanks for the response. I have found this file in two places, I have updated the text in both but it didnt work. Am I missing something on the Codesys side. How do you restart the soft plc, I have been stopping it and starting it. The Visu screen come up but still in full screen mode. Here are the two locations of this file: C:\Program Files\Codesys Control\GatewayPLC\AppDataFiles\CODESYSControlWinV3x64 and C:\Program Files\CODESYS 3.5.20.50\GatewayPLC\AppDataFiles\CODESYSControlWinV3x64 Here is the contents of targetvisuextern.cfg [ComponentManager] [CmpTargetVisu] ; The Window... settings can be used for displaying the targetvisualization in a window instead of fullscreen WindowType=0 WindowPositionX=0 WindowPositionY=0 WindowSizeWidth=1024 WindowSizeHeight=768 HideCursorCompletely=1 [SysWindow] ;Windows.CloseOnAltF4=0 ;Windows.CloseOnWM_CLOSE=0 [CmpLog] ;Logger.0.Name=TvExtLogger ;Logger.0.Enable=1 ;Logger.0.MaxEntries=1000 ;Logger.0.MaxFileSize=5000 ;Logger.0.MaxFiles=3 ;Logger.0.Backend.0.ClassId=0x0000010B ;sends logger messages to SysOut ;Logger.0.Backend.1.ClassId=0x00000104 ;writes logger messages in a file ;Logger.0.Backend.2.ClassId=0x00000135 ;sends logger messages as UDP syslog

I found the solution. The NIC information on Deploy control SL should be defined to scan profinet devices. So I moved to the next challenge. Device is founded but still it has orange mark not green.

means not licensed demo mode.. use the Licenserver on the host and apply a license and add the Ip of the license server then it will be green.

For a permanent change, you may need to update the PLC configuration file or set the IP at startup using retained variables.

Thank you, Bingo. Your idea of adding the change to the start up process works. However, I am still intrigued with the fact that SysSockSetIPAddress(strEthernetPort:= '0', strIPAddress:= '192.168.2.12') is different from PLC Shell (setipaddr 0 192.168.2.12).:-(

Use a VAR_INPUT for properties. The reason for the error is that you can't get a reference to a property. Using a VAR_INPUT will copy the property to an input variable.

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.
