Hi, for Control Win : add CmpEL6751CanDrv in the c:\ProgramData\CODESYS\CODESYSControlWinV3x64\E1FA7ABE\CODESYSControl.cfg [ComponentManager] Component.1=CmpTargetVisuStub Component.2=CmpWebServer Component.3=CmpWebServerHandlerV3 Component.4=SysCpuMultiCore Component.5=SysReadWriteLock Component.6=SysCpuBreakpoints Component.7=SysPipeWindows Component.8=CmpEL6751CanDrv for Linux SL or Pi or any ARM device - I think it is already static loaded as component - see plclogger on startup

I am currently having the issue that Codesyscontrol only runs for 10 seconds on my Raspberry Pi 4. I believe the problem is because the MAC address range is of the Raspberry is 88:A2:9E:XX:XX:XX. When will Codesys Control For Raspberry Pi 4.17.0.0 be released to fix this issue?

It is not needed to add Targetvisu connector - for using the TargetVisu for Linux. The reason is - TargetVisu for Linux is basically a remote TargetVisu which could connect to any CODESYS plc not only the loacal one - therefore only a Webvisu connector is needed to have it work. & it seems a bug with this anoying update proposal.

The fix for this is when you install the control SL license, there is a checkbox for the Visu S license option. You must click this option. The Visu M is technically an upgrade to the Visu S, if this is license is not installed them the Visu M will fail as shown above. Thanks JoJo for the solution!

I am looking for some help with using Gifs in the WebVisu of codesys 3.5.18.40 as the model we tried with ladder logic does not animate the Gif and leaves as the first image of the Gif. Is there a way for ST or LL for it to be animated?

CODESYS Forge

Hi These issues occured using a Raspberry Pi 4. I also repeated the experiment with codesys control for Windows, which results in much lower cycle times. With up to 3 ms, I still think they are fairly high given they should run at 2 ms and don't require complicated kinematics. The effect of higher cycle times for slower movements also prevails.

Hi, thanks a lot for the response. I did check all these parameters, but if the PlanningTask takes up to 60 ms, I can't increase the Buffer to such values. I contacted the Codesys support with a projectarchive. Let's see if they can help. Thanks again for your great support!

I'm not sure it will work, but you could try it with the CmpCharDevice library. You could create a function block that looks something like this: As input for the filename, you have to use your Linux device, e.g.: '/dev/input/event0' '/dev/input/by-path/platform-button@23-event' Off course you must also pass the pointer to the memory where the data can be written to and the size (count in number of bytes) of the buffer. FUNCTION_BLOCK FB_CharDevice VAR_INPUT szFilename: STRING; pbyBuffer : POINTER TO BYTE; udCount : UDINT; END_VAR VAR_OUTPUT iState : INT := 0; nrBytesRead : DINT; END_VAR VAR xInit : BOOL := TRUE; dFlags: DINT := CmpCharDevice.ACCESS_MODE.O_RDONLY + DINT#4000; // see details for flags: http://linux.die.net/man/2/open, + DINT#4000 is for non-blocking hDevice: CmpCharDevice.CmpCharDevice_Implementation.RTS_IEC_HANDLE := -1; Result : CmpCharDevice.CmpCharDevice_Implementation.RTS_IEC_RESULT; END_VAR IF xInit THEN hDevice := CmpCharDevice.CDOpen(szFilename, dFlags ,Result); // if it would not succeed, the result is -1 (Invalid handle) IF hDevice <> 16#FFFFFFFF AND Result = 0 THEN iState := 5; END_IF xInit := FALSE; END_IF IF iState = 5 THEN nrBytesRead := CmpCharDevice.CDRead(hDevice, pbyBuffer, udCount, Result); ELSE nrBytesRead := 0; END_IF Make sure you close the connection properly, maybe by overwriting the default FB_Exit method of the FB: // Clean up device IF hDevice <> 16#FFFFFFFF THEN __TRY CmpCharDevice.CDClose(hDevice,Result); __CATCH ; __ENDTRY iState := 0; END_IF

Hi, When trying to activate a control Basic L license on a Wago PFC200 750-8203 the error The selected container ... does not fit your ticket comes up and won't allow licensing. I have deleted the /var/opt/codesys/cmact_license/ content 3 times and the container number changed each time after a reboot, but the problem persists. Not a happy first time experience with those weird application based licenses. IDE is 19.20. This was a e!Cockpit FW22 PLC and I used Deploy Control SL to make the green web interface red. WBM shows Codesys 2 and e!Runtime active which is a bit weird. What do I do now? Regards Heinz

Hello I am looking for the same thing, so i don't have an answer, but in your case you could possibly use the --noUI flag when running codesys, if you don't care about showing what's happening.

Hi Everyone, It is a very useful feature to be able to obtain the enum value as a string with the TO_STRING operator by defining {attribute 'to_string'}. However, unfortunately the same function does not work for IMPLICIT ENUMs. I hope that {attribute 'to_string'} behavior can also work for Implicit Enumeration data types in one of the upcoming Codesys versions. https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Development%20System/_cds_pragma_attribute_to_string.html https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Development%20System/_cds_datatype_implicit_enumeration.html Best regards, Imdat

A bit of work but maybe possible to make your own driver using "CODESYS Control SL Extension Package". Look at the "ExternalIoDrv" example. It is installed in "C:\Program Files\CODESYS 3.5.20.0\CODESYS\CODESYS Control SL Extension Package" when you install the "CODESYS Control for Linux SL".

Post by mecmag on gear over gear (2 masters,1 slave) - how to do it?
CODESYS Forge
talk
(Post)
Hello, i need to create an application that uses 2 masters, with 2 different ratios, and it outputs in one single slave. I explain better: Imagine axis A, B and C. -Axis A is the slave. -Axis B is master of A, with a specific ratio. -Axis C is master of A, with a specific ratio. the result motion from B and C should be executed by A, proportionally in position and ratios from B and C. With standard softmotion libraries (MC_...) it is not possible (i couldn't) because it is allowed only one master with its ratio. I have made a similiar application in past, using MoveOverGear in order to synch gears before engage. Instead this time, i need to do a gear over gear application, using 2 different masters. The position have to be the sum of both masters (considering their ratios). Any clue about how to do it? Or were to find some FB that can do it?
