Post by leag on Reset device password Festo PLC ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, I am new to CODESYS, and I want to program a new FESTO, but I am getting this authentication screen. I don't remember the password. I tried with Administrator/Administrator and some other defaults I found online but nothing works. I also tried searching for CODESYSControl_User.cfg and many other recommended directories but I dont seem to have any of them (like CODESYSControlWinV3x64) Could you please help me understand what I need to reset? Thanks a lot

Post by jgalaska on SMC_Trafo 6DOF Config Error ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, Recently I was trying to run 6DOF robot in codesys via SMC_Trafo_ArticulatedRobot_6DOF, unfortunately no matter what parameters I tried, it always outputs InvalidConfig Error. I saw the same issue in a topic: https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/Motion/thread/16e1f0327f/ But if I understand correctly, the user solved it by developing his own version of this block. I wanted to know if it is a bug in the library (SM3_CNC 4.20.0.0) or am I doing something wrong? Can anyone confirm that they can use the FB without it reporing the Error? Kind regards,

Post by gland on Open project automatic with correct version ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Goodmorning, The projects we have made (with several persons) are in differents versions, Codesys V3.5 sp18 patch4, V3.5 sp19 patch 2, V3,5 sp19 patch 5 etc V3.5 sp21 patch 3 etc.. Now when we're opening an project thats's not opend before on my pc and we're not sure in witch version it's made it's quite annoying. We don't want to update to the newest version. Is there a way that it's automatic opening the correct version? Is there a program/tool/easy way to do this? Thanks,

Post by fleaplc on CPU + EtherCAT redundancy ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi all, for a new project I'm looking for a redundant controller with EtherCAT fieldbus I/O. Actually I'm using Beckhoff and it works great! but there's not a solid redundancy yet... Does someone get experience for industrial application (not raspberry) for a redundant Codesys system? If yes please share some info (CPU / OS type, bus, number of managed I/O,... and especially feeling feedback (stability, bugs, performance)... Every suggestion is kindly appreciated!! Fabrizio

Can anyone shed some light on this issue im having. at random, sometimes days, sometimes weeks or months. i get this error and have to reset the plc. Im using a Weintek HMI with ethernet/ip remote io and vsd. i have tried increasing my task times and watchdogs. and when i view my PLCload in the shell its normally around 3-4%, highest ive ever seen is 7%. Nothing i do seems to help the issue. Could the HMI's Codesys CPU be getting to hot do to high ambient temp?

Post by confre on Combo box drop-down invisible ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, I created a combo box and I need to know when the drop‑down menu is open, in order to avoid hiding the combo box while the drop‑down is visible. Alternatively, if it’s not possible to detect whether the drop‑down is open, I would like to know how to close or hide the drop‑down programmatically when the combo box is made invisible. I'm using Codesys 3.5 SP19 on IFM CR1074 without touch screen (with standard keyboard handling) Thanks.

Hallo mattplc, man kann das Leid mitfühlen. OPC UA verspricht immer so viel. Aber wenn es um die praktische Umsetzung geht, und man damit die Aufgabe "schicke Daten von A nach B" lösen möchte, trifft man unvermutet auf den Endgegner. Der Mega-Bösewicht der Komplexität und Kompliziertheit. Was Dein Problem angeht, vermute ich mal das es mit dem Thema "Informationsmodell" zusammenhängt. Viel Erfolg auf Deiner Reise ✊✊✊

Post by dmb-fan on Attemp Convert old V2.3 projects : Error HRESULT: 0x80010105 (RPC_E_SERVERFAULT)) ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I had runnig this already. Then I updated to SP22 patch3. After that I got always this error: ===== Project importieren: XXXXnameYYYYYY ===== *[FATALER FEHLER] Fehler beim Import des Projekts: Ausnahmefehler des Servers. * [FATAL ERROR] Error importing the project: Server exception. (Exception to HRESULT: 0x80010105 (RPC_E_SERVERFAULT)) I delete the version and installed again. Same. I uninstalled all CoDeSys on the PC and installed the old SP22 patch2 new. Same error by opening old projects. Immediatly, not by converting. Convert V3.5.17 was always installed. What is happening or what can I do?

Post by nixola on Exception handler return value purpose in _CODESYS 3.5 ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, I was trying to figure out how to correctly handle system exceptions in a CODESYS project, but either the documentation falls short, or I'm unable to find the proper docs. I know I can register a function as an exception handler via Task Configuration > System Events > Add Event Handler, which will create a function with the correct interface; I am, however, unable to figure out what the returned DWORD is supposed to be, if anything. Is the interface for the exception handler documented and, if so, where can I find it?

Post by sunfloweeerrry on Edgelogix-rpi-1000-cm4102032 SPI port connection to PiFace I/O Driver in CodeSys. ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I hv a problem. Couldn't solve this for 2 days now. So I'm quite new at CodeSys and I have to use the spi port x30 on the edgelogix rpi 1000. So what I have to do is just 'add device' at the SPI where I hv to pick the 'SPI master' after that I hv to change the parameters according to the edgelogix I did found in the spidev.h but nothing got updated so I 'add device' again where I pick the PiFace I/O Driver and I put my variables at the I/O Mapping, which i put the input startbit at the in part and led at the out part. I want to make the led blink according to my structured text code but somehow the hardware didn't connected with the CodeSys spi port. Nothing happens. Any idea what I have to do?

Hello at all. After un upgrade of "CODESYS Control for Raspberry Pi MC SL" from v4.7 to v4.9 SysFileOpen function stopped working. I'm not able to read or write files from the PLC application. Before this upgrade all worked fine. I've read this thread [ https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/Engineering/thread/3da9ded84e/ ] Despite I followed that indications I couldn't get my code working again. Perhaps I'm missing something or I didn't understand how to use placeholders at all. Is there a different syntax to use for "SysFileOpen" in order to use placeholders? Thanks in advance for your help. Information Compiler: CODESYS V3.5 SP19 Patch 2 Runtime: codesyscontrol 4.9.0 HW: KUNBUS RevPi Connect S Below the paths I want to access (The entire CODESYSControl_User.cfg file is attached) [SysFile] PlaceholderFilePath.1=/home/pi/hpca/bin, $hpcabin$ PlaceholderFilePath.2=/home/pi/hpca/cfg, $hpcacfg$ PlaceholderFilePath.3=/home/pi/hpca/logs, $hpcalogs$ PlaceholderFilePath.4=/home/pi/hpca/resources, $hpcares$
