maybe the compiler of the IDE can only use this color and other colors have to be licensed? But seriously, I agree with the request.

That time it was not answered. But yes, it is possible. Search for "Relative movement" properties of the rectangle element. Might need to enable advanced features in the property browser. https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Visualization/_visu_elem_rectangle.html

For what it is worth taking into account on version 4.18: Softmotion 4.17 doesn't work with the SMC_TRAFO_Scara2. Very small numbers come out of dA and dB. Going back to version 4.16 solves the issues.

You can get the state by just using the name of your node (same name as in device tree): VAR etcState: IoDrvEthercatDriverLib.ETC_SLAVE_STATE; END_VAR etcState := EJ1100.wState; Alternatively, you can iterate through the device tree to get the status of all (Ethercat) nodes. See here an example (no guarantee it works, just give as suggestion): PROGRAM P_IO_State VAR CONSTANT uiMAX_NR_OF_TERMINALS : UINT := 100; END_VAR VAR // general device diagnosis // can only be used when the Device - PLC Settings - Advanced settings - enable diagnosis for devices is enabled // this will add the DED library coupler: DED.INode; terminal: DED.INode; aDeviceState: ARRAY[0..uiMAX_NR_OF_TERMINALS - 1] OF DED.DEVICE_STATE; uiTerminalCount : UINT; uiIndex : UINT; // for each terminal check if it implements device diagnostics xQueryResult: BOOL; itfDevice : DED.IDevice2; xDiagAvailable: BOOL; eError: DED.ERROR; xEverythingOK: BOOL; END_VAR uiTerminalCount := 0; // start at the top of the device tree with the first EtherCAT coupler coupler := EtherCAT_Master.FirstChildNode; WHILE coupler <> 0 DO // for each coupler that is found start at the first terminal terminal := coupler.FirstChildNode; WHILE terminal <> 0 AND uiTerminalCount < uiMAX_NR_OF_TERMINALS - 1 DO // for each terminal that is found get the status through the device diagnosis interface xQueryResult := __QUERYINTERFACE(terminal, itfDevice); IF xQueryResult THEN aDeviceState[uiTerminalCount] := itfDevice.GetDeviceState(xDiagnosisInfoAvailable => xDiagAvailable, eError => eError); uiTerminalCount := uiTerminalCount + 1; END_IF terminal := terminal.NextSiblingNode; END_WHILE coupler := coupler.NextSiblingNode; END_WHILE uiIndex := 0; xEverythingOK := TRUE; WHILE uiIndex < uiTerminalCount DO IF aDeviceState[uiIndex] <> DED.DEVICE_STATE.RUNNING THEN xEverythingOK := FALSE; EXIT; END_IF uiIndex := uiIndex + 1; END_WHILE

Hello, You can create a program in ST for AS228T using either DELTA ISPSoft or DELTA DIADesigner. The only DELTA PLCs/Controllers I know of compatible with CODESYS are AX-3 and AX-8 series. You will need to install the proper packages, though. Cheers!

Hi Suyash! Stick to the IDE version used to create the project, and use Library Manager to fix version mismatches. Disable auto library updates and keep a record of working versions for stability. https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/Engineering/thread/0a4c242ab9/Italian Brainrot Clicker

Thx for the hint. It works if I add following line to the .cfg file. PlaceholderFilePath.2=/sys/devices/w1_bus_master2, $OneWire2$ Is there a documentation how to modify this config file? Will this be overwritten if I do an update of the CodesysControl Runtime?

Yes, this is possible with the Toolkit. We only server customers in the Benelux that do this, so contact your local CODESYS distributor, or contact the sales team of CODESYS Germany.

Hi @andreal, Were you able to adapt a codesys runtime to your linux based device? I am planning on the same lines. we want to develop a small controller of 64IOs for our application. We want to adapt codesys runtime on our Arm processor based embedded linux boards.

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.
