Post by dkugler on User management ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
If the PLC is equieped with a USB socket it's possible to copy the user management file via IEC code to a USB stick and restore it at the new plc. The file is located there: /PlcLogic/visu/app_visuusermgmtdb.csv I use this to reset the user management to default in case of the customer has changed passwords and lost it.

Post by egau on Hard shutdown: no code on device after power on ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, thanks for the fast response :) Yes I Have a .err file. Sorry I forgot to upload it. It is a binary file though... "Runtime goes in exception before the shutdown ?" I think it goes into exception at the same time as the power is lost...

Post by davidmic on What is this ST syntax? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I found some structured text code which contained this statement: bHidden:= TRUE(*NOT _somevariable*) I haven't seen TRUE() used like a function before, and I also haven't seen the enclosing asterisks * * before. What do they do? (sorry if this is a duplicate question, I don't know what words to use to search for this syntax)

I'm having trouble getting started with the SysFile library. I tried copying and running the code found here: https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/Engineering/thread/f17c3d0e64/ Every time I try to run the file handle pointer returns: 16#FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF <dereference of="" invalid="" pointer=""></dereference> I can see the file when I look in the Device -> Files window Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Post by pixsys on loading delay with the option "check client animations and overlay of native elements" ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, the option "Support client animations and overlay of native elements" needs a very powerful graphics accelerator in the system. I'm using the Pixsys srl "TC series" HMI with the code "P3" (so a 4+4 cores CPU) that runs very well also with this option active.

Thank you, Bingo. I have added the instructions below to the CODESYSControl.cfg file, but they haven't changed anything. [SysSocket] Adapter.0.Name="ETH0" Adapter.0.EnableSetIpAndMask=1 Adapter.1.Name="ETH1" Adapter.1.EnableSetIpAndMask=1 Regarding your second suggestion, could you please expand a bit on that?

This came up again today, so I'll post the fix for future reference. Happens with Schneider Machine Expert 2.2 and M262 controllers. Add this bit of code to a program called from the visu task //disable "VisuFbFrameBase.SetInputPositionData" log messages, which fill up the logs IF VisuElems.Private_Visu_Globals.g_ValueChangedListenerManager.GetListenerCount() > 0 THEN VisuElems.Private_Visu_Globals.g_ValueChangedListenerManager.RemoveValueChangedListener(VisuElems.Private_Visu_Globals.g_ValueChangedListenerManager.listenerForOnValueChanged); END_IF

To change the current visualization for (all) webclients: Add the library “Visu Utils” and use the following example code: VAR xChangeVisu: BOOL; fbChangeVisu : VU.FbChangeVisu; END_VAR // Change to Visu2 when setting xChangeVisu to TRUE fbChangeVisu( xExecute:= xChangeVisu, xDone=> , xBusy=> , xError=> , itfClientFilter:= VU.Globals.OnlyWebVisu, //itfFilter, eError=> , sVisuName:= 'Visu2'); IF fbChangeVisu.xDone OR fbChangeVisu.xError THEN xChangeVisu := FALSE; END_IF

Post by davemansell on explicit cast ENUM to UINT and vice versa ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
This is from sometime ago but below might help someone else; this could be done via POINTERS. Make sure you protect for NULL pointers etc if you take this approach. // DECLARATION myEnumValue : enumMyEnum; u8 : USINT; pmyEnumValue : POINTER TO enumMyEnum; pu8 : POINTER TO USINT; // CODE pu8 := ADR(u8); pmyEnumValue := pu8; myEnumValue := pmyEnumValue^; // dereference the pointer

I have exactly the same problem and tried entering “ForceIecFilePath=0” in the file “CODESYSControl.cfg” ([SysFile]). Unfortunately, this was unsuccessful. Can anyone help in the meantime, e.g., with some sample code or with the FAQ that TimvH refers to above (link no longer works)? Many thanks and best regards

Hello, I don't really know what my problem was, but it's working for me at the moment. All i did was to change my code because of some REAL_TO_INT conversions, like i wrote above. And later a complete new Pi setup (because of 64x support with 4.10.0.0 now).

Hello Jusito, Can you share your final code, please ? I tried to implement a similar feature (going online, doing the reset and the start). But I get a timeout on the reset/start when I'm testing the script. If you got something working, I would appreciate to see it.

Hi, gseidel. Thank you so much for your advice. I have created a program to preprocess G-code as follows 1.SMC_ReadNCFile2 2.SMC_Interpreter 3.SMC_CheckVelocities Then I put SMC_OUT_QUEUE in SMC_Interpolator. Where should I insert SMC_SmoothMerge and SMC_SmoothPath? Or are there any example link for it ?

Call 10 FB instances. Connect Motor_1_Fault to the i_xHW_FaultDetected pin of FB 1, Motor_2_Fault to FB 2... By doing this, your FB will be flexible. The programming will be smooth like a perfect Drift Boss, instead of "hitting the wall" because it can't be reused!

Recipe Manager will load windows explorer view and allow file name to be typed in or existing file selected but will not create a new file or overwrite an existing. Will not create a file in the default folder or even a defined folder like "c:\recipes\" although it does properly navigate to that folder location. I made sure the folder is not read-only. Can't figure out what is missing...
