I have some errors as you can see in the picture when i build the project. I have not been able to trace back to the error and i have no idea where to look at to fix this issue. What is GVL_Io? Is it related to some library?

Hi! I was downloading codesys for a school project, but I cannot seem to find where and how to get the other programming languages. When I try to create a new project, I only get the option to program in structured text. *see problemcodesys.png Does anyone know where I can get the other languages? Thanks in advance, Rik

Hello all, I would like to store some data in text file. I use the soft PLC Win V3x64, on Windows 10. I use the SysFile Library 3.5.17.0. If I store the file directly in the in the directory of the PLC i.e. in '/CODESYSControlWinV3x64/E1FA7ABE/PlcLogic/LogAU.txt' the file is correctly filled with the data. However, If I use an absolute path to a different directory no data is stored in the respective file. Despite the fact that the respective file exists and the Filehandler is correctly opened (see in picture _fdSysFHandle <> -1). // sFileName : STRING := 'LogAU.txt'; // STORES FILE IN ../CODESYSControlWinV3x64/../PlcLogic/LogAU.txt' sFileName : STRING := 'C/Temp/LogAU.txt'// DOES NOT WORK --------------------- // FILE DESCRIPTOR _fdSysFHandle := SysFile.SysFileOpen( szFile:= sFileName,am:= SysFile.AM_APPEND,pResult := ADR(_Result)); Does some have an idea where the problem is, resp. how I can get store a file in an arbitrary directory. Thanks a lot and kind regards Andreas

Post by farren on How to stay in a method until something is finished.

I know I'm thinking about this wrong -- too many decades of procedural and event-driven programming and only a few months of PLC ST programming...... I've created a visualization with a button that when pushed calls a method. I want the method to take a pressure reading, wait one minute and then take another pressure reading. I'm looking for leaks. I'm using TON for the delay. It seems like what is happening is that the method gets called once and it takes the first reading and starts the TON. But then execution continues, leaves that method call, and the second reading never happens. I can force the method to keep running until the whole thing is done with a While loop, but I understand that is considered BAD in PLC programming. If it push the button again to call the method again, it picks up where it left off and if the timer is complete then it runs the remaining code. How do I keep that method running until it is complete with just one call without using a while loop that ties up the PLC for a minute? Thanks! -Farren

depends on if you use PFC200 SL from CODESYS store or the Wago target for the PFC. If you use the SL product you need to setup the interface by a plcshell command...

I had some help from Codesys to debug this problem. It seems there was a problem within the target (a bug?). I only used for a proof of concept. Possibly it will work with a new version of the target

From bash I usually see codesyscontrol.service as the runtime service. Taking a step back, I guess you used Tool > Update RaspberryPi SL interface to install the runtime: what does the info popup window tells you about your destination system?

Hello, I hope someone could help me. I installed the newest Codesys 3.5 SP 20 Patch 1. When loading the demo files from @i-campbell I can upgrade them to the latest version and everthing works on the OPC-UA client side as expected (object "a" is visible, I can use the "ExampleMethod"). Now I * remove the "Information Model", * delete the "OPC_UA_Symbols Objects", * Add "Information Model" again * add "TestRootObjectType" again and "Generate IEC declarations" * and search for mapped instances (to get instance "a" again) Very good still working as expected. Now I delete the OPC_UA_Symbols and add it again referring to the "objecttest" from 16.9.2020. Also I redo the steps from above. The result is now, that I can't see the "a" object in the "Root/Objects" folder. Why ist this and how can I make it running? I think, it could may be a different version of the UA configuration file. I tried to build my own model definition files and got the same problem (but I am really not an expert). When someone has a actual model, which is also running in the actual Codesys I would be very grateful. Or even better, how to make the correct model in e.g. UA Modeler SW (I followed the description https://documentation.unified-automation.com/uamodeler/1.6.0/html/howprojnet_sec.html).

With this kind of motor nominal tourque I can belive that it can be moved very easy. 1,6 Nm is, for example, the torque required for unscrew a small loose cap from a bottle.

... you say 1.6 Nm is only enough torque to unscrew a loose bottle cap ... This the the value of torque: from 1,2 Nm to 1,4 Nm that is cosidered acceptable for an old people. 1,6 Nm the torque considered acceptable for general use caps.

It's all good btw, learned that the runtime doesn't isolate the networks that are involved so changing the ethernet subnets away from the Wi-Fi's subnet was all I needed (maybe some config file changes helped, can't say for certain)

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.
