Thank you for your answer. The build > Generate Code start the code of the application but does not modify the compileinfo. I work with .projectarchive to avoid this kind of problem. I would like to have the possibility to modify the compileinfo by myself so I can indicate the losses information.

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!

Hi Helpers I'm trying to work with stepper motor on Rasp 5 for the first time. So I'm pretty new.😥here. I've used: https://forge.codesys.com/drv/sm3raspistepper/home/Home/ but I get the following error when I insert. I also get 6 errors when I "rebuilder" after installering "SM_Drive_RaspStepper_direct" from the tree. Hope there is help for me. Thanks in advance /Klaus

Hallo an alle, ich schaue mir gerade ein paar 22kW Wallboxen an: https://shop.einfacheauto.de/collections/22-kw-wallboxen Mir wäre vor allem wichtig, dass die Kommunikation per Modbus gut funktioniert. Es werden zwar ein paar Wallboxen gelistet, die Modbus ermöglichen, trotzdem wollte ich euch nach Erfahrungen fragen, welche Modelle in der Hinsicht besonders problemfrei funktionieren.

Hello, Basically, everything is clear to me. There's still the issue of a TimeProvider for an external device. This may be a stupid question, but I can't find this package. And of course, the question is, can the RPi machine be an external provider? Has anyone tested such a solution?

Post by eschwellinger on Deploy LicenseServer for Linux SL ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
As I see from your logs I think the Timeprovider is not accurate enough in your case. Things to check - at the moment you run it on the same device? (for tesing purpose ok) I would set 127.0.0.0 as IP and set it not really to Core 0 ( many other stuff is there)

Post by gseidel on SMC_ERROR SMC_CGR_INVALID_POSPERIOD ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi blitz, that usually means that the modulo period, when converted to increments, is larger than 2^31. (The bus bandwidth is usually 2^32.) What is your "technical unit", do you program in angular degrees? And what is the modulo period? If you want you can post the drive configuration (screen shot of the "General" and "Scaling/Mapping" page). Best regards, Georg

https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/Engineering/thread/632c29cb93/#8d94 The above comment is the best, but if you just want to see it work you can try disabling the distributed clock. It's not the right thing to do but it should resolve that error.

Post by gseidel on Can't get SMC_SmoothPath to work ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi bertus, thanks for the additional information. Setting bAbort on a restart is not needed. Calling all FBs starting from the decoder up to checkvelocities with bExecute = FALSE and then giving a new rising edge on bExecute is what should be done. Do you also restart the Interpolator? (I don't think that has anything to do with the issue, but still...) Best regards, Georg

Thanks Georg for responding. I have followed the suggestion mentioned in the real time problem. However, it does not solve the problem. The weird part is, the robot stops at the same position randomly and it does not stop when I increase the speed of the motion.

Here I have attached the task monitor data. What is very weird is that I am using MC__MoveDirectAbsolute FB, when I choose Vel/ACC/Jerk Factor to 1.0 it run fine. It ran 10 hours without the issue. But I get the error randomly when I use factor as 0.5

Post by blitz on Can't get SMC_SmoothPath to work ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi @bertus I have a similar situation: just like in your case I can see that rounding works correctly only for the first element, additionally in my case on a path made of lines where I am testing this every second line is skipped. The interpolator jumps to every second iActObjectSourceNo.

Hello, You could not run EtherCAT-Softmotion drives with LMC201 PLC. This Controller has an EtherCAT master but only to run simple I/O devices. You could not use this EtherCAT master on the LMC201 for Motion. Schneider PACdrive Controller use SERCOS and only own drives (LXM62 with Sercos) for motion.

Post by timvh on <Dereference of invalid pointer> ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Yes, this can be fixed by setting the correct reference to the structure.... But by only the given information it is impossible to say what you did wrong. Maybe you can start by first creating an instance of the structure within the program to see how this works.

for the package you net to install 32bit support(to have the native timprovider availble to deploy) sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 Then native Safeplc and native Safetimeprovider should be available to install. Raspi yes - but there is no official package available till now and you need have a rt_preemt patched kernel on the Pi, then it works like charm

Took me a while to work on this again. I testes today with a fresh setup and it works now. My OneWireCycle tasks runs for around 10seconds. I guess my mistake was that I put the cycle task for the OneWire Task to a too small number. Thx for the support!

Post by eschwellinger on NO SIGNAL ON POWER_ON FOR STEPPER MOTOR ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, how should that work? You need to download the example project and you need that structure of the project and one of the additional hardware sets https://forge.codesys.com/drv/sm3raspistepper/home/Home/ L298N or A4988, DRV8880. Important to have no GPIO in the project and have this additional tasks.

Post by osande on Trend/trace data ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Ok, the problem is that the trend/trace system can't read function block instance data. The variables has to be stored directly under the program calling the FBs. Thus, FB variables to be trended/traced must be connected to variables declared in the program. Seems like a bug to me!

Post by thierry-b on Blocking UDP ports 1740–1743 and 22350 to disable CODESYS network scan (startup + device discovery) ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I am currently investigating the network behavior of CODESYS 3.5 (IDE + Gateway) in environments where the engineering workstation is connected to a very large /16 network. In such networks, the automatic device scan performed at IDE startup (and the manual “Scan Network” device discovery) can cause significant delays or freezes, due to the broadcast‑based discovery mechanism. After analyzing the traffic with Wireshark, I identified that the IDE uses the following UDP ports: 1740 – broadcast discovery 1741 – handshake / responses 1742 – fallback discovery 1743 – fallback handshake 22350 – additional runtime / gateway communication (WAGO, debug, extended discovery) To prevent the IDE from scanning the large /16 network, I tested blocking these ports in both directions (IN/OUT) on the network interface connected to the /16 segment (while keeping them open on the OT /24 network interface). Result: When UDP 1740, 1741, 1742 and 1743 are blocked on the IT interface, the IDE no longer sends any discovery traffic on that interface. The IDE still works normally on the OT interface (device discovery, online mode, download, etc.). Blocking port 22350 does not seem required to stop the scan, but I included it for completeness. My question: => Can you confirm that blocking UDP ports 1740, 1741, 1742, 1743 (and optionally 22350) on a specific network interface is a valid and supported way to completely disable the CODESYS IDE network scan on that interface (both at startup and during manual device discovery)? I am not trying to block communication with controllers on the OT network — only to prevent the IDE from scanning the large /16 IT network. Any confirmation or additional technical details about the discovery mechanism would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Georg, the encoder's actual position was -208 because I moved it manually for testing, but I managed to get it working. Your information is correct; there was a parameter error, Kp was at 0. After I adjusted it, it responded as expected. Thank you very much for your help.

Hello Simon, Thank you for your response. The problem occurs after about 10 online changes, after this a full download is required, but that means that the installation is going down. Is it possible to enlarge the space reserved for online changes, so that the problem occurs after 100 online changes for example? Kind regards Alex

Post by alexgooi on Network variable stops sending ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Are you making use of structs in the NVL? In the past I had similar behavior (NVL stops sending) when I added something in the struct. if you are making use of structs makes sure that the structs are identical in both projects. If this is not the case, have you tried changing the port number to something different than 1202?
