Post by jeffersonhui on SysProcessExecuteCommand2 terminate ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, I am using the SysProcessExecuteCommand2 function from the SysProcess library to run the candump command in the PLC's Linux environment. However, the candump command stays running indefinitely. If I was running the candump command from a terminal (via PuTTy, etc), that command usually requires Ctrl+C to terminate. Is there a way to terminate a command that is executed with SysProcessExecuteCommand2?

Post by koppit on SysComRead Timeout Parameter ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Im using SysCom ver. 3.5.17.0 and seem to have the same issue on a Raspberry Pi. It's not waiting for the requested number of bytes, no matter if "ulTimeout := SYS_INFINITE" or any other value. The only solution I have found is to stall the program to allow the serial port to recieve the data.

Post by snguyen on Any ways to prevent Infinite scroll when moving an object to the left or top edge? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I've been making few HMIs and I'm starting to get annoyed that whenever I try to align an object to the left or top side of the frame, it quickly scrolls into that direction infinitely. Is there a way to prevent that?

Post by denizerm on Deploy Control SL cant find Podman ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I found something that might be the main cause for this: /etc/os-release features the ID=debian entry on my reference system; When i temporarily override my DUTs os-release to feature ID=debian or similar its able to detect Podman. Is there a way to fix this behaviour?

Post by kporter on SoftMotion, accessing PDO input data via object ref/pointer ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Now that SP21 is out, what's the answer? I want to get a pointer to the TxPDO and RxPDO structs. I can generate a STRUCT declaration from the ESI file with a bit of Python. I just need to get the pointer from the ETC_Slave.

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.

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 seler on Custom button with output status ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, Im struggle with making custom button. The idea is simple grey light bulb after touch (input var) it changes to yellow but shows output var status not switch status. So if light is physically on, switched by physical switch, bulb is also yellow. How to do it?

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

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.

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.

Hallo, kann mir jemand was zu dieser Fehlermeldung sagen: Mitteilung vom Gerät: “Alarm online change executed but license for Online Configuration Change not aviable!” Habe erst letzte Woche noch auf dieser Steuerung (PFC300, FW30) eine Programmänderung gemacht und hat alles funktioniert. Die Meldung kommt am Schluss, wenn ich einen Online change gemacht habe. Dann geht die Steuerung mit Ausnahmefehler auf Stop.

Wie bekomme ich eine HIGHRes Zeit in Millisekunden. Und diese Zeit nicht in UTC sondern mit der Zeitzone verrechnet..... Und reicht es die Zeitzone mit "SysTimeRtcSetTimezone" zu setzen oder muss die Zeitzone im Linux (PC) gesetzt werden ?

Post by mariussandu on OPC-UA ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, I am experiencing an intermittent OPC UA server issue on CODESYS Control for Raspberry Pi SL 4.21.0.0. Runtime information: codesyscontrol 4.21.0.0 Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.1 - 4Gb OPC UA Server: CmpOPCUAServer 3.5.22.x Server IP: 192.168.0.110 OPC UA endpoint: opc.tcp://192.168.0.110:4840 The main OPC UA client is Node-RED running on 192.168.0.111. This has an active subscription with some tags and also some write functions active. The system normally works correctly for a period, but at some time the OPC UA communication stopped. Node-RED started reconnecting continuously but could not reconnect. I also tried connecting using UaExpert, but UaExpert returned: BadTimeout At the same time, the PLC application itself was still running. Before restarting CODESYS, I captured the TCP connections. The OPC UA server was still listening: tcp 11 0 192.168.0.110:4840 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN However, there were many connections from the Node-RED client stuck in CLOSE_WAIT: 192.168.0.110:4840 192.168.0.111:45008 CLOSE_WAIT 192.168.0.110:4840 192.168.0.111:53678 CLOSE_WAIT 192.168.0.110:4840 192.168.0.111:44032 CLOSE_WAIT 192.168.0.110:4840 192.168.0.111:36612 CLOSE_WAIT 192.168.0.110:4840 192.168.0.111:45012 CLOSE_WAIT 192.168.0.110:4840 192.168.0.111:36592 CLOSE_WAIT ... Some of these sockets also had data remaining in Recv-Q, for example: Recv-Q = 61 Recv-Q = 121 There were roughly 15–20 OPC UA connections in CLOSE_WAIT. Restarting only the CODESYS runtime immediately restored OPC UA communication. After restart: LISTEN 0 10 192.168.0.110:4840 and both Node-RED and UaExpert can connect normally again. There are no obvious OPC UA errors during startup or in log. On RPI 2 I had a memory leak regarding OPCUA so I had to upgrade to RPI4. What can I do in this case? Thank you!

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
