At the top of the Visualisation Properties View, you can enable the "Advanced" options. This will give you access to more properties than what you currently see. There might be a variable linked to the "advanced" colour property where the fill colour is determined by the value of this variable (dword).

CODESYS Forge

Probably the enum from the library doesn't have text support. In that case you need to add your own TextList to the application. In the rectangle you should use the property "dynamic text" to link this object to the textlist which you have created yourself and then link the text index to your enum variable.

Hello, I have two warning on my code, and I would like to understand why. C0540: Attribut 'no_assign' missing for the 'FB_MOdbusReadHolding'. The type of the variable clientTcp is set to 'no_assign'. In this FB, I have done: clientTcp : ModbusFB.ClientTCP; clientRequest : ModbusFB.ClientRequestReadHoldingRegisters; The error comes from clientTcp : ModbusFB.ClientTCP; I am using ModbusFB 4.4.0.0. Thx a lot

UDP has no packet ordering mechanism, and Modbus protocol has no order checking mechanism nor session establishment. I'm sorry but this is false, Modbus IP based have the Transaction Identifier. Transaction Identifier - It is used for transaction pairing, the MODBUS server copies in the response the transaction identifier of the request. Modbus UDP make more sense than Modbus TCP in a local environment.

I changed the interfaces to br0 & br1 as they are designated on the Wago PFC200. That issue is resoved. However, on site I have very high system cpu usage, system as in Linux. Presently it is not known why - my bench system does not exhibit such high system usage. In the past this was due to IGMP network traffic every 250uSec from synchronized inverters.

Hi all, I am using a unionn statement for merge in integer data type some values that are received in byte from the i/o cards, but, using this simple and light technique, is not recognized by the ethercat data exchange and in fact the tags are not updated. In my opinion it's a very big bug.

I added new Gateway and I can see it connected. When I scan the server for PLC, it finds the PLC but when I click the Add To Server button, it shows "PLC was added." in the status. But I can't find the PLC in the list. I tried removing the gateway and re-configure everything again but it didn't solve. Any ideas?

Sounds feasible, but how would I create this object so that both applications would use the same instance of it. If this did work, it's still not really the solution I am looking for as it would mean mapping every variable I want to use on the hmi through this object vs I was hopping all the GVL variables would be available.

Hello I would like an element in my visu to be only visible when a certain Variable is true, currently it is only capable of being normally visible and then invisible if a certain variable is true. Is this possible without programming a new variable to be the opposite of my desired control variable? Thanks.

Problem solved The client modbus cycle time was linked to a task at 500ms. Whereas the channel modbus was at 200ms. Certainly problem of packages synchronisation. I let the client modbus cycle time to be handled by itself (See attachement) --> "Use the bus cyle time parameters" (traduce from french) See attachement

1) In the library manager of your project select "Download missing libraries". 2) In the library manager open the "Placeholders" dialog. In here find the Placeholder which is not referenced to a specific library yet. Click in this line on the Library column and select the latest version of this library.

Bonjour damian177, Je pense que le problème vient du caractère dollar qu'il faudra doubler. La déclaration sans erreur est celle-ci : sURL:WSTRING(1024) := "https://mydomain.pl/api/rce-lte?$$filter=doba eq 2025-03-18"; De plus il faut bien note la chaîne entre guillemet car au dela de 255 caractères , il s'agit de WString au lieu de String.

Hi jbu0105, which error doe you get, exactly? Is it error 11008, SMC_MOVE_INVALID_DYNAMICS? (It might help if you check the "Log" tab in the PLC device and copy the exact error.) Please double-check whether the inputs Velocity, Acceleration, Deceleration, and Jerk of MC_MoveCircularAbsolute have correct (positive) values. Best regards, Georg

OK, I figured out that I can simply define all the sensors as 16 bytes IN/OUT, even if they are not all used. EDIT: The negative effect is that each bit is taken into account as an I/O for the license, even if not used.

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.
