I'll have a look at this, thanks. Do you maybe know why the C-integration doesn't work? I'm just curious because it was still some effort to create all these files. Ending up with a meaningless error feels very unsatisfying to me...

Hello, I'm coming to you today because I'm trying to make the baudrate and the slave number dynamic. I've tried the "updateComPortSettings" method on the slave device but it doesn't work and gives the "Modbus_COM_Port" an error. Can you tell me how you got this method to work? Thanks in advance for your help jérémy

Hello, I would like to know, if it is possible to use codesys for a visualization of parameters in a controller (not PLC) not programmed using Codesys. I intend to use codesys for the visualiztion, and do not know yet what I may require.

To display the current time, you’ll need to retrieve it from the system clock. In CODESYS, you can use the built-in function SysTime to get the current system time. Here’s an example of how you can use it: VAR dtCurrentTime: DATE_AND_TIME; sTime: STRING(8); END_VAR dtCurrentTime := SysTime(); sTime := TIME_TO_STRING(dtCurrentTime.t); The sTime variable now contains the current time in the format “HH:MM:SSuno online".

Dear, When I use "__NEW" to dynamically create the object "Object_1", and assign this object "Object_1" to another object "Object_2". At this point, I use "DELETE" to release the object from "Object_2". At this time, I cannot judge whether the object has been released normally through "Object_1" (in fact, the object has been released theoretically). Thanks for you help.

I don't know the root cause... But what could help to continue when it seems to hang, is stop the CODESYS (communication) Gateway. Go to the Windows SysTray, find the icon for the Gateway and then stop it and start it again. This will interrupt the connection between CODESYS and your controller.

Post by timvh on Limiting Memory Access of an Array to Within its Bounds
CODESYS Forge

(Post)
Add the object "POU for Implicit Checks" to your application, then select "Bounds check". This will create a function which is automatically called each time an array is write accessed. In the function you can handle "out of bounds" situations. By default it will be limited to its lower or upper bound.

So I think I've found a way to do what I want, but its a not as simple as I thought it would be. Essentially I've got to put my "logic" that decides what the GVL variable should be at the start of every task (rung 1). Then regardless of what the force is the variable will be set to what the logic decides.

I also thought that if I had logic writing a value to this variable, then it would override the force anyway, since I thought that the force request was only applied at the beginning and end of the PLC scan. But this doesn't seem to be the case, the force persists throughout the logic regardless of what I write to the variable with logic

Hi @eschwellinger How does the persistent manager files work on v20? I would Like to upgrade my v19 as I'm still having issues. Sometimes if there is a power cut CodeSys won't load the Persistence Manager files and I have to redownload to the PLC and then copy my backup persistent files and then start the application. I hope it's a lot more robust in v20

Hi I have a large project (which I can't share here), builds take multiple minutes. My computer is reasonably new (i7-10610U, 32gb ram), and I don't think my company will let me upgrade. Is there any way to profile/inspect the build process? My goal is to figure out why builds take so long, then hopefully I can make them faster.

I've been searching through these libraries, syssocket and net base services and they all seem to use the same structure for IP address for the connect function, SOCKADDRESS. At a glance, it doesn't look like that'll work, maybe it's just missing in the documentation somewhere?? I'm wondering if anyone has done it.

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
.
