Hi ducng, please make sure to call all Motion-FBs in the EtherCAT task. In your case, the PLC_PRG should be below the EtherCAT task, not the MainTask. Best regards, Georg

Post by davidbo on How to stay in a method until something is finished. ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
You never stay in a method. You need a block to do that. Something like: VAR button:BOOL:=FALSE; count:UINT:=0; END_VAR IF button THEN //read pressure count:=count+1; IF count>1 THEN button:=FALSE; count:=0; END_IF END_IF

After carefully studying the documentation, I have a question: is a second hardware-independent time source required for the correct operation of the VirtualSafety system?

Thank you for your response. Is there documentation for the commands? I spent a lot of time trying to figure this out. I have a potato computer at home, so I'll have to test this later.

Post by timvh on Access Violation sherd memory ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Maybe it is better to use Interfaces to access the objects instead of pointers. But besides that, is "read_obj_ptr" a method? If yes, you need to call it, so add brackets behind the method call: read_obj_ptr();

Post by gseidel on SMC_ERROR.SMC_AXIS_NOT_READY_FOR_MOTION when using Drive Virtual ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi ducng, you need to make sure that MC_Power.Status is TRUE before you give a rising edge to MC_MoveRelative.Execute. (This is the same for virtual and real axes). Best regards, Georg

Post by durallymax on Source code changes since last download ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
What do the details show? Is it requesting an online change or download? If the compile file is missing, it will request a download. Several things can trigger an online change, if you haven't changed the code, likely libraries. The details should provide some guidance.

I experienced the same problem: using __VARINFO is working only in PRG context, while it crashes if used inside Function Blocks. I would really appreciate if they would fix this issue

Hi George. Thx for the info and recommendation - the robot is running production at customer. But - would you have any information about the states numbers and their different explenations?

Hi kenth1973, no, we do not have this kind of information on internal variables. iPhasingState has been removed and is no longer present in current versions of SoftMotion. Best regards, Georg

Hi kenth1973, it is not a matter of who created the function block. It is just that we don't have, and don't provide, documentation about internal implementation details... Hope you can understand that, Georg

Post by blitz on Can't get SMC_SmoothPath to work ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
So in my case the solution was that I had both smooth path and round path in the code. Both blocks had their own buffer and seemed completely separate but still triggering Execute on both caused the mentioned problems. When I blocked Execute the problems disappeared.
