Post by warrumungi on Opening a Dialog on a specific Client from ST ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi Thanks, Manuel, for providing this solution and insight. I too had exactly the same problem as you did. While I did implement a custom filter, I'd also like to point out what jinlee mentioned above...I see no reference to VU.PublicVariables.Clients.Current anywhere?? In my case I only needed to show a dialog on a "master" client, not all the clients, so I filtered by IP address to do this.

Post by durallymax on Access Variable Visu Dialog ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Is there a way to access the variable in the called dialog? Example: Text Field element with PLC_PRG.myVar as Text variable. OnMouseClick configured to write variable with keypad pop-up. OnValueChanged configured to Execute ST RND(PLC_PRG.myVar,2); Rather than change myVar with each copy of this Text Field, is there a way to access whatever the configured text variable is? Generally try to stay away from ST in visu, but was curious regardless.

Post by rene-h on VU.FbOpenDialog - TargetVisu - 2 x WebVisu ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, i am trying to find a way how to open Dialogs on a Single Visu. The options from VU.Globals are Target and WebVisu, but Webvisu opens the Dialog on both WebVisus and it should be separated. CurrentVisu can only be used when the Dialog is called from the Visu, but its all done in the Code. One Webvisu is for the User and one is for diagnostic reasons, and they should not be interfered from each other. Maybe someone can help me with this. Thanks

Post by kirsipr on Color of empty table and table header ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I have managed to change my dynamic visu table colors with the template for each column to dark like my rest of the webvisu background is. How ever the empty table (when not populated) and the table header stays white / gray. Is there same way to modify the colors of header and empty table?

Post by dkugler on Management of a PLC network from a remote station ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I would figure out, how to create a simple html webpage with 2 frames. One frame with buttons to select the plc. A second frame with hyperlink to the webvisu of the plc ("XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:8080/webvisu.htm"). Selecting other PLC Button has to change the hyperlink in 2. frame. Costs only some time to figure out :-) Or setup a raspberry Pi with small visualization. Set up a button for each plc and add one browser element. Each button writes the URL of the depending plc to the URL setting of the browserelement. Costs 55€ for runtime licence and a Raspberry Pi.

Hello I have just posted on a topic - about the reference for the element you have taken a screen shot for - "REFERENCE TO VisuUserMgmtProvider" https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/Visualization/thread/0591457fe4/ - do you know anything about it?

This is still a huge problem. Does someone know how to update the frame references (not manually for every frame-element...)?

Hello, thanks for the answer, that helped a little. How to achieve this behavior automatically when importing from a library, there can be a lot of dialogs from different librarys?

Double click on the device (communication settings). At the top of this Window, go to Device -Options. Disable the option "Confirmed online mode".

In the device selection. Do not filter on Phoenix. Remove this filter and first add an Ethernet Adapter from CODESYS. To this Ethernet adapter add the Profinet Controller. After this you can filter on Phoenix devices in the "add device dialog".

just add in /etc/CODESYSControl_Usr.cfg [CmpRasPi] Architecture=armv7l for the 32Bit MC version... this is what this dialog does (or at least should do)

Ich habe das für die Visu anders gelöst. Ich nehme ein Dialog welches Stunden, Minuten und Sekunden einzeln hoch/herunter wählen lässt. Das Ergebnis wird nachdem bestätigen automatisch übergeben. Ich hab mir es aus dem Wagomacros abgeschaut.

Hello Tim, I am using CODESYS Visu V4.8.1.0. It works when I turn off the "Support client animation and overlay of native elements". But if I do that, dialog box moving and other options are also disabled so it is a bit problematic. Thank you for helping.

Post by plunje on Sensor not set ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
A got a larger project but this very small example makes it clear. I have a button, and after it's clicked a lamp should flip on and stays on, and when the mouse-button is released it should stay on. When I try that in the PLC_PRG it works, but when I change it to a function block (seet attched demo proj) it isn't. I'm fairly new to PLC programming but are very experienced C# engineer, but this goes above my head...

Post by ben1 on How to stay in a method until something is finished. ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Why must you use a method? Top of my head can't you just use the button to turn on a bit and use it in a normal task? Just turn a bit on with the button, and run a TON from it in code, and turn it back off with the ton. And then just log the pressure on both the rising & falling edge?

Post by open on How to create a stopwatch? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi @ph0010421, I tried the program the TimeTaken is calculated when stop is triggered. I want the TimeTaken to be continuously calculated and counting when a BOOL variable is true. I tried to program this way: Declaration: PROGRAM PLC_PRG VAR bStartStop: BOOL := FALSE; // Start/Stop button bReset: BOOL := FALSE; // Reset button bRunning: BOOL := FALSE; // Flag indicating whether the stopwatch is running tStartTime: TIME; // Variable to store the start time tElapsedTime: TIME; // Variable to store the elapsed time END_VAR Implementation: // Main program logic IF bReset THEN // Reset button pressed, reset the stopwatch bRunning := FALSE; tElapsedTime := T#0s; ELSIF bStartStop THEN // Start/Stop button pressed, toggle the running state IF bRunning THEN // Stop the stopwatch bRunning := FALSE; ELSE // Start the stopwatch bRunning := TRUE; tStartTime := tElapsedTime; END_IF; END_IF // Update the elapsed time when the stopwatch is running IF bRunning THEN tElapsedTime := tElapsedTime + T#1s; // Adjust the time increment as needed END_IF However counting of the seconds is not accurate. I tried changing the main task cycle time interval to 1000ms. The counting of seconds become slower. (see attached) Please help
