Post by nano on Map in Codesys ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
There are several versions, u can use an recipt, shm, perstance variables, persistsnce manager. all these ways has some pro's and con's and some of them depending on preparation of the controller byself. others depending on your functionalies and dependencies on project. for all of these ways, you can find the informations on the onlinehelp or from controller-oem

Post by matthew on Persistence Manager Backup ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
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 Eschwellinger, sorry for so late reply but I found a solution back then; uninstall completely Codesys V3x64 and re-installed Codesys V3x32 to properly note the password I created and everything went ok. thank you for your suggestion and have a good day/evening Mike

I am evaluating a Toradex product for use with CODESYS. Toradex and CODESYS are partners, but using "CODESYS Virtual Control for Linux ARM64 SL" together with a carrier board "Verdin mallow" However it doesn't seem to be a soft container for licenses. So how do I install a license

We used this with shared memory codesys. and work. OpENer is an EtherNet/IP™ stack for I/O adapter devices; supports multiple I/O and explicit connections. And we adapt this also for Implicit message. But for arrive to the end we spend a lot of time. :-(((

Hi, how should that work? You need to download the example project and you need that structure of the project and one of the additional hardware sets https://forge.codesys.com/drv/sm3raspistepper/home/Home/ L298N or A4988, DRV8880. Important to have no GPIO in the project and have this additional tasks.

Hi! thanks for reply. We tested the configuration you proposed as well; however, when the cable between the controller and the switch was disconnected, the Active and Standby roles were swapped. Did you observe the same behavior in your configuration using WAGO and Beckhoff?

Post by axberry on CODESYS Control for Raspberry Pi 5 - "Hardware version or firmware version not supported" on Rev 1.1, persists across multiple runtime versions and OS images ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, I'm trying to run CODESYS Control for Raspberry Pi SL on a Raspberry Pi 5, and the runtime consistently fails to start with the following error when launched manually: ooops... this runtime was built for RASPBERRYPI. Hardware version or firmware version not supported! (-18, 0x00000BB8, 0xFFFFFFFB) Hardware: Raspberry Pi 5 Model B Rev 1.1 Revision code: d04171 CPU: aarch64, BCM2712 Serial number is correctly exposed via /proc/cpuinfo and /proc/device-tree/serial-number /proc/device-tree/model correctly reports "Raspberry Pi 5 Model B" What I've tried (all resulting in the same error): CODESYS Control for Raspberry Pi SL 4.11.0.0 (SDK 3.5.19.61) — the version that introduced Pi 5 support CODESYS Control for Raspberry Pi SL 4.21.0.0 (SDK 3.5.22.20) — latest available Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm (64-bit) with kernel 6.12.93+rpt-rpi-2712 (June 2026 build) Fresh install on Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm (64-bit) with an older image from November 24, 2025 — same error, ruling out a kernel-version regression Bootloader/EEPROM confirmed up to date (rpi-eeprom-update reports "up to date") Clean purge and reinstall of the codesyscontrol package each time (verified via dpkg -l, no leftover files) Verified /etc/codesyscontrol/3S.dat correctly symlinks to /etc/codesyscontrol/3S_aarch64.dat The service starts (systemctl status briefly shows active (running) with a real PID under /opt/codesys/bin/codesyscontrol.bin), but crashes shortly after and the process disappears — port 11740 never opens. Since this happens identically across two different runtime versions and two different OS images (5+ months apart), it doesn't seem to be a kernel/firmware timing issue. Could this be specific to the Rev 1.1 board revision, or is there a known issue with the hardware detection logic in the SL runtime that I should be aware of? Happy to provide full debug logs (-d flag output) or journalctl output if useful. Thanks in advance!

Post by jeffgamsby on Accessing ModbusTCP addresses from python ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, I am new to modbusTCP and I am trying to access Input registers from codesys (3.5.SP13). The offset is 16#0000 and I am trying to access Channel 1[24] %IW24 to pull analog values. I am using pyModbusTCP and I need to supply a modbus address and the number of registers to read. What does 16#0000 mean in terms of the actual offset, how do I translate this number plus the channel to access this info via python? Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Post by voffi on Converting UINT into bytes and converting 2Bytes into UINT ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
There are some ways. One is to use SHR and SHL and it depends on your byte order in the data array. For Motorola byte order: PROGRAM PLC_PRG VAR u : UINT; byte_array_in : ARRAY [1..8] OF BYTE := [16#11, 16#12, 16#13, 16#14, 16#15, 16#16, 16#17]; byte_array_out : ARRAY [1..8] OF BYTE; END_VAR u := SHL(TO_UINT(byte_array_in[2]), 8) + TO_UINT(byte_array_in[1]); byte_array_out[1] := TO_BYTE(u); byte_array_out[2] := TO_BYTE(SHR(u, 8)); If it's Intel byte order just change 1 and 2 in the array indexes.

Post by srouse on PFC200BUS not running ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I started a project in codesys for a WAGO 750-8212 PLC and I am working on getting online with the controller. I can log in to the controller and I can see and control all of the fieldbus couplers that I have. I am unable to get the internal bus working. It just says that the bus is not running and when I scan or devices nothing shows up. Am I missing something important in my device tree?

Post by spilin on All devices lost for all installed version ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
hello. After installing the latest version of codesys (3.5.20) from codesys installer, I had a problem. All my devices disappeared. Both PLCs and IO modules and network devices disappeared from my list. I browsed through the Windows files and I can find them in the programdata/codesys/devices folder. The files remain there, but they are not available within codesys (same error in all installed versions) which in this case are 3.5.16 and 3.5.19. Does anyone know how I can reimport or resynchronize my devices folder again? Thanks
