Post by wayne-riesterer on Assignment Efficiency - Repetitive Assignment vs IF statement ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello Can anyone see any problems with constant assignment as in the following statement: Coils[0] := Coils[0] OR (Buttons[0] AND Sensors[0] > 6); Rather than using the more verbose and vertically-larger: IF NOT Coils[0] AND Buttons[0] AND (Sensors[0] > 6) THEN Coils[0] := TRUE; END_IF Also, is the test expression short-circuited in the latter case? In other words, will the runtime move on after it sees Coils[0] = FALSE AND? Thanks

Post by pistola on Case Function - Multiple Conditions, Is it possible? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Thanks for the information, I ended up just making a long if else statement as each variable had 3 possible options, I figured at least this way it would still work.

You can consider using OR_ELSE: Coils[0] := Coils[0] OR_ELSE (Buttons[0] AND Sensors[0] > 6); https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Development%20System/_cds_operator_or_else.html IF Coils[0] is TRUE, then the rest is not relevant anymore and doesn't have to be evaluated anymore. PS, there is also an AND_THEN https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Development%20System/_cds_operator_and_then.html

Thanks for your responses. I like to write the leanest possible code that I can because it makes it much easier to read/maintain/debug. OR_ELSE is what I was looking for. I wasn't sure if CodeSys short-circuited evaluation and I didn't realize this operator existed. Thanks!

Post by davidmic on What is this ST syntax? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I found some structured text code which contained this statement: bHidden:= TRUE(*NOT _somevariable*) I haven't seen TRUE() used like a function before, and I also haven't seen the enclosing asterisks * * before. What do they do? (sorry if this is a duplicate question, I don't know what words to use to search for this syntax)

Post by mubeta on UNION statement is not supported in the ethercat data exchange ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
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.

Post by alexgooi on Is it possible in the log to see previous shutdown ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi DavidBo, In general Codesys is used to control equipment and an exception is the worst thing that can happen in your installation. If you cannot prevent the exception from triggering, you could implement a Try catch statement, with this solution your controller keeps on running and you are able to handle the exception. __TRY //This statement will trigger an exception Result := 4/0; __CATCH(exc) //Handle the exception HandleException(exc, strExceptionText => strExceptionText); // From the Codesys help file //Create a log file //-------------------------------------------------------- __ENDTRY What you also could do is implement implicit checks, these functions cover most of the exceptions (like dividing by zero) See picture But in general avoid a complete controller shutdown!
