Hello all, I still couldn't find the answer. I wanted to know is if there is a generic EtherCAT slave object already in CODESYS that I can use for anything, remote IO, Drives, VFD's and so on, as long as I match PDO's. Is there such an object? Thank you!
Hello, Without much info, I would assume that this is an optional object on the EtherCAT network and it's either disconnected or the address doesn't match. I would look into the devices manual or contact the manufacturer for further assistance. And, I would have posted a new topic instead of using a non related one... Cheers!
Hello Edwin, Thank you foryour answer but, I believe I was not very clear in my question, sorry. What I wanted to know is if there is a generic EtherCAT slave object already in CODESYS that I can use for anything, remote IO, Drives, VFD's and so on, as long as I match PDO's. Is there such an object? Thank you again!
Hello, I'd like to know if it's possible to add a servo drive as a generic EtherCAT slave (non-Motion). Thank you in advance!
Hello Edwin, I sent the info through CODESYS store my question, as I was afraid that I could be exposing sensitive information here in the forum. Thank you very much!
Hi Edwin, The PLC is already in the automation server so nothing happens when I scan the network, however the PLC show offline (not connected). Please see logs below.

Hello, I couldn't figure what/where the issue was, so I deleted everything from automation server and reinstalled the edge gateway and did the process again. It worked for about a month and then it stopped working again. It presents the same symptom, edge gateway is online but I can't connect to the PLC. Any idea of what could be the issue? Thank you!
Hello, Up until yesterday (2023/11/20) I was able to connect to the PLC remotely with no issues through Edge Gateway. However, today I can see the Edge Gateway online but I can find the PLC even if I do a network scan. Following the same path as janber0206 @ https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/automation_server/thread/e78b11d7e9/, I looked into certificates and found that one of the Trusted publisher certificates has expired earlier today (2023/11/21). Please see image. Questions are: Does it affect...
What worked for me: Use SMC_SetControllerMode and set the nControllerMode to SMC_nocontrol. With that, you can control the drive via Modes of Operation(16#6060) and Controlword(16#6040) directly. Hope that helps, Cheers!
I posted about it around an year ago and still see the same issue. However, it only happens if the device tree is set to Auto Hide. If it's pinned, everything works.
Hello! I'm trying to control a Delta ASDA A3 drive via PDO's. I can control it through MC function blocks (I do have Motion Control license), but I can't through PDO's. I tried, for example, to map Control Word bits directly into EtherCAT I/O Mapping and I tried using ETC_CO_sdoWrite4 function block to write into Control Word. None of the two worked, but interestingly I can read Status Word bits using both ways. Does anyone know what I could be missing? Is it on Codesys side? Is it on Delta ASDA...
Hello, Just an update. I loaded the same application in a different PC (personal) and the project compiles without issues. So, it may be some incompatibility with my work PC. I just need to find out what it is... Cheers! Felipe
Hello again, I forgot to say that I'm using Version 3.5.18.20 Thank you, Felipe
Hello, I'm trying to generate a symbol file to be imported into an HMI project, but as soon as I add the Symbol Configuration to the Application tree there are few errors shown in the message panel. Also, it doesn't show all my variable lists to be selected. And, the project cannot be compiled because of those errors. When I double click on any of the errors there is a pop up screen saying that there is something wrong with IecVarAccess library. How can I fix it? Thank you, Felipe

Hello Reinhard, It was exactly when the issue started. The Visualization package was already installed. All I did was uninstall it and reinstall. Now there is no error no more. Go figure... Thank you! Felipe
Hello, Ever since I installed 3.18.20 I get these errors when I create or load a project for RPi MC. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Felipe
Hello! I've just installed SP18 and when I try to add any object to the application it adds a different object or it returns "Index was outside the bounds of the array." Same error for new and old projects. How can I fix that? Thank you, F
