Hi sonnh, Sorry for the late reply. You can rt patch the kernel for the BBB using the script that is already written and present on board. Follow the instructions in the link below. https://elinux.org/EBC_Exercise_36_PREEMPT_RT This is where it gets tricky. The BBB only has 4 gigs of flash storage onboard. This isn't enough to download and install any more applications as the space to download app scripts to temp memory is virtually not present. You can solve this in two ways. Use an sd card. expand...

Hello, Oymyakon, currently, I have just been using my BBB industrial for development purposes as it makes for a really portable PLC which runs codesys and needs just one cable. I am planning to use a circuit with a super capacitor and Codesys to perform safe shutdowns on a later date (As Ingo suggested). There will be a constant current to one of the Digital I/O and once cut, the beaglebone will run a scrip to shutdown (The super capacitor will power the BBB till it does). If power is back on, I...
Hello Morberis, I have been developing my application with CoDeSys runtime on the BBB for more than two weeks now without any issues. I still get the same warning but the code seems to compile and run fine. Regards, Giri Mugundan Kumar
Hello aliazz, sorry for the late reply. I got it to work. I did the following. I installed the IoT version of debian. I patched in the rt kernel. I installed a gui with LXDE light. Then I ran a webvisu program using the browser on the BBB. Your suggestions helped a lot. Especially the port id of 9090 instead of 8080 as with the RPi. I found the BBB to be rather slow when it came to browser based operations. Do you know of any way to optimize performance?.. Regards, Giri Mugundan Kumar
Hello aliazzz, I am planning to use webvisu from codesys for the HMI. I am able to install the packages for xserver(webserver) on the BBB. Do I need to install chromium-browser and a window manager like openbox to view the HMI screens developed in codesys?. Please note that I am using the IOT image of debian for the BBB. Thank you for your help. Giri
Hello aliazzz, I am planning to use webvisu from codesys for the HMI. I am running into problems configuring the kiosk mode for the BBB. Do I need a webserver installed on the Beaglebone or will codesys install a webserver onto the BBB and all I need to do is flash an IOT image on the target and patch the kernel?. Thank you for your help. Giri
Hello, I have been developing the SanCloud beaglebone black enhanced Industrial version to function as a PLC which runs on CoDeSys. I have had success in pushing the code onto the beaglebone and run it as a PLC. To do so I have done the following. Flashed the latest version of debian onto the eMMC storage. Rebuilt the kernel with a realtime kernel instead (rt_preempt) Insalled Codesys runtime onto the board. Now, I want to use the same Beaglebone board for HMI applications as it runs the plc script...
Hello everyone, I have been trying to interface a Panasonic A6 servo via EtherCAT to a SanCloud BeagleBone Industrial board. Whilst Installing the runtime via SSH in CoDeSys, I ran across this error. The program compiles and runs on the BeagleBoard and have not run into errors so far. I would like to know the significance of the error message. Giri
Hello Edwin, I had mailed RockPi support and was waiting on their reply before I replied to you. The driver they use is the RTL8111G. I am assuming that since all drivers from 8111 family are supported, it should be fine. I am also exploring Linux, albeit am not really well versed in the system. Could you point me over to some resources which can help me patch the kernel to have realtime capability?. Yours sincerely, Giri
Hello, I will be using it as an EtherCAT Master.I do have hard realtime requirements. I will be using a usb to ethernet adapter to solve the network issue. Thank you for the link to patrick's thread. I found it really useful. Giri
Hello everyone, I am trying to implement Codesys Control RTE on an SBC (RockPi X). you can find it at the link below. https://wiki.radxa.com/RockpiX/hardware The ethernet controller it comes with is the Realtek RTL8111F-CG. Is the controller compatible with CoDeSys to use the ethernet port as EtherCAT?. Please advice. sincerely, Giri
