This is why I make sure to read these forums. I apologize for not giving you good information @mandeepahujaifm I do have a question for you @mprestel , please forgive my ignorance. I'm trying to find information on g_SelectionManager and I can't seem to find anything. I don't see anything in the help file and when I look at the documentation for the VisuElems library in the library manager I don't see anything. There is an example project on the store and that does make sense to me, or at least I...

I didn't, I hesitated to download something from someone I didn't know. But I'll download it and take a look. I had thought you were talking about the frame color. After looking at it to me that does look like the frame color. For an image like that instead of specifying the frame and fill color you just specify the frame color for the normal state and alarm state. And you can't specify fill color. To be honest though I'm not sure how you're navigating with the arrow keys so I might be wrong. I'm...

You want to setup the PLC as a modbus tcp/ip slave/master? You can find the help file for that here. Basically you add it to your device tree and then set it up. You can Right click on your device in the device tree, add device, add an Ethernet Adapater. Not an EtherNet/IP adapater, that is an ethernet industrial protocol adapater. Then select that new ethernet adapter, your add device window will update, now add either a Modbus TCP Master or a Modbus TCP Slave device. The Codesys admin's will know...

There are a few ways you can change an element's colors. The first step for both is to make sure you have the advanced/expert box ticked in the elements properties tab. Then you can use the Color Variables "Toggle Color" to toggle between the Normal State Colors and the Alarm State Colors. The second way is to write the color directly to either the normal or alarm state color variables under color variables.

Do you mean that you're trying to establish profinet communication between a codesys softplc running on your computer and the devkit or that you're trying to use the netHat on a Raspberry Pi and trying to set it up within the Codesys programming software? You might get more knowledgeable answers from the Hilscher forum.

The automation server is definitely the best way but if this is just for personal use there are a few ways that won't cost 80€ + minor data fees a month after this year. You can configure a vpn exit node on your home network and VPN into it so that you can connect to it outside of your home. Wireguard might work for you and might already be on your Pi. A router that allows you to VPN into the network like Phoenix contact's MGuard is the professional version of that. You could also setup teamviewer...

Good catch. But what if you wanted to do something based on the login status. Like change the current visu variable, or change other variables. I can think of maybe a few things to do with it. How would you read that? I would have guessed that the VUM_ReturnValues structure would allow that.
-
I have not tinkered with that like you have. There are a number of variables present in VUM_ReturnValues as part of the VisuUserMgmt library. Here is a link to the library documentation. https://help.codesys.com/webapp/idx-VisuUserMgmt_Itfs-lib;product=VisuUserMgmt_Itfs;version=3.5.9.0

It is part of the free version and included with a normal Codesys install. As far as I'm aware it does not allow you to specify a location to save the logs to though. I normally see it log to PlcPrg/ac_datalog. You can use the CAA_File library to copy and paste that file to something like removable storage. However it is still using write cycles on where ever it is initially storing that data.

That does look good. Project Link for other people. I apologize, I was talking about the Codesys Talk pages rather than project pages. This is a personal preference but I also hate places that require you to know the formatting syntax requiring you to type out everything. Forcing you if you don't know it to be constantly referring to the Formating Help page. Reddit is a good example of that. It's just easier to click a button and have it insert the formatting. The only thing here like that that pops...

This shouldn't be in the Codesys 2.3 section since it looks like you're using codesys 3.5? You need to stop and close the codesys runtime on the PLC to be able to copy those files. Just stopping the application from running isn't enough. Maybe a batch file executed on the device would copy it. Though it also might be the Sqlite files you need, which have the same restrictions. At least on the codesys version from Eaton the recorded data isn't in the xml file. But then it doesn't save it to it's own...

Though it might be the Sqlite files you need. At least on the codesys version from Eaton the recorded data isn't in the xml file. But then it doesn't save it to it's own folder named Trend either. On Eaton devices those trend files are located in the visu folder.

You can take a look at this in the meantime. Though it is not a finished project. https://forge.codesys.com/prj/mqttsparkplugb/home/Home/

How about using the OnDialogClosed feature from the Input Configuration. Viewable if you put the properties tab into expert/advanced mode. You can have structured text that toggles a variable then you can have logic somewhere that do something and reset that variable. Or have the ST do something else. You could also just monitor that variable for any changes and then do something if it does change. In ladder logic I would use the EQ or NE function block possibly followed by R_Trig or F_Trig. An example...

You can find the raw data @ ....PlcPrg\Visu You will find an sqlite file with the name <application>.<trendname>.sqlite</trendname></application> If you want something thats a little easier try the datalog manager. I don't know of a way to get the trend to display local time. The closest that I know of is to write the local time as the UTC time. You'd need to do that when daylight savings time changes occur. You can do that with the function blocks RTCLK.GetDateAndTime and RTCLK.SetDateAndTime. From...

Hmmm. I took a quick look at the IECVarAccess library and I'm out of my depth there. Sorry! You could include the symbol file by adding it to you application in the device tree, then open it and parse it. That also seems less than ideal. You might need IIoT Libraries SL from the Codesys store so you can use the XML Utility SL. But my advice is pay for a support ticket and get advice there.

It seems that the Formatting Help doesn't have any information on quoting? Personally I would find the ability to do that very helpful. It's nice for making it clear what information you're pulling from another source. Another forum feature that would be very nice is the spoiler option. Not because there are spoilers but because you can hide long lengths of text, like code, or pictures so that a post is easier to read. Hiding images also makes it easier for people on mobile or in low bandwidth situations...

Are these Codemeter licenses? If so the below page will help you. https://www.wibu.com/magazine/keynote-articles/article/detail/borrowing-and-transferring-licenses.html It looks like this page might also be helpful to you. https://help.codesys.com/webapp/_cds_cmd_license_repository;product=codesys;version=3.5.11.0 -----Copied from the page----- Command ‘License Repository’ Return allowed: It is possible to have this license deactivated so that it can be re-activated on another system.

I think if you do a few searches on this forum you'll find a lot of answers. Starting with version 3.5.15.0 the softmotion license is only available as a seperate product that you need to pay for. If you want to use it for free you'll be restricted to version 3.5.14.40 of the library. The only PWM boards I know of with easy control from the Pi use I2C. You'd need to write something for a board that uses SPI if I2C won't be fast enough. The GPIO can not be configured as an interrupt. From what I've...

@johant Sorry I'm a bit confused, entirely on my end. Do you mean writing a variable to a channel without using the modbus function codes? As in instead of writing register 100 with function code 6 you want to send 6x0100 or something like that? I'm not sure if I'm correct about it being 6x0100 so I apologize if I'm incorrect. I honestly don't know. Try looking at the IoDrvModbus library. https://help.codesys.com/webapp/_mod_f_libraries;product=core_modbus_configuration_editor;version=3.5.15.0

In the Oscat Basic library there is a function block called UTC_TO_LTIME that should be what you're looking for. It does allow for daylight savings time changes so you'll need to know if for a given timestamp if DST is active. Also in Oscat Basic is another function block called DST that will check for a given UTC if DST is active. It seems mislabelled in the documentation I have as DT2_TO_SDT.

What you could do is have buttons that change the read variables to 0. So lets say you're reading 3 variables, var1, var2, and var3. You could use the SEL function block as an input to var1.1, var2.1, and var 3.1. You then have the trace graph Var 1.1, 2.1, and 3.1 instead of var1, 2, and 3. Otherwise you could use the datalog manager to make a nice .cvs file that you can import into excel.

@davewkoenig Super interesting project. Unfortunately I can't justify buying any servo drives right now. What do I see connected to the raspberry pi 4? Is that the Opto IO? Did you use USB boot or network boot to get around SD corruption issues? Or just having a spare SD card on hand? Did you use a codemeter USB key for storing those licenses? Are you willing to share your program? Sorry I ask because it looks like you were above. I don't want to use it I just want to look at it and learn. I've never...

There is another option for you. The DataLog Manager can set up logging like you're talking about. It can store as a CSV, it can be set to log data when hysteresis values are hit, like changes 0.1 degrees. The only issue is that is saves this data to flash memory. You can't direct it to save it to an SD card or usb drive. It is however super easy to use and is available on the free codesys version. You can then use the file handling libraries like SysLibFile to copy or move over the files either...
