Strucc.c posted a comment on discussion Runtime 🇬🇧
Before creating this topic, I was browsing the search results for CodesysControl.cfg - many results, and I remember very well, it's a problematic issue for a long time. To summarize: there were many requests for documentation on this file - the most comprehensive reply is: https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/Runtime/thread/ebbf851a3d/#eb85 Hi, not really, this is covered by the manual which you get if you use a runtime toolkit which is not free of charge. Maybe we need to extract the config file...

I started to experience the same issue, after upgrading to 3.5.19 , and still persists with 3.5.20.3 , using CodesysControlWinV3 x64 on Windows. Unfortunately, this is a live application, normally it is running for months without interruption - so it was a surprise at the last cold start... It was not possible to go online with the original version, so I couldn't see the application, or system status, just the log message. First time I manually clean the Application from the PlcLogic directory (there...

The issue s the byte order typically in this case. Can be especially problematic with floating point numbers - even more tricky if transferred with a word based protocol. It is a peasant way to try out the alternatives, dword order can be a-b-c-d, b-a-d-c, c-d-a-b, d-c-b-a where a is the most significant, d is the least significant byte. So all you need is to swap the bytes in your dword, until you get the expected result. If you don't want to mess writing code for this, I'd recommend CAA_Memory...

That time it was not answered. But yes, it is possible. Search for "Relative movement" properties of the rectangle element. Might need to enable advanced features in the property browser. https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Visualization/_visu_elem_rectangle.html

Flexible way for text formatting - Another use of ANY type

😁 Yes, exactly... I have a clue about the why not... But really, it was many years, releases ago... Agree, this is not a functionality customers would pay for, but it's one rendering the product cool and contemporary. Like many other "simple" features like: Opening multiple projects within the same IDE Not just attaching, but editing diverse files inside the IDE (like XML, TXT, SVG?) Use 3rd, CODESYS independent plugins, editors inside the IDE... Isn't it possible to integrate CODESYS Engineering...

Update: Meanwhile I understood the meaning of this call. At least I think I did. Roughly: PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG, I AM STILL JUST EXPLORING IoDrvUpdateMapping is not needed, if you take care all of your input / output parameters at IoDrvUpdateConfigurtion, by providing a memory location, where the IoDrv should read/write the parameters from. This is done by assigning a pointer to memory location, probably to a variable instance with the proper type and size the parameter.dwDriverSpecific...

Hmmmm... After messing some hours with that error message, I finally found this ticket - and yes, the solution is suggested in the title. So the module, inputs, outputs were working OK, just this stupid message in the PLC Log. Seems like, in order to implement ICmpIoDrv one have to say something about Module Mapping. Looking at the Parameters for the call, I assume It has stg to do with the possible mapping of parameters to different tasks... Has stg to do with this: As all this was working OK, I...

Hi, I had some issues as well migrating to the new version. What I have learnt: - Have to check all the libraries in the library manager, if they are the proper versions. - Some other parts of the application, maybe an old library referenced by another one can keep the old Ethercat libraries.... Use the "Placeholders" function on the library manager - See if there is a new version available of the slave "devices". Might just have to update them ... I had problems moving from 4.7 to with 4.8, especially...

Dear all, does anyone have experience with HTML5 controls recently? CODESYS 3.5.20.30 / Visualization 4.6.0.0 I'd like to create a simple lightweight text editor, with proper multiline handling, cut & paste, scrolling, etc. And it seems to work fine, just have problems with strings longer than 80 bytes.... Declaring a variable sText1 : STRING(8000) and referencing it in the HTML5 Controls corresponding value property works perfectly one way: the code receive the data as a string (See log1)... (Note...

This... is not very practical for me - as I have a bunch of different classes - it's just doesn't seems to be very practical to define a NULL for each of them... Something like this I use in parameter definitions. For example: VAR_INPUT refVFD_Drive : REFERENCE TO FB_VFD_Drive := GVL_DUMMY.Dummy_VFD; END_VAR I use this to prepare objects for code I don't control: Typycally visualizations - had many troubles with references set on the fly, right before opening a corresponding visualization... And...

Wow.... I missed this one in the manual - so there is a special syntax to invalidate a reference... Great :) Seems to work. (it's just mentionned in the examples line)... I've always assigned 0 to the variable, with := 0 - like setting a pointer to 0. In theory, that should work as well. Thanks!

Dear all, I've just started to migrate some of my ancient projects to SP20. There is one strange error (?) I have noticed so far. In a method call, depending on the circumstances I would like to return reference to an object, or an invalid reference: METHOD Add_EVT_OUT : REFERENCE TO FB_MSG VAR END_VAR IF __ISVALIDREF(refMSG_Entry) THEN Add_EVT_OUT REF= MANAGER.AddMsg_EVT_OUT( refMSG_Entry, _Get_EVT_Message(MSG_EVENT.OUT), _Get_EVT_AddCode(MSG_EVENT.OUT) )^; ELSE Add_EVT_OUT := 0; END_IF So far setting...

That is a different issue you have here: I assume: You have recently updated your Codesys development system, and when opened the project, you selected "Set all to newest" in the upcoming dialog. And / or you have updated your Codesys Control (runtime). If you did not, consider doing it - just make sure you have a good backup of the original version. After updating the development system and runtime, there is one more step to do in your existing project: Go to the device tree, right click on the...

Recently I have noticed, that even if I choose fixed size, webvisu comes up with a reduced resolution. What I see, is "DevicePixelRatio = 1.25. This ends up with blurry fonts, and some scaling problems / some thin lines invisible. While the same visu works perfecly with targetvis, Ratio 1.0: Sharp fonts, proper size. So, what's going on exactly? What is this device pixel ratio, and why isn't it 1? (the generated webvisu meta tag show ratio 1.0...) This is using 3.5.18 SP3 VISU 4.3.

The easiest thing you can do is to add a code to ""OnMouseClick"" input: TestVar:= NOT TestVar; Other option is to bind TestVar to ""Input configuration / Toggle / Variable""

When I finished posting the opening post / question of the topic I had the impression, that it won't be easy to get obvious and clean answer for such a complex value as "performance". It is interesting to see the changes in CODESYS from 2.3 to nowadays. I remember I could barely wait the first release of 5.3 or 5.4 on Moeller XV panel - the object oriented features very promising. That time, and still now I'm hoping to have a development platform that can spare me a lot of time - building reusable,...

"You can also configure a visualization element with a property in those properties where you select an IEC variable. Then CODESYS creates additional code for the property handling when a visualization is compiled." Funny, but the "activate property handling for all visualization" was recently removed (SP17 or 18?)... This might suggest, that it doesn't really matter anymore? "A plus for the interface approach is that you can handle FBs with different logic with the same visualization element. You...

Wow, this is a great resource, thanks 🙏! Recommended reading for everyone... To summarize the (subjectively) most relevant parts: I was not alone to have trouble with SloMachine 😏 "... referenced visualization was not stateless before SP15. Starting with SP15 the referenced data will be updated in each cycle. Before SP15 the referenced data was only assigned once in the start of the application." This, I remember clearly - that's what made it complicated. So, in order to realize a page displaying...

This question was bothering me for a long time, and I'd be happy to receive some explanation from other users or some CDS Visualization guru. Suppose, we have a "sub-visualization" (to be used only inside a frame element of another visualization, or sub-visualization). For example a small P&ID symbol of a valve. I wonder about the performance aspect of the following two alternatives: A) Using VAR_IN_OUT or reference as input variable for the visualization Binding member variables to the properties...

I'm in process of restructuring, rewriting some of my existing code, in order split down reusable components into libraries. One part of this are reusable P&ID symbols to be placed on diagram visualizations, almost like "factory made" visualization controls. With visualization 4.3 there are great features for this (yes, HTML Controls are great, Thanks for that ;-). One of those is Frame configuration. It's mostly intuitive, however based on the existing available documentation I might not get the...

Interesting topic... Can we please get an update or a little bit more explanation of these former system calls - used mostly by library developers? As far as I understand, __vfInit() is to be called on "typed" pointers, typically on pointers to function block types, to execute the init sequence, ie. variable initialization. So... in theory all 3 alternatives should work the same: Declaration: PROGRAM PLC_PRG VAR // Static declaration E0 : FB_TEST; // Dynamic declaration to be used by __NEW() pE1...

Hi, Did you find any solution for this issue?
-
-
Yes, it's quite common. Note that the library is naturally referenced once in the library manager, however you can add multiple EtherCAT masters and underlying topology in the device tree - each of them has to be bounded to one physical or virtual ethernet adapter by MAC address or device ID.

Dear all, The issue seems to be fixed with 3.5.SP18, works fine. P.

Now I tested it briefly, but couldn't get it alive - the problem is that the Master instance tries to get an exclusive lock on the ethernet adapter at program startup (independent from xBusStop)... But I tried something else, and seems to work. Maybe this is an option for you: - Configure single master, and multiple slaves - Set all slaves as optional - This requires to assign a station address for each of the slaves (Actually the station address(-es) can identify your configuration) - Define the...

Yeah... Maybe a simple "Your IP address is blocked" message without any explanation would be sufficient, so that we know to turn on VPN... :) (or turn it off) By the way, what's the situation with Automation server, and remote access features? Is it still possible to communicate with devices in the region? However, I hope all this disaster will end soon, and we can return "being international"...

Wow... Interesting topic :) I assume we're talking about Ethercat... As a first guess I'd try to use the xStopBus input of the individual master instances: I wonder if this can work...

Hi all, I saw some solution was found for this issue already (the bug was about identifying the loopback adapter via MAC address) / to be released with next codesys(?) version... Isn't this part of the Ethercat package now? Is there any temporary fix available until the next release (like changing MAC addr of the loopback adapter?) This would be kind of important, cause I'm looking for commissioning a bunch of remote bus devices, and some of them doesn't have any alternative way to access the configuration...

Do you have any information / estimate on the resolution of this issue?

Wow, Thanks for the information, this problem was haunting me for a while now. Would be nice to get a quick and elegant fix :)
