Hey guys, I'm very much a noob with networking, it's my achillies heel, and this is my first networking project using Ethernet/IP. Any help offered is GREATLY appreciated. I'm trying to network a Codesys Project with an Omron NX1P2 PLC. I'm using EIP due to hardware restrains. I've added the fieldbus, EIP scanner (as the master), and made a Network Variable List. On the Sysmac Studio end, I've made the variables and set them to network inputs/outputs, registered them in EIP settings, but when I try...

Hi everyone, so a little update to this, I've come back to this project in the new year, and got it working. Yeah!, However, now with the new licensing setup, I need a new SoftMotion license, but it doesn't seem to be compatible with the previous Raspberry Pi SL license. Has anyone had any luck with Raspberry Pi and SoftMotion_Lite? Specifically the licensing of such? My customers new installation needs to be rebooted every 30min which is causing headaches! Another option is to not use the SoftMotion...

Hi albert1999 and forest, I hope you are well. I too am wondering if you have found any solutions? Im working with a RPi and a Omron R88D-ETH servo amplifier. The SoftMotion is timing out after 30min without the license, but I cant figure out how to license it, and I seem to have some compatibility issues between my RPi license and any SoftMotion licenses. Did you guys have any luck? Thank you very much for any assistance offered. Toby

Hi Edwin, Thanks for the message. My apologies I should have researched this more thoroughly before posting on here. I found a solution to my issue on this post: https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/Runtime/thread/6455efaa17/ I needed to run the 'CODESYS Installer' as an Admin, then install the RPi package v4.10.0 in to my package (v3.5 SP19 Patch 5). Thanks, hope you have a good day. Toby

Hi, Mine is the same, both using v3.5 SP17 patch 6, and v3.5 SP19 patch 5 when using anything newer than v4.8.0 the same issue as above occurs. Checked the 'Customize' window in case it was hidden/disabled in there but couldn't find it. Thanks for the help on this. Toby

Hi Everyone, I have a simple project with a single servo, but its my first time using Codesys and motion, so I'm a little confused and lost, I've tried to read the tutorial online, but I'm not having much luck sorry. Can I please ask for some pointers. I have a ComfilePi HMI (Raspberry Pi) communicating to a Omron R88D-1SN08H-ECT amplifier. Please see the attached project file (which is better for sharing, the project file, or a archive?). This file was simply for testing the motion of the servo...

Hi Singh and All, So it turned out to be two issues... An internal hardware fault when powered via 24vdc was causing the voltage regulator to brownout causing the ComfilePi HMI to restart. When opening up Chromium, it must have added enough load to the regulator to trigger the brownout. By powering the ComfilePi with 12vdc, I haven't had this problem again. I'll be following up to get this hardware fixed. When the brownout occurs, it somehow corrupts the RPi connection to Codesys. As yet I am still...

Hi, My apologizes if this is a simple fix, I've been going in circles for a few days now. I've got Codesys v3.5 SP17 programming a ComfilePi HMI (effectively a Raspberry Pi), and have successfully completed several projects with this hardware now. I've now got a project using Ethernet I/P (not sure if this is affecting the fault or not), and it seems to be locking me out of the User authentication. Here's a time line of events: - Fresh OS install on ComfilePi - Enable SSH, open Codesys and install...

Hi dFx, Thank you so much. Don't know how I missed that. Muppet I am! I changed the function block from 'Controller_PID' to 'Ctrl.Controller_PID' to match the data type, all errors and even the two library warnings disappeared. Thanks again, your help is very much appreciated! Regards, Toby

Hi all, This is my first post on Forge. Thanks in advanced for any help offered, it's greatly appreciated. I seem to be going around in circles with this one, and unfortunately, it will likely be a simple problem. I've downloaded the Control Loop Library, added it to my projects Library Manager, but when trying to call either a 'Controller_PID' FB or 'PWM_Creator' FB from my code, I get the following error: 'x' is not an instance of 'Controller_PID'. (or 'PWM_Creator). I've had a look in the example...
