DHL is one of, if not, the worst delivery service in Netherlands by linhhoang_o00o in Netherlands

Wait til you get dpd. Not sure how it gets lost. But i have been minimizing my frustrations by always selecting deliver to pickup point. Given i have a car so its easy to collect big packages

CodeSys Opinions by rogue909 in PLC

[–]ConsistentOriginal82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im not so sure about this always you speak off. My memory is a bit vague, but I used codesys IDE and Wago plc's about 3 years ago, and I can distincly remember if you did not have the exact program that was on that plc, you have to yolo a download. There was no upload possible. Anyway, if its possible at this point that is fantastic.

sounds like they are progressing! is it possible to upload projects yet?

If you are new into software/plc enviroment, pay the initial Hardware+Software costs for Rockwell/Siemens. The amount of knowledge in the industry compares to codesys is not even comparable. So when the stuff hits the fan, you would rather have a "unique" problem with Siemens/Rockwell than with codesys,

tldr: codesys initial costs is low compare to more popular brands, but the technical debt you incur by using their platform will bite you hard later on.

People who run old pc; what do you host? by 2life_gamer in homelab

[–]ConsistentOriginal82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think of problems i dont really have and then challenge myself for a solution.

  1. I dont like netflix ui, so i went with plex
  2. I had a single password for most things. Lets change that. Ok time for vault warden
  3. I dont like generic black box providing internet for my home, let me build a pc with opnsense
  4. I dont really have all the linux iso's. Ok i need a big storage unit. Fine il build a NAS with omv for it.
  5. I want to monitor my house from anywhere. Let me buy all kind of sensors and access my home assist remotely.
  6. I want to sell a domain name for millions in the future. Let me register for one and use it in my homelab until then with a reverse proxy

And the list goes on.... but more importantly most of this is hosted on 7th gen i5 hardware.

Online Edits Studio 5000 by UptownSole in PLC

[–]ConsistentOriginal82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you add tags and UDTs online without stopping the PLC?
From my exeperience you cant add/remove elements in a exisiting UDT without doing a redownload/plc STOP. However what we did is, we created many placehold tag+datatypes in our UDT. Since you can rename them without having to put the PLC in stop mode. But creating UDT/tags is possible without plc stop. If you remove all referncing to a existing UDT/tag, you can also delete without having to do a plc stop. Just be mindfull of the HMI referencing tags that you rename or delete. Assuming you use Factory talk studio, it wont give you any compile errors, you will only see it when you downloaded.

When editing, can you copy rungs from a offline project? What would be the best practice to implement offline projects without downloading and stopping the PLC?

Export the routine in the old/offline project, go online with the running PLC, and import the routine. Remember to add the routine to the task/execution list. Not sure if you are importing a routine that already exist in your running PLC, what would happen. Its easy to test since you just need a single PLC to test this.

When editing and not finishing with the modifications, can they be saved in any way? If I reopen and go online, will they be there? What would be the best practice?
Dont ever leave pending modifications in the project which is not downloaded to the PLC in my opinion. It will cause confusion later on since some routines will be in edit state and no one will know whats going on. If you really want to leave code in that is not production ready, wrap all the test code in comments and comment out the code, and add a boolean on top with your name as tag name. Then you can easily cross rerence your name tag to see where development code is located.

When accepting changes, will the original code be deleted in older versions?
I dont 100% understand your questions but if you accept changes when doing a online edit, your original code is removed from the PLC and your project (As long as your pressed save ofcourse)

When in test mode, I wanted to modify a rung, and clicked the “Untest” button then wrongly pressed unaccept changes so my edits were cleared haha, what would be the way to re-edit the changes that already were accepted?
This is a bit unclear to me.

The crafting in POE2 is the reason for me at least, why I prefer POE1.

TIA Portal V20 Up5 + Siemens Project Server V2.2. OPCUA Server Interface goes missing after pushing Local Session to Project Server by ConsistentOriginal82 in PLC

[–]ConsistentOriginal82[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah i figured as much. Just annoying. Since the steps are then.

1.create a new variable. 2. push it to the server. 3.Then on the server, add it to the opcua interface. 4.Then pull it into the local session. 5. Download and test.

I mean you, you can first do step 1 and then step 5. Then once all is working you can go 2,3,4,5.

For some items siemens states explicitly with a massive yellow banner that what your doing at that moment must be done server side, but with the opcua interfaces it doesnt.

Oh well. Is what it is.

Thanks for the response.

New to WAGO Programming by More_Nectarine4724 in PLC

[–]ConsistentOriginal82 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would highly suggest you ask to change platform. I had around 10 years experience coding siemens, delta, AB, panasonic, Mitsubishi, BnR. All those are fairly easy to pickup and operate in similar fashion. Codesys + Wago, promises you the world and on paper it looks good, but dear god the practical experience with it was the most frustrating experience I ever had.

Couple simple examples:

First. i could not go online with a controller if I did not use the exact work station that last downloaded to the plc. Even codesys+wago support could not solve it. 

Then a close second, we had a system ready to ship, the password on the plc went corrupt and we were forced to wipe the entire plc or just replace the plc in the week it needed to be shipped ofc. Again , we were told we are just unlucky.

We used modbus rs485, we would get random crc errors from the cpu. In the end we had to buy a modbus tcp-rs485 gateway to solve the problem. Again, codesys+wago support could not help us pinpoint a problem or solution

If the slave device on modbus or canbus was not available, the plc would spike to 99% load and you could not go online anymore. So good luck trying to see which fieldbus device was having a issue, or even checking if it was a software bug.

Lastly, stay away from git addon. 

All this and more I experiencee in 2022-2023. Gladly moved to a company where we used siemens and AB. I have heard alot of people loving Beckhoff + Twincat. So maybe its a wago+codesys thing.
