Hello,

I have obtained the OOP Motion Codesys library as a template for an Axis of motion...
It seems to me a good library and I would like to use it in TwinCAT...
After installing the library in TwinCAT I don't know how to make an example since I don't know how to link the axis in PLC, because in TwinCAT it asks us for AXIS_REF from, for example, the TC2_MC2 library to be able to link...,

How can I solve it in the best way to use this library?

I attach the library and the document, I also attach a photo so you can see that there are some examples of the library provided,
any help or suggestion would be great...

Greetings, Victor.

@runtimevictor Hi, Have you checked this tutorial ? It shows how to add a virtual axis and link it to the PLC.

@beckhoffsupport ,

what you indicate is not the problem, the issue is that if you look at the FB class provided by Codesys it does not contain AXIS_REF, and what I am asking is what would be the best way to take advantage of the library...

@runtimevictor You will need to develop a class that implements the interface itfAxis. You will then need to provide the implementation specific to Beckhoff's specifications. Page 6 of the pdf you sent contains this excerpt below.

Yes, that is how I have started, but I would like if someone can get the source code of the Codesys library? In this way I would have the Axis Class FB that they provide and it would be very useful for me to make the TwinCAT one...

@runtimevictor,

I don't think they will give that up to us. The library you sent is a template. It's up to the user to write the implementation for the specific vendor.

 

The advantage is you can use the same methodology on any Codesys platform so your work is easier to create and troubleshoot.

We'll see what they say. Since there is no implementation in the template they gave you, you can copy and paste the declarations into your own project and use that as your start point.

Hello,

I have a question and I don't know what is the best way to solve it, I would be grateful if someone could help me solve it in the best possible way...
I attach a photo, the project is hosted on GitHub in the TcMotion organization, anyone who wants to be part or collaborate is also welcome to the community...

I would like to be able to choose the best way to get the Done output of MC_MoveAbsolute?...
