Examples

This example demonstrates the use of the visualization element ‘Path3D’. Path3D is designed to be used in combination with CODESYS SoftMotion (see the CNC 3D Editor example). However, this example shows the application of it independently from CODESYS SoftMotion.

This library gives the user the ability to easily make use of some CAN Bus functionality. The library is optimized for object oriented programming with Structured Text and graphical programming with languages like CFC. Therefore it uses internally the system library CAN Bus Low Level.

This example shows how a communication between HALCON and CODESYS can be realized via TCP / UDP protocol. In the CODESYS programs the “CAA Net Base Services” library is used.

This example demonstrates the use of the Recipe Manger. A recipe in CODESYS is a value set for a user-defined variable list (recipe definitions). Recipes can be used for setting and monitoring values for a specific set of variables on the PLC.

This example shows the use of three COM Ports. One port is for reading, another for writing and one can do both. The included visualization shows the reading and writing result together with the used parameters. The user can switch between the three different ports.

This example describes the usage of the online CNC editor. With the online CNC editor it is possible to visualize a CNC-path (G-Code) graphically and to edit it textual.

Find pairs of symbols, select them and they will be removed. Challenge CODESYS (CODESYS plays a rather simple strategy, but hard to beat) and see if you remove more tiles. The game is finished when all pairs of tiles have been removed from the board or when there are no exposed pairs remaining.
