    Is it possible to get the address mapping (%QB0,...) of IO Devices ?

    This is possible since V3.5 SP8.

    Here's a small toy script:

    \#
    \# Methods
    \#
    def printDevParams(parmSet):
       for param in parmSet:
          print("param id={} name={}".format(param.id, param.name))
          printData(param, "")
    def printData(data, indent):
       print("{}data identifier={} value={}".format(indent, data.identifier, data.value))
       if data.is_mappable_io:
          io = data.io_mapping
          print("{}IO variable={}".format(indent, io.variable))
          if io.default_variable != None:
             print("{}IO default_variable={}".format(indent, io.default_variable))
       if data.has_sub_elements:
          for subData in data:
             printData(subData, indent + "--")
    \#
    \# Main program
    \#
    proj = projects.primary
    found = proj.find("In1", True)
    assert(len(found) == 1, "more than one object found")
    dev = found[0]
    print("device found")
    parms = dev.device_parameters
    if len(parms) > 0:
       printDevParams(parms)
    for conn in dev.connectors:
       print("connector={} id={}".format(conn.interface, conn.connector_id))
       parms = conn.host_parameters
       if len(parms) > 0:
          printDevParams(parms)
    conn = dev.connectors.by_id(1)
    input = conn.host_parameters.by_id(1)
    \# Check if byte is mapped
    byte0 = input["Byte0"]
    io = byte0.io_mapping
    if io.variable == "Application.GVL.byInput0":
       print("Byte0 is mapped correctly")
    \# Map some bytes and bits
    byte = input["Byte1"]
    io = byte.io_mapping
    io.variable = "byInput1"
    print("Byte1 mapped now")
    if io.mapping_creates_variable:
       print("Mapping creates the variable")
    byte = input["Byte2"]
    io = byte.io_mapping
    io.variable = "Application.GVL.byInput2"
    print("Byte2 mapped now")
    if io.maps_to_existing_variable:
       print("Mapping to existing variable")
    byte = input["Byte3"]
    bit = byte["Bit0"]
    io = bit.io_mapping
    io.variable = "Application.GVL.xBit0"
    print("Byte3.Bit0 mapped now")
    bit = byte["Bit1"]
    io = bit.io_mapping
    io.variable = "Application.GVL.xBit1"
    print("Byte3.Bit1 mapped now")
    \# Check for automatic and manual IEC addressing
    io = byte0.io_mapping
    if io.automatic_iec_address:
       print("IEC address is automatically set to " + io.manual_iec_address)
       io.manual_iec_address = "%IB10"
       if not io.automatic_iec_address:
          print("IEC address was switch to manual addressing")
          if io.manual_iec_address == "%IB10":
             print("IEC address was set correctly to " + io.manual_iec_address)
       io.manual_iec_address = None
       if io.automatic_iec_address:
          print("IEC address was switch back to automatic addressing")
    else:
       print("IEC address is manually set to " + io.manual_iec_address)

    perfect, thank you

    Hi,

    Is it a known limitation that you cannot map to an element of an array?

    for i in input:                           #ScriptValueDataElement
       i.io_mapping.variable = 'Application.GVL.G_xTest[0]'
    

    Best Regards
    Thomas

    Have you tried it manually in the device editor?

    To reproduce the problem I need some additional information. What data type has the array in the GVL and the input in the IO mapping? Which version of CODESYS did you use?

    Hi M.Keller,

    The version is 3.5 SP10.

    the GVL, an array of datatype BOOL which I map to %IX

    VAR_GLOBAL
       G_axInputArray : ARRAY[0..3] OF BOOL;
    END_VAR
    

    (...The Python code works if I don't use an array)

    The output from the interpreter using an array:

    Zitat:
    Invalid variable name: 'G_axInputArray[0]' is not a valid identifier.

    I tryed the scrip but it did not work. It shows an error at line with "byte0 = input["Byte0"]"

    It says "Operation not allowed on simple types"
