Incorporation of C-Functions as CoDeSys

Library

For the use of any C- or also Linux functions in CoDeSys, the import interface

described in the following is available. This can be used to load and use Linux

libraries dynamically into the CoDeSys runtime system.

12.1

Example for Linking a Dynamic Library

The following section will explain to you by means of an example the procedure

for linking a dynamic library using a C-function in CoDeSys.

12.1.1

Developing and Compiling a Linux Shared Library

Before you can use C functions within a CoDeSys program, you must develop and

compile a Linux shared library. Proceed in the following manner:

Create a file with the necessary functions. In this example, the file

"libmytest.c" was created for this purpose with a "MyTestFunction"

function and "unsigned short" data types.

#include <stdio.h>

unsigned short MyTestFunction(unsigned short value)

{

return value+=2;

}

Figure 59: "libmytest.c" file

Compile and link the file by entering the following command in the Linux

console:

gcc libmytest.c -Wall -shared -o libmytest.so

In Linux, the parameter "-shared" must be used when calling up the "gcc"

compiler.

With an error-free compilation of the file, a dynamic library "libmytest.so" is

generated with the parameter "-shared" that contains the "MyTestFunction" C-

function.

File name of the Linux libraries

The file name of the Linux libraries must begin with lib.
