    Kendrion Kuhnke Automation GmbH CODESYS V3 Development Environment 6.4 Retain Variables With version 1.25.0 (CODESYS 3.5 SP16 Patch40) retain variables can be declared on this controller with the keywords "RETAIN" or "PERSISTENT". In older versions, the Persistence Manager of CODESYS must be used, see 6.4.2 6.4.1 Declaration of retain variables...

    Kendrion Kuhnke Automation GmbH CODESYS V3 Development Environment 6.4.2 Using the Persistence Manager To store remanent variables the Pesistence Manager from the CODESYS application Composer can be used. General information about the Persistence Manager can be found in the CODESYS Help: https://help.codesys.com/webapp/f_application_composer_persistence_manager;product=core_Application_...
  • Page 91 Kendrion Kuhnke Automation GmbH CODESYS V3 Development Environment 6.4.2.4 Define Persistence Channel Now define a persistence channel under the PersistenceManager by right-clicking on "Channels" and selecting "Add submodule instance" from the context menu The name can be adapted if necessary. If you use different persistence channels, we recommend to use a descriptive name.
  • Page 92 Kendrion Kuhnke Automation GmbH CODESYS V3 Development Environment 6.4.2.5 Parameterization of the Persistence Channel To parameterize the persistence channel, double-click on the desired entry in the module view: The module is opened in the Editing Area. In the "Parameters" tab you can adjust the settings to your needs.

  • Page 94 Kendrion Kuhnke Automation GmbH CODESYS V3 Development Environment 6.4.2.7 Declaration of variables Set the following attribute before each variable that should be retentive: {attribute 'ac_persist' := 'PersistenceChannel'} The name, here 'PersistenceChannel' must match the persistence channel defined in 3. Example declaration of a variable:...
  • Page 95 Kendrion Kuhnke Automation GmbH CODESYS V3 Development Environment 6.4.2.8 Persistent variables as data structure We recommend to create a data structure for the persistent data when using the PersistenceManager. Then you have to set the attribute {attribute 'ac_persist' := 'PersistenceChannel'} only once in the variable declaration, so that all data from the data structure is remanent.
  • Page 96 Kendrion Kuhnke Automation GmbH CODESYS V3 Development Environment Add a global variable list Right-click on the application -> Add Objects -> Global Variable List to add a variable list for the retain variables. Declaration of the retain data structure Create a declaration for the data structure.

    Kendrion Kuhnke Automation GmbH Security 7 Security Due to the increasing networking of control systems and systems, the threat potential is also increasing rapidly! Therefore, take a close look at the possible security measures! Security measures are essential to protect data and communication channels from unauthorized access.
  • Page 98 To minimize the risk of data security breaches, CODESYS device user management is activated from 09/2023 and FTP and SSH are deactivated when the Kendrion devices are delivered. When connecting to a new device for the first time, you will be prompted to create a device user with a new user password.
  • Page 99 Kendrion Kuhnke Automation GmbH Security The selected data is then requested each time you log in with the device. Deactivating the device user management NOTE After deactivating user management, your control unit is accessible to everyone in the control network. For this reason, user management should only be deactivated in justified exceptional cases.
  • Page 100 Kendrion Kuhnke Automation GmbH Security ▪ Use the security functions supported by CODESYS and the relevant control device, such as encryption of communication with the control device and specifically restricted user access. CODESYS offers the user a variety of security settings and tools which are described in the online help of the development system.
