It is likely necessary to fully specify: BASIC.GEN_RDM;

I have successfully tested it on version 3.5.11 with the following module: Random: OSCAT_BASIC.GEN_RDM.

I have found a solution that works well for me: OSCAT_BASIC.GEN_RDM. Thank you to everyone for your help.

Beilington33 inquired about the latest version. Unfortunately, the one available is an older 32-bit version. Feel free to give it a try.

Hey there, you might be dealing with compatibility issues. Make sure that your Codesys V3 application version is compatible with the library you're trying to incorporate. Also, confirm the library is correctly installed. If everything seems fine in that aspect, the issue could be with the syntax you're using to create an instance of the function block. Ensure you are following the correct syntax as given in the function block's documentation. If all else fails, consider reaching out to Codesys' service line for more personalized assistance. Hope this helps!

Hi, it sounds like your library may not have been imported correctly, or there might be an issue around the namespace. Double-check whether you've added the correct library to your device's application, and make sure the library is compiled without any errors. When creating an instance of the function block, pay extra attention to how you're referencing it, you need to use the correct namespace in the declaration. Also, updates or patches installed recently may affect compatibility too, so cross-verify that as well. Best of luck!

Hey! It sounds like a frustrating issue. Have you double-checked that the library is properly added to your project and that you're using the correct namespace for the function block? Sometimes, renaming the function block or making sure that all dependencies are correctly configured can help. Additionally, try cleaning and rebuilding your project, as that can occasionally resolve recognition issues. Good luck, and I hope you get it sorted out soon!

If you’re still having trouble, consider looking at the library documentation or checking for any updates!

Hi there! It sounds like you might be facing a scope issue or possibly a problem with your project settings. Make sure the library is properly added to your project and check if you’re using the correct namespace when trying to create the instance of the function block. Sometimes, refreshing the project or rebuilding it can help too. If you’re still having trouble, double-check the documentation for the library to see if there are any specific steps or requirements for instantiation. Good luck!

It sounds like you're running into a classic issue with instance creation in Codesys.
