CODESYS ® is the leading manufacturer-independent IEC 61131-3 automation software for engineering control systems.

CODESYS ENGINEERING

IEC 61131-3 Software Suite for engineering

The leading Software Platform for IEC 61131-3 compliant project engineering

There are many reasons to choose CODESYS. It is a powerful manufacturer-independent IEC 61131-3 development environment with numerous user-friendly functions for the programming and configuration of automation projects. 

The CODESYS Development System contains fully integrated backend functions, such as compilers, debuggers, a simulator and variable trace. Thus, control applications can be developed, tested and commissioned without any additional tools.

The latest version of CODESYS can be downloaded free of charge from our CODESYS North America Store.

The CODESYS Development System combines classic programming of controller applications with professional software development for Industry 4.0 / Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).

The engineering platform is the basis of the CODESYS product families for visualization, motion, control, fieldbus configuration, and safety programming. 

ADVANTAGES

  • Hardware and operating system independence
    CODESYS is a manufacturer-independent and operating system-independent comprehensive and flexible system.
    The hardware independent integration offers sustainability for already deployed applications, and the possibility to start developments before having the hardware.
     
  • Highest possible flexibility
    Programmers benefit from the simultaneously use of six common programming languages (ST, SFC, LD, FBD, CFC, IL) and the possibility to integrate C or Python.
     
  • Performance improvement
    CODESYS customers enjoy regular updates and upgrades free of charge. Upgrades enhance the overall functionality, security and performance of the CODESYS software and extends its lifecycle as well.
    The latest version of CODESYS can be downloaded free of charge from our CODESYS North America Store.
     
  • Support
    With the maintenance of CODESYS software services, you can keep a tab on your software expenditure. Most programs cover users for a year and include support service thereby reducing an organization's investment in IT greatly.
     
  • Time Savings
    The option to use Object Oriented Programming (OOP) designs facilitates modular and highly reusable code for control applications and significantly reduce development and maintenance time. 
     
  • Online Changes
    CODESYS includes the possibility of changing the program without effecting the process - securely from all over the world.
     
  • Availability of a wide range of tools
    For efficient developments and diagnostics CODESYS has integrated analysis test, simulations, and offline tests. CODESYS includes efficient configuration, commissioning, and debugging tools to assist engineers throughout the development of their projects. 
     
  • Ergonomics
    A simple and intuitive environment for programming and configuration of applications is embedded in CODESYS.

Object Oriented Programming in CODESYS Example Process Industry

- Using Structure Text

When having a project with changing requirements, traditional programming methods using ladder fall short and causes tons of modification to add a new feature to your PLC program.

Now with the most recent IEC-61131-3 standard features, Object Oriented Programming  (OOP) is introduced. With Object Oriented Programming (OOP) you can apply a very sophisticated and advanced programming methods to create a solid and advanced software infrastructure.

Object Oriented Programming concepts are used in the biggest programming languages like C++ / JAVA / C# and even Python.
