What is Codesys?
CODESYS is the leading, manufacturer-independent IEC 61131-3 automation software for engineering control systems. As the market-leading hardware-independent programming system, it is designed for PLCs, SoftPLCs, and industrial controllers. Hundreds of devices from over 400 automation manufacturers can be programmed using this tool. It features an integrated compiler, fieldbus and industrial Ethernet configurations, along with protocol stacks such as for PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, or EtherCAT. With an integrated visualization editor supporting HTML5 and an embedded runtime environment, optional motion control, CNC, robotics, and safety extensions, along with numerous other functionalities, usability is elevated to a high level. Add-ons like static code analysis, UML, or application profiling help enhance source code quality. Additionally, the Industry 4.0/IIoT platform makes managing compatible devices exceptionally convenient. CODESYS is used daily by over one hundred thousand application developers worldwide.
