3D-CNC and robot control integrated in one IEC 61131-3 development system
With CODESYS SoftMotion CNC+Robotics, end users can engineer complex CNC tasks and robotic controllers without having to leave the IEC 61131-3 development system.
For CNC motion planning, a DIN 66025 compliant 3D CNC editor is available with G code. Geometric data, interpolation, and kinematic transformation are edited by means of library POUs. For this purpose, end users can access the entire range of services of the IEC 61131-3 compliant development system. CODESYS SoftMotion CNC+Robotics extends the functional scope of CODESYS SoftMotion with typical kinematics and a CNC interpolator.
Simplified project engineering of robotic kinematics
CODESYS SoftMotion CNC+Robotics provides end users with an easy-to-use integrated editor for configuring complex robot axis groups. In the editor, required kinematics can be selected, parameterized, and linked to the physical robot axes. Robotic functions are processed by means of standardized function blocks compliant with PLCopen® MotionControl Part 4.

As system integrator or end user for example in machine or plant construction:
Employ controllers that are already equipped with CODESYS SoftMotion CNC+Robotics. Millions of CODESYS-compatible single devices and over 1,000 different device types from more than 500 manufacturers offer you a large range of hardware for your automation projects. CODESYS Inside offers a selection of manufacturers that offer CODESYS-compatible devices. Or implement your own CNC or robot controller based on SoftPLC systems and use the CODESYS SoftMotion CNC+Robotics add-on option for licensing:
- CODESYS Control RTE SL
- CODESYS Control RTE SL (for Beckhoff CX)
- CODESYS Control for emPC-A/iMX6 SL
- CODESYS Control for PLCnext SL
As manufacturer of programmable devices:
Get the CODESYS SoftMotion runtime system toolkit with a CNC+Robotics device license and implement your specific CNC or robot controller with CODESYS SoftMotion CNC+Robotics. You can select the CPU platform and operating system for your motion control system from various platforms.
