CODESYS in Factory Automation

CODESYS is used to automate serial machines and special purpose machines for the production of all sorts of different goods and products around the world. In book or newspaper printing, in the furniture production industry or in the production of vehicle components – CODESYS is virtually everywhere.

Why is that so?

• CODESYS offers a powerful IEC 61131-3 development environment with fully integrated backend functions such as compilers, debuggers, simulation and variable trace.
  ⇒ The application can be developed without any additional tools what so ever. The same applies for testing and commissioning.
   
• Many tasks in factory automation like the fieldbus configuration, the creation of modern visualization screens for machine operation, planning and execution of complex motion control or CNC movements, implementation of safety applications to DIN IEC 61508 SIL3 etc. can be carried out with the integrated tool.
  ⇒ All this is done without having to leave the familiar development surface.
   
• The latest version of CODESYS can be downloaded for free from this website.
  ⇒ And without any effort the user can profit from the latest CODESYS features. CODESYS is also widely used by schools and universities for training future technicians and engineers. 
   
• Today, CODESYS is used in over 1000 different controllers around the world. CODESYS Inside offers a selection of manufacturers that offer CODESYS-compatible devices.
  ⇒ This means every end user has a vast pool of automation devices to choose from for his automation project.
