Out of sight, out of mind - this is not a good strategy for delivered machines and systems. With the Automation Server, CODESYS GmbH, Kempten, therefore offers control management from the cloud. Updating new releases of the application software and - in the near future - also the firmware is thus possible remotely and the current status is always transparent, says Martin Decker, Product Owner CODESYS Automation Server at CODESYS Group. On the machine side, only an edge gateway is required.

As part of the CODESYS Professional Developer Edition, CODESYS has already been offering a connection to the Apache Subversion version management system for years. Recently, a connection to the popular open source version management system Git has been included in the add-on bundle.

OPC UA is considered the number one communication standard in the Industry 4.0 era. Still many programmers ask themselves, how much additional effort is actually involved when working with OPC UA. The following article gives an answer by looking at the usage of OPC UA Server, Client and PubSub on CODESYS-compatible platforms.

The use of the Industry 4.0 platform CODESYS Automation Server offers the possibility of obtaining a detailed overview of your own control landscape and minimizing failure risks.

Das auf Basis des »Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3+« entwickelte IIoT-Gateway »Rev Pi Connect+« von Kunbus gibt es nun auch mit vorinstallierter »CODESYS«-Runtime-Lizenz. Die Einbindung in die Entwicklungsumgebung »CODESYS« erfolgt über den Import der Gerätebeschreibungsdateien. So lässt sich das hutschienenbasierte Modul als industrielle Kleinsteuerung einsetzen, die in vielen Fällen als Alternative zu einer SPS ausreicht.
