CODESYS Control

CODESYS Control is the corresponding runtime system to the CODESYS Development System. It converts an intelligent device into a controller that can be programmed in the IEC 61131-3 languages with the CODESYS Development System. 

For more information about technical properties and functions, please see here.

Device manufacturers

Can adapt the CODESYS Control runtime system to almost any platform or requirement. 
The CODESYS Runtime Toolkit is required for this purpose. The modular structure and the scalability of the system provide a wide range of possibilities for customizing the runtime system to individual system structures. As long as your devices are based on standard platforms, you can also install the SoftPLC systems available in the CODESYS Store.  Under "Available SoftPLC systems for standard platforms" you will find a list of all supported platforms and the corresponding SoftPLC systems.
 

CODESYS users

Can focus fully on creating applications: Millions of CODESYS-compatible single devices and over 1,000 different device types from more than 400 manufacturers offer you a large selection of hardware for your automation projects. CODESYS Control is implemented on all available CODESYS controllers. Furthermore, ready-to-use SoftPLC systems with CODESYS Control, which you install on the devices yourself, are available for different standard platforms in the CODESYS Store. Add-on functionalities are included, such as integrated support of real-time Ethernet systems, as well as the option of licensing the visualization and motion control products, which are optional in CODESYS. You will find a complete list of supported platforms for these SoftPLC systems below.
For more information about products relating to CODESYS Control, please refer directly to the CODESYS Store or the brochure "CODESYS for Users".
