CODESYS Engineering - Professional realization of automation projects according to IEC 61131-3

The aim of automation is to execute processes in machines and systems without manual intervention. The heart of every automation system is the control system. It commands connected actuators and takes into account environmental conditions recorded by sensors. Ultimately, however, it is the automation specialists who plan the desired process and transfer it to the control system via software.

CODESYS provides you with a comprehensive software platform that optimally supports you in the engineering of your control application.

CODESYS Development System

The central component of the platform is the CODESYS Development System. This software implements the international IEC 61131-3 standard and offers you convenient engineering functions for your development work. You can use it to configure automation devices of all kinds.

CODESYS Automation Platform

The CODESYS Development System is based on a sophisticated software platform, the CODESYS Automation Platform. With the help of a Software Development Kit (SDK), you can use this platform to create your own plug-ins under Microsoft .NET and integrate them seamlessly into the system.

CODESYS Professional Developer Edition

The additional tools included in the CODESYS Professional Developer Edition help you to increase the efficiency of your IEC 61131-3 application development. They offer you valuable additional functions used in high-level language programming - fully integrated into the PLC programming system.

CODESYS Application Composer

The CODESYS Application Composer adds an additional application level to the CODESYS Development System: Based on predefined modules, you can conveniently assemble complete machine or system applications using drag & drop. From these, you can generate structured IEC 61131-3 program code at a mouse click.
