11:15 – 12:00 | CODESYS in the FIELD | Application Story with ExxonMobil Anchorage Chemical Terminal

Topic: Using CODESYS to implement the first commercial Open Process Automation (OPA) system in Production for an End User

Description:Open Process Automation has a vision of an open, standards-based, secure, and interoperable automation architecture that   promotes technology insertion and business value growth.
Much of the technology for this vision is software centric, and Software Defined Process Control and Automation is the system model. The OPA   attributes of Interoperability, Interchangeability, and Portability resting on the foundation of Security, Manageability, and Reliability are the focus of   such a system.The use of CODESYS provides a great example of how these attributes are met in the effort to assemble the OPA-based COPA 500 automation system. You’ll learn why saying Yes to Open Process Automation means never having to say no to your automation technology needs.

Presented by: David DeBari, Chief Process Control Engineer, CPLANE

Day 3: Wednesday, October 07

09:00 AM – 13:30 CT

10:00 – 10:45 | CODESYS in the FIELD | Application Story with ELPRO

Topic: Using a Wireless Edge Radio to Connect & Transform OT Data from LoRaWAN/MQTT to CODESYS/CACNetIP using an Embedded OPC-UA Server

Description:   This presentation/Live Demo will demonstrate connecting LoRaWAN Edge of Node Sensors through LoRaWAN Gateways to a Local LoRaWAN TTN Server within the ELPRO’s Quantum Wireless Edge   Radio. 
 It connects its data over a Corporate Ethernet Network to a Historian via MQTT Sparkplug B while simultaneously serves this data via OPC-UA to CODESYS to a BACNet/IP Building Automation System for a Pharmaceutical Research Building Complex. The application also consists of a LoRaWAN Commissioning Tool to read in LoRaWAN data to map into internal Registers of the Quantum. 
The LoRaWAN sensors, Gateway and TTN Server provide GPS coordinates to determine location, and the LoRaWAN sensor provides a “Wink” function for local identification of the specific Node from   a SmartPhone App.

Presented by: Kevin S Smith, Wireless Automation Director, ELPRO

10:45 – 11:30 | CODESYS in the FIELD | Application Story with Weidmueller

Topic: From Prompt to PLC | Accelerating CODESYS Projects with MCP on an Open Edge Platform

Description: CODESYS MCP and Weidmuller's u-OS MCP give AI agents access to both the control project and the running device. 
We will demonstrate how this reduces repetitive engineering work, speeds commissioning, and helps integrators troubleshoot unfamiliar systems 
without replacing experienced engineering judgment.

Presented by: Christopher Deloglos, US Strategic Product Manager for u-OS,Weidmueller 

Jerry Farrar, Technical Support Specialist, Automation & Industrial Control Systems, Weidmueller

11:30 – 12:15 | CODESYS in the FIELD | Application Story with Collaborative Systems Integration (CSI)

12:15 – 13:00 | CODESYS in the FIELD | CODESYS TECH BITE | DEEP DIVE

Topic: The Jitter Test: Measuring Soft Realtime Where It Matters — a CODESYS PLC Control Demo

Description: In this demo, we show how NodeWeaver’s soft-real-time capabilities enable mission-critical, latency-sensitive workloads to run alongside standard, non-real-time applications on the same infrastructure.  Using a CODESYS PLC control workload, we measure jitter where it matters and demonstrate how industrial IT and OT   systems can be safely consolidated onto a single, reliable virtualization layer.

Presented by: Carlo Daffara, CEO, NodeWeaver

Topic: Configure, Don't Reprogram: CODESYS Control and Pre-Integrated IIoT on One Edge Device

Description: Every trip to a remote site costs hours before anyone touches a wrench. 
This session shows what it takes to run CODESYS control, cellular connectivity, and data collection on one device instead of three at sites nobody visits — remote   download, failover, metered data, and staying in control when the link drops.

Presented by: Bessie Wu, Sales Manager, Southeast Region, InHand Networks and Zeming Wang: Product Manager, InHand Networks

Topic: DEEP DIVE in Robotic and Safety

Presented by: Peter Bernhardt, Sales & Marketing Manager, MESCO Engineering

Description: This presentation examines what happens when a single industrial PC must maintain deterministic EtherCAT control while also serving OPC UA data to SCADA, MES, or historians.
It shows where timing and jitter are introduced, how BIOS and firmware settings affect real-time performance, and how NODKA IPC hardware with CODESYS can be tuned and measured under load.

Presented by: Eddie Chau, Account Executive | B2B Sales & Business Development, NODKA

11:30 – 12:15 | CODESYS in the FIELD | OPTO22

Topic: From Smart Sumps to Smarter Mines

Description: See how Surety Automation used CODESYS on Opto 22's groov RIO to rethink underground mine control, replacing traditional PLC panels with a compact,   software-driven architecture. What started as a   smarter way to control sump pumps became a repeatable model for connected mining, cutting hardware costs 30–40% and engineering time from weeks to hours.
Presented by: Dan White, Director of Technical Marketing, OPTO22

12:15 – 13:45 | CODESYS in the FIELD | CODESYS TECH BITE | Live demos

Presented by: Eric Seme, CEO, FIREBALL INDUSTRIES

Topic: >> Security & Sovereignty At The Edge: Edge Computing Infrastructure for Virtual PLCs

Description: In this presentation we look at the trends toward virtualization of automated processes, and how to mitigate the risks associated with newer advanced deployments. Protecting data at rest, data in motion, and data in process is crucial to a secure and trusted automation environment, but the barriers to entry can be significant. New tools and platforms are discussed to ensure that advanced algorithms for AI and virtualized PLCs that are used in automation and control environments can be fully trusted.
Presented by: Rudi Carolsfeld, Founder & Chief Revenue Officer, GECCO
