CODESYS

The CODESYS software is the ideal programming tool for machine and process applications in machine building and system integration. The software is the perfect programming tool for all applications in which a powerful PLC or HMI-PLC with various field bus connections is required. All XV/XC controllers from Eaton can be programmed with CODESYS version 2 or 3. The software combines sophisticated technical features and easy handling. In addition, it is the programming system of choice for many manufacturers.

Core features

  • Communication with GALILEO
  • The application is structured into several individual runtime programs (multitasking)
  • Supports SmartWire-DT solutions
  • Reduced project planning and commissioning times
  • Web visualization

Core features for CODESYS

  • Programming with CODESYS is compliant to IEC 1131-3 in the programming languages:
       - Instruction list (IL)
       - Ladder diagram (LD)
       - Function block diagram (FBD)
       - Sequential function chart (SFC)
       - Structured text (ST)
       - Continuous function chart (CFC)
  • CODESYS is the programming environment for all XV/XC controllers from Eaton
  • For the XV100, XC150 and XC-202 controllers, Eaton offers targets for CODESYS V3
  • Maximum flexibility: the same hardware can be used for new (designed with CODESYS V3) and existing (programmed with CODESYS V2) generations of machines
  • Reduction of startup and maintenance time by using project simulation on the development-PC
  • CODESYS can communicate with GALILEO, such as for simple import/export of PLC variables
  • Realization of Lean Automation solutions based on SmartWire-DT technology.

CODESYS V3 offers:

  • A programming tool that can be expanded; using plugins to handle customer-specific adaptations
  • A modern development environment
  • Expanded language options (object-oriented programming)
  • Know-how protection for target and programming tool
  • Multiple PLC programs in one project
  • New and improved target visualization functions
  • Improved IT safety functions
  • Websites based on HTML5
  • Field bus configurators: CAN, PROFIBUS, SmartWire-DT, Modbus TCP/RTU (next version will also include: EtherNet/IP); more to come
