The IEC 61131-3 programming environment behind hundreds of controller brands. One tool to learn, with programs and skills that carry across the CODESYS-based PLCs we supply, including Berghof and Odot.
About CODESYS
CODESYS is the manufacturer-independent IEC 61131-3 automation software for programming controller applications. It is developed by the CODESYS Group, based in Kempten, Germany. The company began in 1994 as 3S-Smart Software Solutions and has more than 200 employees across Germany, China, Italy and the United States.
Why it matters
One development environment works across hundreds of controller brands, so engineers learn one tool and reuse their programs and skills across hardware from many manufacturers. Device makers embed the CODESYS runtime into their controllers, and the development tool itself is free to use.
- All five IEC 61131-3 programming languages in one environment
- Fieldbus support including CANopen, EtherCAT and PROFINET
- Visualisation and motion control (SoftMotion) add-ons
- Certified safety options up to SIL2 and SIL3 under IEC 61508
CODESYS at Ti2
Ti2 engineers use CODESYS day to day, for controller programming, SoftMotion axis control and machine commissioning. See our projects for worked examples.
