The comprehensive software suite for automation technology
Independent of device manufacturers
The basis:
- The "CODESYS Development System" programming tool, which implements the international IEC 61131-3 standard.
- The control software ("PLC runtime system" or "SoftPLC" or "virtual PLC") for different device platforms.
With CODESYS, you can freely select the optimum hardware for your automation application. Many classic automation providers have already implemented CODESYS. Or you can use standard device platforms on which you simply install or deploy the appropriate control software. With virtual controllers, you can even use powerful IT hardware for control and thus reduce hardware costs.
Events
CODESYS in Use
CODESYS in factory automation, mobile machinery, the energy industry, embedded devices, process and building automation.

Lissmac & Christ
Flexibility and independence with the WebVisu from CODESYS
With CODESYS, Lissmac was able to achieve maximum independence from device manufacturers. The development of a new user interface based on Lissmac CI was very simple. With WebVisu, diagnostic data can be retrieved globally and in real time via remote access.

CODESYS Releases
Base Libraries
August 06, 2026
Latest version: 5.0.0.0
This version can only be installed if no older versions (before November 2025) of several add-ons are installed:
- No old setup add-ons: CODESYS Communication, Visualization, Ethernet IP, Application Composer.
- No old optional add-ons: CODESYS ControlElement Library, IIoT Libraries, OPC UA Client API.
- No CODESYS OPC UA Pub/Sub before 1.4.0.0 (release not yet scheduled).
Reason: It cuts dependencies on CAA libraries. This introduces an incompatibility where user-defined data types are used in Element Collections (they now need to implement MBM.IDisposable).
Additionally it includes fixes for multi casting (Net Base Services) and online change (Element Collections),
and provides an updated library project template.
File-Based Storage
August 06, 2026
Latest version: 1.0.0.0
Highlights of this release:
- New file format – cleaner structure, easier to diff
- Normalized line endings for reliable Git operations across platforms
- UX refinements aligned with CODESYS SP22
- Compatible with CODESYS Git V2.0.0.0
- Improved Scripting driver
- Read-Only Mode – usable without a license
Designed for file-based project workflows in CODESYS Development System.
