CODESYS go! – when IT paradigms turn the OT world upside down

CODESYS® go!

The web-based development environment

The next generation

Integrated, web-based development environment

CODESYS go! is a web-based development environment for controlling machines and systems. The architecture is divided into frontend and backend; in IT, this is regularly referred to as a server/client solution. In the case of CODESYS go! the frontend also corresponds to the client, but the backend can run not only on an (edge) server, but also in the cloud, on standard PC hardware or even on the PLC itself.

Efficient, text-based PLC programming in the browser

Maximum OS independence: Frontend runs on all standard browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, Brave, Edge

Maximum hardware independence: Backend runs on PLCs, IPCs, SBCs, cloud, edge, on-premises – actually everywhere!

IT standards for OT development incl. File-Based Storage, command line interface, and version control

Boosted e ciency by centralized deployment without local installation

Advantages of the web-based development interface

Proven compatibility

Established and proven CODESYS compiler, libraries and fi eldbus stacks along new architecture, new look and feel, new deployment concept, new integration possibilities.

No more versioning conflicts

IT-managed backend versioning – no more struggle due to different versions on different PLCs by different operators.

New level of independence thanks to new architecture

Frontend / backend architecture unlocks independence from operating systems and hardware.
