Professional realization of automation projects according to IEC 61131-3

CODESYS^® Development System

The programming tool for industrial control and automation technology

CODESYS Development System

The CODESYS Development System is the core of the software platform. It implements the international IEC 61131-3 standard. Convenient engineering functions make it easy to get started with development work and still offer sophisticated features that you will enjoy even after many years of practical use. At least that is the regular feedback from many users from the huge community (more than 300,000 from all continents are registered in the CODESYS Store)!

Functions for the realization of professional control applications

All IEC 61131-3 editors (FBD, LD, IL*, ST, SFC), some of them in different variants (*IL was marked as obsolete by PLCopen^®, the IEC 61131-3 user organization, and is therefore no longer maintained. If required, IL can be enabled for use.).
Mature and tried-and-tested library concept for easy reuse of application code with available blocks, e.g. for communication with other systems.
Project configuration using wizards and special editors.
Input wizard, quick fixes and other smart coding options for fast input and configuration of a wide range of data.

Convenient programming with mouse and keyboard in all IEC 61131-3 languages.
Integrated compiler for fast application code for optimum utilization of controller performance - all CPU platforms for controllers supported.
Comprehensive project comparison, also for graphical editors.
Extensive debugging and online features for troubleshooting, optimizing the application code, and speeding up testing and commissioning, such as breakpoints, variable monitoring, sequence control.
Extensive online and offline help at the touch of a button.
Support for the most important national languages.
Numerous security features for securing source code, communication and operation of control systems using certificates, dongles and passwords.
Expandability and customizability of the interface via additional tools without leaving the product framework, including optional products to increase efficiency in application development and for continuous development.
Project exchange via standardized (PLCopen XML) and proprietary formats.
Simple archiving of complex projects.
Programmable devices from a wide range of manufacturers and for a wide range of applications.
Transparent internal structure of the programming tool and the associated components.
Many seamlessly integrated tools for additional automation tasks, e.g. visualization, coordinated movements, redundancy, etc.
Integrated access to online platforms, e.g. for reloading or installing optional or missing modules.

Increase your output - object-oriented PLC programming

Real object-oriented programming (OOP) according to 61131-3 3rd Edition in all IEC 61131-3 languages without additional tools
Encapsulation of object-oriented program code in libraries with functional call interfaces: convenient provision of, for example, system functions or special algorithms for PLC programmers without knowledge of OOP
Inheritance of program blocks to similar application parts to reduce development time and errors
Object-oriented programming is not a must: Functional or object-oriented programming can be used and mixed as required.

Current version of the CODESYS Development System: CODESYS V3.5 SP21
