Use the CODESYS Control runtime system to create your IEC 61131-3 controller
As a device manufacturer, you want your devices to be programmable with CODESYS. You would also like the applications on your devices to be developed with CODESYS according to IEC 61131-3. To achieve this, you need the appropriate software: the CODESYS Control runtime system. This system has to be implemented on your device.
You have two options:
Purchase the runtime system in the form of the CODESYS Runtime Toolkit. Thanks to the modularity and scalability of CODESYS Control, you can adapt the runtime system to almost any platform and requirements. Our experienced CODESYS project engineers will support you in this. CODESYS Control is constantly being further developed as a product. Once you have implemented the software, your device becomes an industrial controller.
Your second option: Install a suitable SoftPLC from the CODESYS Store on your hardware and use the free CODESYS Control Extension Package to adapt the SoftPLC to your requirements.
Tasks and functions of CODESYS Control
- Communication with the CODESYS Development System, e.g. for status and log information, display of variable values, execution of commands
- Loading, managing and executing the compiled application code
- Debugging the application within the CODESYS Development System with functions such as writing/forcing variables, managing breakpoints, displaying sequence control, memory dump, etc.
- Handling of I/O systems and fieldbuses using appropriate drivers
- Provision of security functions to protect data and know-how, e.g. authorized access, signing, communication encryption, certificate handling
- Execution of the optional add-on products, e.g. CODESYS TargetVisu / WebVisu or CODESYS SoftMotion for implementing coordinated movements
The CODESYS Runtime Toolkit
By purchasing the CODESYS Runtime Toolkit, you receive everything you need to implement the runtime system for a control platform:
The runtime system includes optional additional functions to enable the device to perform other typical tasks in the automation environment:
Your additional options:
Supported platforms / reference platforms
*Wind River Partner Program Silver
Other possible target device platforms
Intelligent devices based on other CPU platforms can be equipped with CODESYS Control on request. Reference implementations (see below) are available for frequently used combinations of CPU and operating system. With customer-specific adaptation support or services, CODESYS Control can be implemented on almost all operating system platforms.
Reference platforms for embedded systems
CODESYS Control can be used on almost all platforms. The runtime system is regularly tested and updated on the reference platforms listed below.
How to get
Order the CODESYS Control Runtime Toolkit specifically for your system configuration and with the desired additional options. For each CODESYS-compatible device, a runtime license is required for operation once implementation is complete.
For advice, quotations and further information, please contact sales(at)codesys.com.
Test the demo versions of the SoftPLC CODESYS Control RTE or CODESYS Control Win under Windows in advance. These are included in the standard setup of the CODESYS Development System and are installed automatically. Further demo versions of SoftPLCs for standard device platforms can be found in the CODESYS Store.
The current version of the CODESYS Development System can be downloaded free of charge from the CODESYS Store after one-time registration.
