CODESYS Control Runtime Toolkit

• Ready to use:
  CODESYS SoftPLC systems available for standard platforms, such as devices with x86/Arm^®-compatible CPUs and operating systems like Linux^® or Microsoft Windows
   
• CODESYS SoftPLCs adaptable via CODESYS Runtime Toolkit
   
• Scalable functionality:
  adaptable to the performance and memory capabilities of the target device for different 32- and 64-bit CPU platforms (CISC/RISC), delivered with a system configurator
   
• Runtime system as a product: 
  tested quality, proven in thousands of industrial applications, relatively fast to implement
   
• Documented adaptation interfaces:
  adaptable and expandable to fit all sorts of different device specifications and requirements
   
• Easy integration:
  For supported platforms you are provided with prebuild executables for an easy integration into your operation environment
   
• Embedded Toolkits with smaller size and reduced feature set:
  CODESYS Control needs to be ported to your platform by your experienced embedded engineers


• Integrated security functions:
  protect the device and communication in Industry 4.0 environments, e.g. against unauthorized access or copying of the application code

Intelligent devices based on other CPU platforms can be equipped with CODESYS Control on request. Reference implementations are available for more frequently used combinations of CPU and operating system (see below). With customization support and services, implementing CODESYS Control is possible on almost any operating system platform.
 

CODESYS Control can be used on almost all platforms. It is regularly tested and updated on the following reference platforms.

• Installation of the CODESYS Control Runtime Toolkit with the available base components and add-on components
• Tool-guided selection and configuration of the components for the desired functionality of the runtime system
• Adaptation to the operating system interface, implementation of customized drivers or integrated add-on functions (“external libraries“), connection to external systems etc. on the basis of the provided interfaces
• Linking and compiling all components to the executable runtime system and implementation of the system on the target
• Provision of the device driver (Device Description file) for the usage of the device in the CODESYS Development System

Alternative:

Installation of SoftPLC systems for standard platforms, such as devices with x86/Arm-compatible CPUs and operating systems like Linux or Windows. These SoftPLCs can be purchased in the CODESYS Store. They can be adapted to typical tasks using the CODESYS Control Extension Package, e.g.

• Use of existing C code and APIs from the IEC application
• Support of local or connected I/Os, retentive data, start/stop switches
• Triggering of external events as well as registration on application events
• Provision of own configuration services using PLCShell commands

The package comes free of charge with the CODESYS Installer.
