CODESYS software

The XSOFT-CODESYS development tool is a professional engineering software platform for programming Eaton’s XV... and XC... controller series. Its convenient engineering functions, based on the international standard IEC 61131-3, simplify development work and offer sophisticated features that deliver practical benefits. Project configuration using wizards, IEC 61131-3 editors (FBD, LD, ST, SFC), and a mature, well-established library concept improves usability and facilitates reuse.
Flexible visualisation:
On site or via mobile devices
comprehensive programming options:
ST, IL, LD, FBD, SFC and CFC
An integrated solution
Suitable for all XV and XC devices from Eaton

Core features

  • Easy configuration of the CODESYS web visualization distributed by HTML WEB server and the data link to GALILEO
  • Convenient programming structured into several individual runtime programs (multitasking) in all IEC 61131-3 languages
  • Various demo programs and libraries available
  • Reduced project planning and commissioning times
  • Numerous security features for securing source code, communication and operation of control systems using certificates, dongles, and passwords

Integrated fieldbus configuration

The integrated PROFIBUS-DP, CANopen and SmartWire-DT fieldbus configurators facilitate the fast, intuitive and flexible connection of the devices to your fieldbus of choice. In addition, CODESYS version 3 also offers configurators for Modbus TCP/RTU as well as for EthernetIP and EtherCat.

Flexible visualisation

CODESYS allows users to visualise projects on site, for example via an HMI. In addition, web-based visualisation on mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones is also possible. To enable this feature, CODESYS V3 generates HTML5-based pages that can be displayed on any browser. This option is also supported by controllers with integrated web server, such as the XC300 modular controller.

Comprehensive application libraries are available

To facilitate the programming of controllers with CODESYS, Eaton provides ready-made libraries for many applications, which saves time during project planning. These include a control engineering and motion control toolbox as well as communication libraries for UDP, TCP/IP and the FTP server and client.

CODESYS version 3

Compared to version 2, CODESYS 3 offers, among other things, extended language options as well as the possibility to create several PLC programs in one project. It also comes with the option to create new visualisation applications. In addition, web pages are now generated using HTML5, while customer-specific applications can be created by means of a plug-in programming tool.
