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.
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
Core features for CODESYS
Programming with CODESYS is compliant to IEC 1131-3 in the programming languages:
- Instruction list (IL)
- Ladder diagram (LD)
- Function block diagram (FBD)
- Sequential function chart (SFC)
- Structured text (ST)
- Continuous function chart (CFC)
CODESYS is the programming environment for all XV/XC controllers from Eaton
For the XV100, XC150 and XC-202 controllers, Eaton offers targets for CODESYS V3
Maximum flexibility: the same hardware can be used for new (designed with CODESYS V3) and existing (programmed with CODESYS V2) generations of machines
Reduction of startup and maintenance time by using project simulation on the development-PC
CODESYS can communicate with GALILEO, such as for simple import/export of PLC variables
Realization of Lean Automation solutions based on SmartWire-DT technology.
CODESYS V3 offers:
A programming tool that can be expanded; using plugins to handle customer-specific adaptations
A modern development environment
Expanded language options (object-oriented programming)
Know-how protection for target and programming tool
Multiple PLC programs in one project
New and improved target visualization functions
Improved IT safety functions
Websites based on HTML5
Field bus configurators: CAN, PROFIBUS, SmartWire-DT, Modbus TCP/RTU (next version will also include: EtherNet/IP); more to come
