Industrial Automation & Software Engineering

CODESYS engineering

CODESYS is an IEC 61131-3 programming environment used across multiple PLC brands, including WAGO. GCG programs and maintains CODESYS projects as part of machine and process automation.

Engineering
Development, configuration and debugging in one programming environment.
Runtime
The software that executes the control application on a supported device.
Visualization
Operator interfaces for panels, PCs and HTML5 browsers.
Communication
Fieldbus integration and data exchange, including OPC UA and MQTT.

IEC 61131-3 programming languages

  1. Structured Text

    ST

    A textual language similar to Pascal, suited to complex logic and calculations.

  2. Ladder Diagram

    LD

    Graphical relay logic, familiar to electrical engineers.

  3. Function Block Diagram

    FBD

    Graphical, based on connected function blocks.

  4. Sequential Function Chart

    SFC

    For step-by-step process control and sequencing.

Motion, safety and controller management

The portfolio also includes motion, safety and central controller management. Runtime, device support, versions and licenses must align. A project from another PLC brand does not transfer one-to-one.
