Today, we will introduce you to CODESYS, one of the most exciting technologies in the industrial automation space in the last few years. You will learn what CODESYS is, why CODESYS is important, and how you can invest in your career by learning CODESYS starting today.

When people talk about CODESYS, which is short for COntrols DEvelopment System, they are really talking about two related pieces of software.

1) The first piece of software is an Integrated Development Environment known as the CODESYS Development System.

Programmers and controls engineers can use the CODESYS Development System to write control applications using the IEC 61131-3 programming languages and to create visualizations for those control applications.

In case you are not familiar with it, the IEC 61131-3 standard is an international standard that defines the programming languages used to program PLCs.

The programming languages defined in this standard include Ladder Diagram, Function Block Diagram, Structured Text, Instruction List, and Sequential Function Chart.

2) The second piece of software is a runtime. The runtime executes applications developed in the CODESYS Development System and serves the visualizations for those applications to clients.

The CODESYS runtime is typically installed on a PLC but can be installed on any intelligent device that meets the runtime's minimum requirements, such as a Raspberry Pi.

When the runtime is installed on a device, we say that the device is CODESYS-compatible since the device can execute CODESYS applications.

This is a really exciting feature of CODESYS because it allows programmers and controls engineers to develop truly hardware-independent applications.

3S, the company behind CODESYS, is a software company. They develop the CODESYS Development System and runtime and generate revenue by licensing the runtime to PLC manufacturers.

By partnering with CODESYS, PLC manufacturers can focus on their core competency of building innovative PLC hardware and leave the software development to CODESYS, who specialize in developing control software.

By learning CODESYS, PLC programmers can learn how to use the CODESYS Development System and use those skills to develop control applications for any CODESYS-compatible PLC.

This makes a programmer’s PLC programming skills more transferable and reduces the need for retraining when moving from one job to the next.

Since so many individuals and companies are using CODESYS, a lot of feedback is given to 3S which allows them to rapidly introduce and test new features, and discover and fix bugs in the software.

This is one of the reasons why the CODESYS Development System is so advanced with innovative features like Object Oriented Industrial Programming included.

One of the best things about CODESYS is that you can download and use the CODESYS Development System for free: https://us.store.codesys.com
