Real-time Ethernet broadly supported in the IEC 61131-3 Development System
Ethernet communication has become an essential part of IT and industrial communication. CODESYS offers advanced support for the most important Industrial Ethernet systems with integrated functions and products at various levels.
Functional Scope
Integrated Fieldbus Configuration
Bus configuration and the assignment of variables to the I/O channels (I/O mapping) directly in the IEC 61131-3 tool
Protocol stacks
for layer 7 communication as IEC 61131-3 library
Compile and transfer the protocol stack for EtherCAT and Sercos 3 to the target platform together with the PLC program
Comprehensive diagnostics functionality
Display, check and detect bus status, diagnostic messages, communication problems, error codes in the tool or directly from the controller application without additional tools
Requirements for Industrial Ethernet Communication in CODESYS
For EtherCAT and PROFINET
- Network card with operating system-dependent driver for example for Linux® and Windows (WinPcap)
- Alternative: specific CODESYS drivers with real-time properties for common Ethernet chipsets for SoftPLC CODESYS Control RTE under Microsoft Windows (included in scope of delivery)
- Alternative: Implementation of a MiniDriver to fit the Ethernet chip. Reference implementation for example for Intel® and Realtek® available
For EtherNet/IP
- Usage of standard Ethernet interfaces when using the CODESYS protocol stacks. Alternative: Industrial Ethernet fieldbus cards, e.g. from Hilscher® (netX-based cards with integrated protocol stacks)
Howtoget
You are a system integrator or a user in the machine or plant construction sector or the like:
Use controllers equipped with CODESYS Industrial Ethernet support. Millions of CODESYS-compatible single devices and over 1,000 different device types from more than 500 manufacturers offer you a large range of hardware for your automation projects. CODESYS Inside offers a selection of manufacturers that offer CODESYS-compatible devices.
In addition, the SoftPLC systems in the CODESYS Store can be licensed for Industrial Ethernet and can then be used with a suitable interface. Starting with the "Standard S" license class, the use of Industrial Ethernet protocols is included in the SoftPLCs.
You are a manufacturer of programmable devices:
Implement Industrial Ethernet support on your hardware and provide a standard Ethernet controller with IP stack on the device. Order the CODESYS Runtime Toolkit with support for the desired Industrial Ethernet systems.
Alternatively, enable Single License (SL) capability on your devices. This allows your customers to license Industrial Ethernet protocols themselves for their application.
Alternatively, you can enable Single License (SL) on your devices. This gives your users the ability to license Industrial Ethernet protocols themselves for their application.
