WAGO controllers now with CODESYS V3.5 in engineering

Open standards provide interfaces for co-creation, participants and partnerships and are the basis for many successful projects. This is why WAGO integrates the independent automation software CODESYS V3 into its business portfolio.

WAGO is integrating the manufacturer-independent CODESYS automation software and is now offering its controllers - the PFC200 Controller family, Touch Panels and Edge Controllers - with this technical standard. Established as an open standard for IEC-61131 development, CODESYS provides the features and technologies now used for state-of-the-art automation. Manufacturer independence and interoperability also create new opportunities for collaboration between different systems - and thus for partnerships and co-creation.

The benefits of using CODESYS are many:

• Manufacturer independence: use the same IDE* to program hardware from different manufacturers and benefit from perfect cooperation between different systems.
• Comprehensive connectivity: take full advantage of the numerous connectivity possibilities offered by CODESYS in combination with WAGO controllers. Supported features include Modbus, EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP.
• Free programming environment: start your programming immediately, with no additional expenses for the software and no licenses for the IDE, and benefit from easy handling.
• Large community: in addition to the support from WAGO, you can also benefit from the knowledge of the large, active Codesys community.
• Numerous features: discover the benefits of numerous new features and technologies, including project comparisons, various integrated fieldbus configurations, node point scans and much more.

WAGO also offers training courses to learn to program basic PLC programs in CODESYS V3.5 in conjunction with WAGO hardware. If you want to know more, check out the WAGO website.
