Is codesys system programming the same as PLC programming?

Similar to PASCAL language, but with pointers, and PLC programming that supports the IEC61131-3 standard.

Software, then it will be roughly the same, such as ABB uses codesys programming software, and domestic and Lyse also use codesys, the hardware between them will be different, and the software is basically similar.

For example, Mitsubishi's GX IEC has a 99% similarity with Panasonic's FPWIN Pro.

I generally recommend that beginners still use the programming manual provided by the manufacturer as a starting point, although the early stage will be slower than the crash course, but it will not stop at the later stage because the foundation is not solid.

Now CHINT PLC is using Codesys

CodeSys is a development and programming system for the field of industrial automationThe application fields involve factory automation, automotive automation, embedded delayed automation, process resistance automation and building automation, etc.

Codesys software can be divided into two parts, one is the RTE (Runtime Environment) running in various types of hardware, and the other is the IDE running on the PC. Therefore, the users of CodeSys include both hardware manufacturers who produce PLCs and motion controllers, as well as users who end up using PLCs and motion controllers.

Codesys in action.

At present, there are nearly 400 control system manufacturers in the world that are CODESYS users: such as ABB, Schneider Electric, Eaton Electric, Bosch Rexroth, Beckhoff, Keba, Hitachi Hitachi, Mitsubishi Automation, Omron Omron, Advantech, ADLINK, NEXCOM, Hollysys, SUPCON Central Control Group, Buke Automation KINCO, Shenzhen Leisai, Inovance Technology, Shenzhen Hexin, Shenzhen INVT, Huazhong CNC, Gootech and so on.

Codesys programming covers both PLC programming and interface programming, but only for a few specific PLCs

Such as ABB and so on.

PLC programming refers to the programming of PLC hardware.

Different manufacturers have different programming environments!

At the same time, the programming environment of some PLC manufacturers is developed on the basis of Codesys, such as Schneider.

The difference is that CodeSys is closer to IEC61131, and CodeSys, as a general control system programming software that is separated from PLC hardware, is more comprehensive, more versatile and more applicable than each manufacturer's own PLC software.

ABB's PLC is programmed using Codesys software, and both domestic and immediate ones are available.

COCODESYS is DESYS is a general PLC and man-machine programming platform, not only ABB, Hollysys is in use, many construction machinery controllers are in use, Codesys is a platform, any company can use his platform to develop their own PLC products.

Other PLCs on the market use their own dedicated programming software, such as Siemens, Omron, Mitsubishi, etc., so you should understand.
