CODESYS Control Win SL

Product Basic Definition

CODESYS Control Win SL is an IEC 61131-3 standard soft PLC that runs on Windows systems. It has soft real-time capability and can convert industrial PCs into scalable high-performance PLCs. It is suitable for automation scenarios that do not require strict real-time requirements and can be used in building automation with CODESYS KNX SL.

Core advantages

Seamless integration with CODESYS development system, supporting program loading, debugging, running, and management

Directly manage the I/O system and fieldbus without the need for additional configuration tools

Support data retention in case of power failure, can be stored in hard disk, flash memory, battery backup SRAM

Built in full version OPC UA server for standardized data exchange

Fieldbus support
