Integration between SoftPLC CODESYS and ESA Automation

Integrating SoftPLC CODESYS makes ESA Automation’s new range of products even more efficient, reflecting the values of Esaware: flexibility, dynamism and openness.

The real competition in Industrial Automation is no longer exerted on an hardware level, but rather in termsof software, and this is a reality the Bigs of this sector are now having to deal with. Now that features like USB gates, color display and Ethernet gates have become standard and not an optional, it’s fundamental to make a difference in terms of programming.

With this philosophy, ESA Automation decided to integrate the SoftPLC CODESYS Runtime in its HMI range of solution for Industrial Automaton. This system is one of the most powerful programming tool for PLC and it was created in order to satisfy all most recent requirements in this sector. Hence, these products are even more versatile and suited for any application.

SoftPLC: Why ESA Automation has chosen CODESYS

In order to offer versatile SoftPLC solutions, ESA Automation has chosen CODESYS, the SoftPLC that allows to use 5 programming languages guaranteeing to develop applications respecting IEC 61131-3 industrial standard. We have two text languages, ST (Structured text) and IL (Instruction list), and three graphics languages, FBD (Function block diagram), SFC (Sequential function chart) and LD (ladder), to program sequential and parallel processes.

Such versatility is what makes CODESYS the perfect match for Esaware, which has flexibility, dynamism and openness as its core values. The products are more user-friendly and suited for different uses, allowing users to choose which programming language reflects their needs the most. In this way their work is simplified and the result is maximized.

SoftPLC and synergy with Crew SCADA

The SoftPLC CODESYS system also offers a perfect synergy with ESA Automation’s SCADA Crew. Thanks to this union that consistent time saving is possible, both when creating the variables and when downloading the project. In fact, not only users can import an entire project in a transparent way, but they can download both projects through a single downloader.

SoftPLC CODESYS development ambient proves to be highly versatile, capable of combining the strength and the reliability of different advanced programming languages, with the ease of usage and the speed of the most common PLC programming systems.

These are the characteristics that have convinced ESA Automation to integrate the SoftPLC CODESYS system in its products, maximizing their performance even more. Do you want to find out more about #Esaware? Visit www.esa-automation.com.
