CODESYS and Wiren Board Controller

Review

CODESYS is an industrial automation software toolkit that allows you to write programs in IEC(IEC) 61131-3: FBD, ST, LD, SFC.

To use CODESYS with a Wiren Board controller, you need to buy the CODESYS Control for Linux ARM SL license. There is a demo version with a time limit.

Creating a project

Create a project:

1. Select File → New Project from the menu.
2. In the project settings, specify:
   • Device - CODESYS Control for Linux ARM SL.
   • PLC_PRG in is the preferred development language.

You can communicate with devices connected to the controller using the MQTT protocol via the built-in gateway Modbus RTU/TCP or directly via Modbus RTU.
