ESA Automation integrates its solutions for industrial automation with the development ambient that it\u2019s synonymous with industrial excellency.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m talking about <strong>CoDeSys<\/strong>, software to program according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IEC_61131-3\">IEC 61131-3 Standard<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Esaware<\/strong> is the perfect context for such an addition, because it increases the potential of the line and creates the ideal synergy for any application.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Esaware solutions and SoftPLC CoDeSys<\/h2>\n<p>Esaware is a range of products that was born from the desire to simplify the operator\u2019s job in order <strong>to make the productive process more efficient and therefore more sustainable<\/strong>. Hence the introduction of innovative technologies, capable of elevating the devices and platforms of this line to a superior level of functionality.<\/p>\n<p>Among these innovations, we find the development environment SoftPLC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.codesys.com\/\">CoDeSys<\/a>, a software to program PLCs according to the IEC 61131-3 standard.<\/p>\n<p>By choosing such a versatile system (CoDeSys satisfies all main requirements of the industrial field), ESA Automation has managed to adapt its solutions to any application and sector.<\/p>\n<p>Now the obvious question to be asked is: why is this integration so successful?<\/p>\n<p>First, thanks to the <strong>Crew SCADA<\/strong>, that, match with CoDeSys, guarantees faster and safer programming. In fact, on top of cutting the time to create variables and to download the project, it makes it possible <strong>to download both project in a single downloader<\/strong>. Plus, CoDeSys is a programming software that offers its users a wide choice of integrated features and libraries. And that is not all.<\/p>\n<p>CoDeSys Runtime perfectly integrates itself with Esaware HMIs, allowing you to<strong> control the application with the I\/O devices<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Find out more about the <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.esa-automation.com\/en\/en-new-io-ew600-and-integration-with-hmi-and-softplc-ew100ac\/\">new EW600 I\/Os and the integration with HMI and SoftPLC EW100AC<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Benefits of programming according to the IEC 61131-3 standard<\/h2>\n<p>Perfect for the industrial field, CoDeSys is the software for programming according to the IEC 61131-3 standard. In fact, it allows you to <strong>choose among five programming languages<\/strong> to develop your applications. Specifically: IL (Istruction list), LD (Ladder Diagram, linguaggio a contatti), ST (Structured Text), FBD (Function Block Diagram) and SFC (Sequential Functional Chart).<\/p>\n<p>Why is it so important? Simple: in industry, it is considered the ultimate SoftPLC. This is why ESA Automation has integrated the CoDeSys system in its PLC products.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of the <strong>IEC 61131 standard<\/strong>, developed by the <strong>International Electrotechnical Commission<\/strong>, Is to guarantee users an open development ambient, in which the PLC based control architectures are located. This standard is made up of various elements (nine, with a tenth on its way), although we are interested in number three: IEC 61131-3 Data types and programming.<\/p>\n<p>The benefit of choosing a programming software according the IEC 61131-3 standard like CoDeSys, consists in using an international standard that guarantees a standardization and, therefore, <strong>reduces errors and barriers<\/strong>, making programming more immediate and faster.<\/p>\n<p>Read the other articles of our blog to discover all the benefits of ESA Automation products.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The <strong>Internet of Things<\/strong> (IoT) represents what todays industry is all about.
