CODESYS EtherCAT

CODESYS is one of the most common IEC 61131-3 programming systems for PLCs and industrial controllers. Far more than 300 manufacturers of hardware components for the automation industry rely on it.

CODESYS V3 supports EtherCAT as a portable IEC 61131-3 library, thus making EtherCAT masters available for the wide range of CODESYS partners and users.
