CODESYS Application Composer Demo - Article no. 2101000006

With the CODESYS Application Composer you can customize, i.e. compile and parameterize, complete control applications from previously created software modules.

Modules are functional program units that can correspond both to machine or system parts as well as software functions. Along with the program code, modules typically include components such as visualization elements, parameterization or I/O allocations. With this they cover nearly all programming aspects that CODESYS offers.

The customization of the modules takes place in the module tree. In the process each entry corresponds to a module instance. In the insertion of new elements into the module structure only suitable modules are offered for selection. In the module properties the parameterization, the I/O configuration and the visualization selection are defined for the module instances. Simultaneously the configuration of sequencer modules can take place with the help of an easy-to-use sequence editor. From the module configuration a menu command generates the complete application code including visualization and I/O configuration. Application-specific code can be added in the form of extension modules and remains unchanged if the code is generated again.

With purchasing a functional license you acquire the possibility to create and use new modules or module declarations within the CODESYS Development System.
