CODESYS — Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, we have several products that support PROFINET. HMI products, Network Switches, CODESYS enabled HMIs
Yes! Our CODESYS SoftPLC Platform does support Profinet IO Master functionality now! This enhancement allows our advanced and high-performance HMIs and cMT-CTRL01 to function as a Profinet IO controller, facilitating command transmission to various Profinet IO devices, such as remote IO, drives, and sensors. This upgrade significantly boosts system integration and scalability, delivering a comprehensive Profinet communication protocol solution.
Our CODESYS-activated HMIs deliver fast, reliable local visualization for machine-level applications. For supervisory-level projects, Maple IPCs support CODESYS WebVisu, and when paired with our Web HMIs, you get an industrial-grade touchscreen that can display any WebVisu project—no extra licensing required.
It depends on which protocol you’re using . Our CODESYS-activated HMIs use Modbus TCP/IP, EtherCat, CANopen, EtherNet/IP, and PROFINET
Make sure your device supports CODESYS, install CODESYS IDE, install CODESYS & Remote IO Package, open EBPro Utility Manage, select your device, upgrade Firmware. All downloads available in our support center.
Some users may implement Array of Arrays tags in CODESYS or Schneider PL programs to create a multi-dimensional array. These will not function properly when imported into EBPro and cause errors. To resolve this, users can instead use alternative syntax to declare multi-dimensional arrays.
Project files may not exceed the available memory on the cMT CODESYS runtime, or errors will occur.
Select cMT and cMT X series devices can operate their own built-in CODESYS runtime to run PLC programs defined in CODESYS IDE.
The CODESYS runtime is compatible with a wide range of standard libraries and features available in CODESYS IDE, with some limitations. Generally, libraries that do not require OS and hardware support are compatible with the cMT Series CODESYS runtime.
The built-in CODESYS runtime for the cMT Series HMIs supports: Modbus TCP/IP, EtherCat, EtherNet I/P, CANopen, PROFINET
PROFINET (Process Field Network) is an industrial Ethernet-based communication protocol used for automation and control systems. PROFINET is designed to enable real-time communication between industrial equipment in manufacturing environments and…
