  • cMT
  • CODESYS
  • cMT X

The built-in CODESYS runtime for the cMT and cMT X series supports the following protocols for communicating with external party devices:

  • Modbus TCP/IP (Master, AKA. Client), up to 32 devices
  • EtherCAT (Master, AKA. Client), up to 65,535 devices
  • EtherNet/IP (Master, AKA. Client), up to 32 devices
  • CANopen (Master, AKA. Client), up to 126 devices
  • PROFINET (Controller, AKA. Master), up to 64 devices

When structuring a project in CODESYS IDE for the cMT Series’ built-in CODESYS runtime, users are advised to utilize the following drivers:

CODESYS IDE DeviceRecommended Version
Ethernet adapter (added above any drivers for connecting to ethernet devices)3.5.15.0
EtherNet/IP Scanner3.5.15.50
Modbus TCP Master/Modbus TCP Client3.5.15.0
EtherCAT Master/EtherCAT Client3.5.12.0
CANbus3.5.15.0
CANopen Manager3.5.15.0
PN-Controller3.5.12.60

Note: The built-in CODESYS runtime is not natively able to act as a Modbus TCP Slave/Server using a single Modbus Slave/Modbus Server device in the Device Tree of a CODESYS IDE project. Users can, however, utilize function blocks provided by the ModbusTCP Slave library to achieve similar functionality.

Note: The built-in CODESYS runtime must be running on a cMT series device featuring a CANbus interface to offer CANopen functionality in CODESYS IDE projects.
