Powerful CODESYS add-on libraries for ctrlX PLC

The ctrlX PLC app benefits from powerful, additional CODESYS libraries that offer extensive functionalities: from simple motion control to complex CNC and robotics applications.

Motion projects are efficiently engineered using PLCopen Motion function blocks. Furthermore, the libraries enable the implementation of electronic gears and cam profiles. Integrated Cam and CNC editors, along with an axis group configurator for robot kinematics, simplify implementation.

Integrated fieldbus support within the IEC-61131-3 tool simplifies the connection of external devices through configurators, protocol stacks, and diagnostic functions for real-time Ethernet, classic fieldbuses, and various industry protocols. The certified EtherNet/IP library for the ctrlX CORE is particularly noteworthy.

WebVisu, which allows the creation and display of graphical user interfaces, completes the offering. Additional libraries support communication protocols (MQTT, HTTPS) and data formats (JSON, XML).
