Supported standard platforms

Other target device platforms

In the CODESYS Development System, integrated compilers are available for the following CPU platforms:

• Renesas SH 2 / 3 / 4, V850™, RX
• Analog Devices Blackfin®
• NXP (Freescale) ColdFire®
• Texas Instruments DSP C2xxx™ / 28x™

The CODESYS Development System generates native machine code for all cited CPU platforms. As a result, the CODESYS Control runtime system can process the generated application code without an external compiler for optimum performance. Intelligent devices based on these and other CPU platforms can be equipped with CODESYS Control on request. Reference implementations are available for more frequently used combinations of CPU and operating system (see below). With customization support and services, implementing CODESYS Control is possible on almost any operating system platform.

Reference Platforms for Embedded Systems

CODESYS Control can be used on almost all platforms. It is regularly tested and updated on the following reference platforms.

How to implement CODESYS Control

• Installation of the CODESYS Control Runtime Toolkit with the available base components and add-on components
• Tool-guided selection and configuration of the components for the desired functionality of the runtime system
• Adaptation to the operating system interface, implementation of customized drivers or integrated add-on functions (“external libraries“), connection to external systems etc. on the basis of the provided interfaces
• Linking and compiling all components to the executable runtime system and implementation of the system on the target
• Provision of the device driver (Device Description file) for the usage of the device in the CODESYS Development System

Alternative:

Installation of SoftPLC systems for standard platforms, such as devices with x86/Arm-compatible CPUs and operating systems like Linux or Windows. These SoftPLCs can be purchased in the CODESYS Store. They can be adapted to typical tasks using the CODESYS Control Extension Package, e.g.

• Use of existing C code and APIs from the IEC application
• Support of local or connected I/Os, retentive data, start/stop switches
• Triggering of external events as well as registration on application events
• Provision of own configuration services using PLCShell commands

The package comes free of charge with the CODESYS Installer.
