What, essentially, are the advantages of CoDeSys?
In addition to the common functionality there are a number of reasons that speak for CoDeSys. These are: • fast and low-cost customization to existing hardware due to ready backends • easy handling • speedy work, low requirement of resources • very short compiling times • compact project files (one file per project) • complete and practical keyboard use, particularly for graphic editors Complete Online Functionality: • monitoring of variables • writing and forcing of variables • single cycles • breakpoints, single stepping, call stack • sampling trace: precision cycle tracing and graphic display of variable values • power flow: display of lines passed, content of accumulator in and performance status in FBD • integrated visualization for commissioning, training courses, service, offline testing • offline simulation • online changes (changes while in operation) of any type or magnitude (refer to relevant question) • conversion between IEC languages • extensive support of following IEC t
