7 CODESYS V3 Development Environment
7.1 Installing CODESYS on the Project Engineering PC
CODESYS is a device-independent system for programming control units. It conforms to standard IEC
61131-3 and supports all standardised IEC programming languages plus the integration of C code routines
and object-orientated programming.
In conjunction with runtime system CODESYS Control Win V3 it also allows the use of "multi-device" and
"multi-application" programs. Owing to its component-based architecture, it supports customer-specific
configurations of and extensions to the user interface.
Before installing CODESYS, please read and take note of the system requirements.
System requirements
Operating system:
Windows 7 (Service Pack 1 or higher) / 8 / 10 (32/64 bit),
appropriate PC hardware matching the Windows version installed.
7.1.1 Installing the device description in CODESYS V3
Before the IEC 61131-3 development tool can be used to operate a device, CODESYS V3 is to be made
known to the device as the runtime system.
A separate plug-in, the Device Repository, provides the local system and your projects with the device
definition management functions. Among other features, it contains commands of category Devices which
you will normally find in the Tools menu.
Open the Tools menu and pick Device Repository...
Screen Device Repository is displayed.
Expand the tree at node Control Units (PLC).
The Device Repository hosts the descriptions of all devices currently installed on the local system and makes
the devices available for CODESYS programming. Devices are installed in and uninstalled directly from the
Device Repository.
Screen Device Descriptions Installed displays the Name, Vendor and Version of every device that is
currently installed. Click on the plus and minus signs to expand or collapse the branches.
