1 CPX-CEC-...
1.1
Modular valve terminal with integrated controller CPX-CEC-...
You can find a complete description of the Festo CoDeSys controller CPX-CEC-... in the manual P.BE-
CPX-CEC-EN (see also CPX-CEC_en.pdf on CD-ROM).
A complete development environment based on CoDeSys 2.3.x from the company 3S - Smart Software
Solutions GmbH exists for the Festo CoDeSys controller CPX-CEC-.... This environment supports a large
number of different controllers from various manufacturers. These devices incorporate a wide range of
different features and functions.
In order to use a controller (target system) under CoDeSys, a so-called Target Support Package
is required for the relevant target system. The package allows access to the system functions of
the target system and includes useful information in the form of an online Help function. The
Target Support Package renders CoDeSys functions useable for the relevant device or restricts
them, depending on the circumstances.
CoDeSys 2.3.x can support all the features and functions of these devices with the relevant Target Support
Package. CoDeSys provided by Festo therefore contains many functions that are only available on certain
controllers. Not all of these functions are supported by all Festo CoDeSys controllers.
The function overview that follows shows which functions of CoDeSys provided by Festo are
supported by the CPX-CEC-....
1.2
CoDeSys provided by Festo for CPX-CEC-...
The manual applies to the following controller types:
CPX-CEC (with RS-232 communication interface)
–
CPX-CEC-C1 (with CANopen communication interface)
–
CPX-CEC-M1 (with CANopen communication interface and SoftMotion software package)
–
Unless otherwise mentioned, the instructions and explanations in this manual always apply to all controller
types.
1.2.1
What is CoDeSys provided by Festo?
CoDeSys stands for Controller Development System and is a development environment for PLC systems.
The control sequences are implemented with CoDeSys. CoDeSys simplifies communication with the
hardware by using five programming languages that comply with standard IEC 61131-3. The fact that
CoDeSys can be used independently of the hardware manufacturer allows the implementation of control
tasks in larger networks based on a uniform standard.
CoDeSys provided by Festo is a complete development environment for Festo CoDeSys controllers such
as the CPX-CEC, CPX-CEC-C1 and CPX-CEC-M1. It is based on the development environment CoDeSys
2.3.x from 3S - Smart Software Solutions GmbH that supports a wide range of controllers from different
manufacturers. These devices incorporate a wide range of different features and functions.
In order to use a controller (target system) under CoDeSys, a so-called Target Support Package
