As an essential component of the ctrlX AUTOMATION platform, ctrlX PLC Engineering is a programming environment for creating software applications according to the IEC 61131-3 standard. It uses a CODESYS basis, extended by Rexroth-specific adaptations/extensions. CODESYS is the leading manufacturer-independent software for configuring control systems.
The development environment provides a variety of convenient engineering functions for development work, such as:
- Editors for FBD, LAD, STL, ST, AS, in addition the variants CFC and extended CFC
- Support of object-oriented programming
- Comprehensive project comparison, also for graphic editors
- Library concept for easy reuse of application code
- Debugging and online properties for optimizing the application code and for accelerating testing and commissioning
- Security properties to protect the source code and the operation of the controller
- and much more...
