The TOP Server CODESYS Ethernet driver provides a communication interface to devices running CODESYS with the same level of performance, stability and ease of configuration as any other TOP Server driver. CODESYS based controllers are commonly found in food & beverage machinery, pharmaceutical processing & packaging machinery. CODESYS is an open source programming software for PLCs utilized by a number of device manufacturers such as Modicon and Elau (Schneider Electric), Advantech, Wago, Festo, Lenze and many others. Licensing is simple - a single license allows for unlimited tags and devices on a single PC. This driver is capable of working with many different versions of the CODESYS standard - see Protocols/Networks below.
- Maximum Number of Channels: 1024
- Maximum Devices per Channel: 256 (practical limits vary by system resources and architecture)
- Provides real-time data access to CODESYS V2.3 and V3-compatible devices (read/write)
- Fully-featured tag browsing capability
- Advanced Logging Support
- Automatic Tag Generation (directly from device and from project file)
- Configurable Request Timeout
