Codesys for Industry

Objectives
In this course, you will learn how to:
• Create a CODESYS projects
• Implement and control physical elements in a virtual environment
• Run virtual simulations to test your PLC programs
• Have the confidence to further explore the programming environment

Prerequisites
There is no need for previously proven software development/programming skills in order to successfully complete this course and the final project. It’s suitable for beginners without significant experience with programmable PLCs. All that is required is a CODESYS version 3.5 or higher to be installed on your laptop. 

Requirements
No physical PLC needed
Execution of an application on a virtual PLC installed together with CODESYS
