On one side, we have (Controller Development System). It is the invisible giant of industrial automation. Powering PLCs from hundreds of OEMs (including Wago, Beckhoff, Schneider Electric, and many more), CODESYS is the home of IEC 61131-3 languages (Ladder Logic, Structured Text, FBD, SFC, IL). It is deterministic, real-time, and reliable—the beating heart of factory floors, process control, and hydraulic presses.
A robot can adjust its behavior based on factory sensor data coming through a PLC, such as slowing down if a temperature sensor exceeds a threshold. Common Integration Strategies codesys ros2
