Introduction to CODESYS and the CODESYS Simulator!

We're back!!! Thank you for everyone's patience, it has been absolutely hectic at Scantime over the last 6 months but i've been able to secure some time to release more videos! This time, we're taking a look at CODESYS and how to setup your first project and access the Simulator.
Check out CODESYS here: www.codesys.com/
If you're looking for PLC training for yourself or your engineers, we provide both eLearning and hands-on PLC training courses working with a variety of different PLCs and programming software! Check out what we have available here: www.scantime.co.uk

This is a great tutorial for Codesys, I just downloaded this program a few days ago because one of my colleagues recommended it to me. He’s been using it for years and now he’s been showing me how to use it so I can start actually learning how to code PLC’s. I’ve been looking for a software package like this for years because I really want to leant how to code PLCs so I can get more involved in the Automation field. Thank you for the tutorial videos, I will be sure to work my through each of them.

Good luck on your journey!!

Awesome presentation and very easy to follow. Thanks Heaps

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

Glad you liked it!

Very useful Video and Thanks for making it

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

Thanks and welcome

[@jensvonbustenskjold]

Thank you for this video! I really appreciate it =)

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

You are so welcome!

[@dave11282]

very useful, thanks. Do you have a tutorial for implementing this basic circuit to an HMI and simulating using the HMI software?

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

Yes, inside of CODESYS playlist.

Iam so excited to learn about codesys
However i failed to know which brands of plcs i can use codesys with?
And can i upload a software from lets say Siemens plc to the pc using codesys?
Or is it only for coding? And what communication protocols it support?
It's these things iam interested in before i invest too much time to learn it

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

CODESYS actually have their own PLCs that you can use along side this which can also talk to remote IO on the shop-floor. This would usually be done through Industrial Ethernet.

Hey. Do you know if there is any free softplc software out there to codesys?

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

I would need to check

[@user-iw5cl7vk2y]

nice video for new comers

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

Glad you think so!

[@sillydog3647]

Hello，does codesys simulator support Modbus TCP communication protocols？If I can simulate to Factory IO without hardware？🥰🥰🥰

[@kevincorbett9007]

It can. Codesys installs a soft plc which is basically a full body plc running from your PC.

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

Have a look at the reply above

[@sillydog3647]

@@ScantimeAutomationTraining Thanks，I'll try it😀

Why do people always need to put obnoxious music in the background of these plc video's? We're trying to learn something and it's so much harder to focus when music is almost as loud as your voice

Oops
