The Codesys Group is now making its "Codesys Automation Server" available to Codesys users free of charge throughout the year due to the coronavirus crisis. In addition, the cloud-based Industry 4.0 platform for managing globally distributed control systems offers new functions.
"More than 100,000 users worldwide work with the IEC 61131-3 automation software Codesys and implement thousands of different applications," says Dieter Hess, Managing Director of the Codesys Group. "The current global situation shows us how valuable it is to be able to administer control landscapes centrally. Installing new versions, creating security via automated backups - all this is possible with the Codesys Automation Server without having to be on site."
According to Dieter Hess, in order to make a small contribution to the "social distancing" that is currently required, all Codesys users can now use the possibilities of the Industry 4.0 platform free of charge. The Codesys Group is offering this service until the end of 2020.
