Product presentationsBuilding blocks for Industry 4.0
I4.0-capable components on machines and systems are essential for the smart factory of the future - everything from sensors and control systems to cloud connectivity is required. Below is a small selection.
With the release of Codesys V3.5 SP14, the range of functions of 'Codesys Control' has been extended. The runtime system is now available in a 64-bit version for all ARM/Cortex-based platforms, optionally with multi-core support for the Raspberry Pi, among others. Additional cyber security functions have been integrated to make systems equipped with this system fit for use in the Industry 4.0 environment: For example, users can now configure user management and communication encrypted and signed via X.509 certificates as a user option. In addition to the core functions in the runtime system, the additional component 'PLCHandler' has been expanded. It is available as a 64-bit version under Windows or Linux and enables any external systems, such as graphical user interfaces or configuration tools, to symbolically access the application software data. This communication channel can also be encrypted and supports simple standard monitoring for less performant embedded devices.
