Safety controls implemented more quickly
The Platform Support Package (PSP) for Service Pack 16 of 'Codesys V3.5' accelerates implementation.
According to Codesys, the safety extensions for the 'Aurix TC29x' microcontroller from Infineon, which is popular in the field of mobile machinery, have been taken to a significantly higher implementation level. The entire runtime environment (runtime system) for the 'Aurix' platform has already been adapted and pre-certified in advance - including the interfaces for specific extensions or drivers from device manufacturers. This eliminates a large part of the work involved in implementing the runtime environment and its certification. ECUs and safety controllers implemented in this way are therefore ready for the market much faster.
Thanks to the multi-core architecture of the microcontroller, functional and safety applications can also be executed in parallel on one CPU (compound PLC).
The system optionally supports CANopen or CANopen Safety as a safe fieldbus - corresponding devices can also be configured and used together in a network.
