Codesys
Update for security applications
With the Codesys Safety SIL2 add-on, manufacturers can certify their Codesys-based control units, ECUs and PLCs for safety applications in accordance with IEC 61508 for SIL2 or EN ISO 13849 up to PLd with significantly reduced effort.
Codesys is established according to the international IEC 61131-3 standard in various industrial sectors, including mobile machines and automated embedded systems. A new feature is the pre-certification of the safety software for the Infineon CPU 'Aurix TC39x' with a so-called Platform Support Package (PSP). With this solution, the safety application can be processed separately from the functional part on a separate CPU core. This allows a 'compound safety' solution to be implemented. The package includes the Codesys Control Toolkit for implementing the runtime system on the target device, an add-on for the IDE and the fully adapted project files for the Aurix platform based on the tasking toolchain, which have been approved by TÜV Süd.
