CODESYS in the ENERGY INDUSTRY
IEC 61131-3 Software Suite - perfectly suited for energy automation applications
CODESYS has been contributing to the field of energy automation for many years.
Energy is a fundamental part of everything people do. Electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical energy must be managed more reliably, sustainably, efficiently, and safely. It is crucial that we optimize energy and process efficiency through forward-looking control solutions for the sustainable development of our living spaces. After all, as society develops at a rapid pace, the demand for energy is also increasing rapidly.
North America features some of the world’s richest wind, solar, geothermal, hydro and biomass resources. Today, solar and wind are expected to add more than 60% of utility-scale generating capacity to the U.S. power grid. The renewable energy industry powers more of the United States of America every day and is among the fastest-growing market.
CODESYS is an integral part of the energy industry. CODESYS meets all important requirements in the energy industry for the realization of cost-effective application solutions: fast data transmission, reliability, flexibility, and scalability. The CODESYS software suite is used as an efficient solution for intelligent automation everywhere - from sustainable energy production in biogas plants, the control of district heating systems, intelligent energy saving systems to smart cities. More than 100,000 wind turbines are already powered with CODESYS Software.
ADVANTAGES
- CODESYS meets all important requirements in the energy industry for the realization of cost-effective application solutions: fast data transmission, reliability, flexibiltiy, and scalability.
- CODESYS is a manufacturer-independent comprehensive and flexible system. All components for energy automation applications are integrated directly in CODESYS, including editors for all IEC 61131-3 compliant implementation languages (6), compilers for native machine codes, a powerful debugger, and a clear project configuration. Add-ons can further supplement these components for efficient application development.
- CODESYS controls more than 100,000 wind turbines.
The Telecontrol package with the IEC 60870-5-104 server in the CODESYS North America Store.
- CODESYS real-time is characterized by a predictable (deterministic) time behavior of a microseconds jitter. If a real-time system sets the task (by configuration) to execute certain routines within a predefined time frame, in CODESYS this happens down to a hundred microseconds cycle time.
- For efficient developments and diagnostics CODESYS has integrated analysis tests, simulations, and offline tests.
- The option to use Object Oriented Programming (OOP) designs facilitates modular and highly reusable code for control applications and significantly reduce development and maintenance time.
- The integrated safety (DIN IEC 61508) and redundancy functions in CODESYS are ideal for high availability and safety-critical applications.
- Engineers are provided with extensive runtime diagnostics information and can safely update the application without stopping it - securely from all over the world.
- CODESYS is used in applications for compact IP67 controllers in rough environments.
