Let’s discuss how many manufacturers use CODESYS as their lower-level programming software Let me mention a few first: Allen-Bradley DCS CONMAKER/PROWERPRO, ABB 907AC1131, Beckhoff TWINCAT
German Beckhoff, ABB AC500, Beijing AnKong
ABB AC31-90, AC500. There are also drive products such as ACS800 and DCS800. From German manufacturers, there are Beckhoff programmable bus controllers, Wago programmable bus controllers, and Turck programmable bus gateways. Allen-Bradley offers all PLCs except those that were originally OEMs of VIPA 200V, including the compact LM (G3) models and the large-scale LK models, as well as all the current mainstream DCS series: FM, SM, and NM. Ankong’s RTU controller.
Going upstairs – it seems that the security RTU doesn’t use CODESYS; instead, it uses OPENPCS. Its functions and operation are pretty similar
So far, I have used Beckhoff TWINCAT 2.10, Allen-Bradley DCS CONMAKER 3.13, PLC LK series PROWERPRO 4.0, and ABB AC500 – all of which are OEM versions of 3s software
Ankong’s new “DCS” now uses OpenPCS, which is an OEM product developed by the German party. In the past, its RTUs and dedicated PLC controllers were all Codesys.
It is certain that for ABB’s Smartpro, MACSV, and MACS6, CODESYS is used at the lower level; however, ABB’s HS2000 and MACS2 use a different system, one that was developed by ABB itself. I am quite familiar with this, as I have worked on such systems before. Hehe. Once I found out that ABB also used CODESYS, I became very curious, so I checked the 3S website and discovered that many other companies used it as well; here’s a link for you to take a look. http://www.3s-software.com/index.shtml?en_Company_ref
Beijing Digital Control Automation Ltd., Co. (DCA), Beijing/China; Xuzhou Hirschmann Electronics Co., Ltd., Xuzhou/China; Zhejiang SUPCON Electron.Co.Ltd., Hangzhou/China; HollySys, Beijing/China; Kinco Electric (Shenzhen) Ltd., Shenzhen/China; Shanghai Sheng Mao Control Equipment, Shanghai/China. It seems these are the only domestic companies listed here. Hehe, I’m quite curious about where CODESYSY is used in the central control system. Could someone who is familiar with it give me some information?
