So we went from depending on a specific PLC vendor to depending on the CODESYS Group. A company that introduced a proprietary project format just to charge 550€ per developer per year to be able to use git, which is a 100% free and open source version control system. And then we are still locked into an IDE freezing for several seconds every time we save the project. Revolutionary.

I get a kick out of them claiming they are a standard when likely north of 80% of all units shipped are AB, Siemens, Omron, Mitsubishi, Automation Direct, etc and are outside of Codesys.

I was seriously considering making the Schneider Electric Modicon M262 the new standard for all future upgrade projects in my plant, but decided against it when our senior electrician pointed out that our electrical maintenance staff would struggle with it.

You are not the only one backing up on a major project. Codesys seem very good reality in the field it is not suitable to make troubleshooting easy for programmers, technicians and electricians. People says it is very good to do Christmas lights and fun projects for the house.

Shouldn't there be a disclosure that this is sponsored content? My experience is that Codesys based systems take the 61131-3 standard and create an architecture lacking backward compatibility. There is a never-ending headache of having to manage multiple revisions of the development platform for different runtime revisions. The "soft-PLC" concept has been tried and failed multiple times in the past. A "bug" in your smartphone operating system is a minor inconvenience and easily patched. One in a factory control system could have severe economic and safety consequences.

CODESYS revisions and application management is similar to Microsoft C++ Runtime libraries or Java runtime revisions on your computer. Some are compatible with certain versions and some require versions above a certain level. But just like Windows, you never have an issue with compatibility if you choose a version stick with it instead of chasing the latest and greatest revision. Every version of CODESYS comes with revision-specific documentation, drivers, and runtimes, so you have what you need for a successful implementation. If you really look at commercial PLCs closely, what you described is very similar to the revision management of Rockwell PLC firmware revisions and Studio 5000 versions. I do not find CODESYS any harder to manage from a software revision standpoint than any other PLC software. Some are less prone to this issue (TIA Portal for example), but all have limitations. The beauty of CODESYS is that the single development platform can be used to develop runtime programs for any PLC CPU that is compatible with CODESYS, whereas only Rockwell Logix controllers can be programmed with Studio 5000 and only Siemens PLCs can be programmed with TIA Portal. True, soft PLCs have never taken over, first because they were dependent upon runtimes in Windows, and now, I believe because the controllers compatible with CODESYS have been very small platforms (Raspberry PI, microPLCs, etc.). The marketplace will determine if this approach thrives or fails to survive. In any case, CODESYS is useful, inexpensive as an educational or hobby platform for learning IEC logic programming, and has a built in visualization and simulation platform for debugging and troubleshooting.

I'm learning on a Schneider M221 and M262, however coming from Logix 5, 500, 5000 and Modicon Taylor/ProWorx NXT, the transition has not been seamless. This is sort of like knowing how to use Cisco equipment that has a 90% market share and someone creates a new "standard" that is used by a tiny sliver of the market. Time will tell, Rockwell has done a terrible job developing Studio since v24.

When you create a "standard project", you should be able to choose any of the programming languages, incluging Ladder Logic. If it does not show up, it might be because your CODESYS is not installed properly.
