A free software upgrade adds standard
IEC 61131-3 programming methods, increasing options available to
controls engineers for ease of use and versatility
Temecula, CA - February 4, 2019 – Opto 22 announces the addition of
international standard IEC 61131-3 programming options in its groov
EPICŪ edge programmable industrial controller. Adding these new
programming options to the existing flowchart and custom user-written
options in groov EPIC gives control engineers the ability to program
using a variety of languages they already know, while taking advantage
of the EPIC’s extended capabilities for automation and industrial
internet of things (IIoT) applications. All IEC 61131-3 standard
languages are supported by groov EPIC, including Function Block Diagram
(FBD), Structured Text (ST), Sequential Function Charts (SFC), and
Ladder Diagram (LD).
Adding the IEC 61131-3 option gives engineers several key advantages.
First, they can pick the best software tool for their specific
application. Second, they can mix and match several software tools to
build control and IIoT solutions on one unified platform. And last,
companies can continue to leverage existing employee knowledge in IEC
61131-3 programming methods, including decades-old ladder logic.
The PC-based CODESYSŪ Development System V3 is used to create and
compile IEC 61131-3 programs for download to a pre-installed CODESYS
Runtime running on groov EPIC. The CODESYS Development System is
available at no charge from the CODESYS Store at
https://store.codesys.com. The CODESYS Runtime on groov EPIC is enabled
by a free software license available from Opto 22.
