Development for 4 Series Controllers
Software tools for our latest controllers
Overview
Software development for our hardware centers around various Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) paired with our open source software tool openSYDE. Our controller modules support a number of development languages and environments - with our latest series of controller primarily being developed for using openSYDE + logi.CAD with C or IEC Languages.

Benefits of openSYDE
Complete System Management
Manage your machine and network throughout its entire lifecycle in a simple development environment
Shared Device Data
Share data pools by creating global variables and lists that can be used to automatically update all devices.
3rd Party Compatibility
Easily work with third party products in your system layouts
Open Source
Regularly published source code licensed under GPL v3 - allowing you to add your own unique features if needed
Machine Lifecycle Support
openSYDE is designed to be the development environment of choice for supporting mobile machines throughout their entire lifecycle.

Features of openSYDE
Drag-and-Drop Networking
Connect and map communication networks using your own device graphics and simple drag-and-drop.
Functional Safety
Reduce your engineering effort - openSYDE automatically generates safety documentation that keeps you in compliance.
Device Template Management
Create template profiles for a device once, then easily add that same device type to your network any number of times.
Open File Format Workflow
Easily import and export industry standard file formats such as DBC, EDS, DCF, ASC, and BLF.
