Development for 3 Series Controllers
Software tools for previous controller models
Overview
With our 3 Series of controllers, the Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) and development language used is more specific to the controller model than that of the 4 Series. For example, development with logi.CAD using IEC languages only works with ESX.3cs and ESX.3cm models, while development with Code::Blocks using C language is compatible with all 3 Series models. Additionally, some software capabilities within openSYDE are reduced using some development paths. Due to this, we recommend openSYDE combined with logi.CAD using IEC as the optimal development path.

CODESYS
Automation Software for Mobile Machine Control Systems
CODESYS is a powerful development tool for control software based on the IEC 61131-3 standard. CODESYS combines the power of advanced programming languages with the easy handling and high-level interface of PLC programming systems. In addition, CODESYS itself can be used to run control software for real-time diagnostics and debugging by logging into the controller through a CAN interface and running a program through that interface.
openSYDE
A User Friendly Tool for System Design and Configuration
openSYDE by STW is the integrated development tool for time and cost-saving design, development, diagnostics, and commissioning of control systems for mobile machinery.
