8. CODESYS Quick Start
CODESYS is a hardware independent developing environment which can be used to create control
applications on a target system (here CENTRAX CUx000). For creating the application any of the
programming languages according IEC 61131-3 can be used.
A detailed description of CODESYS is available via the help menu inside the developing environment.
The following information is a brief introduction to the operation of CODESYS.
8.1 CODESYS development environment
In order to be able to use the control functionality of the devices of the CENTRAX series the CODESYS
development environment is required. This can be downloaded free of charge from our homepage

in a version tested with the devices. All necessary licenses are stored in the hardware and are therefore
included in the scope of supply.
Install the CODESYS development environment on your PC
8.2 CENTRAX device description
