CODESYS Runtime Test Package: This extension in the CODESYS Development System automates testing at the application level, providing pre-defined test scripts for quality assurance of runtime system implementations.

CODESYS Redundancy Toolkit: This toolkit enables redundant control systems, allowing two independent controllers to execute the same application and monitor each other. It supports fieldbuses like EtherCAT and PROFIBUS and includes library functions and OEM documentation for configuring redundancy.

CODESYS OPC Server: The OPC Server facilitates data exchange between visualizations or production data acquisition programs and the controller. It supports automatic client connection, data management, and multi-client/PLC support, and is certified by the OPC Foundation.

CODESYS Safety: Toolkits for developing and certifying safety controllers according to IEC 61508 SIL2/SIL3. It includes a pre-certified runtime system and integration manual, reducing integration and approval efforts.

CODESYS OPC UA Server: An additional runtime system component for controllers, providing configured variables for OPC UA clients and supporting OEM-specific object integration.

CODESYS PLCHandler: An API for communication between CODESYS-programmable controllers and client systems, allowing access to IEC 61131-3 variables and online services.

Benefits for Device Manufacturers: The CODESYS Control runtime system is widely used in industrial applications, offering flexible scaling, structured development efforts, and high market acceptance.

CODESYS C-Integration: Allows users to integrate existing or generated C code into the CODESYS project, facilitating seamless integration and modification of C source code within the development system.
