The convergence of Industrial Automation (Operational Technology, or OT) and advanced robotics (Information Technology, or IT) is redefining the manufacturing landscape. At the heart of this revolution is the integration of , the leading IEC 61131-3 development environment for programmable logic controllers (PLCs), with ROS2 (Robot Operating System 2) , the de facto standard framework for open-source robotics research and advanced autonomous systems.

As industries move towards flexible manufacturing, the need to combine high-level AI/computer vision (ROS2) with low-level, real-time safety control (CODESYS) has grown. This article explores how to bridge these two technologies, the architectures involved, and the benefits of a ecosystem. 1. Why Connect CODESYS with ROS2? As industries move towards flexible manufacturing, the need
Flexible and easy to set up for state monitoring or simple command input. Implementing the Bridge: A Conceptual Workflow Why Connect CODESYS with ROS2
The "CODESYS ROS 2" integration allows these two giants to communicate seamlessly. This article explores why, how, and where you should implement it.
Since CODESYS (IEC 61131-3) and ROS 2 (DDS-based) don't speak the same native language, you need a "translator." There are three primary ways to build this bridge: 1. The MQTT / OPC UA Gateway The most common "low-code" approach. CODESYS acts as an OPC UA Server . A ROS 2 node acts as an OPC UA Client
