How is data transferred between CoDeSys platforms?

Hello,

Data transfer between different CoDeSys platforms, such as from one Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to another, can be accomplished in several ways, depending on the specific needs of your project and the capabilities of your hardware. Here are a few common methods:

    Network Communication Protocols: Many PLCs support common industrial communication protocols such as Modbus TCP/IP, EtherCAT, CANopen, or Profinet. These protocols can be used to exchange data between different PLCs running CoDeSys. The specifics of setting up communication will depend on the protocol and the PLCs you are using.

    Shared Variables: CoDeSys allows for the definition of "global" or "shared" variables that can be accessed from different programs or even different PLCs, provided they are connected via a network. This can provide an easy way to transfer data between different parts of a CoDeSys project.

    CoDeSys Gateway: The CoDeSys Gateway is a software component that allows for communication between different CoDeSys devices and instances. This can be used for transferring data, uploading or downloading programs, and other tasks.

    File Transfer: If the PLCs support it, data can be written to a file and then transferred manually or automatically to another device where it can be read.

Remember that the specific steps and capabilities will depend on your hardware, the version of CoDeSys you are using, and the requirements of your project. Always refer to the specific documentation for your PLC and version of CoDeSys when setting up data transfers.
