Hi everyone,

CoDeSys is a software tool used for programming a variety of industrial automation controllers, such as PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers). It is designed to be compatible with a wide range of hardware devices.

Here are the basic hardware requirements to run CoDeSys software:

    Computer: You need a computer to install and run the CoDeSys software. This computer needs to meet the minimum system requirements for the specific version of CoDeSys you are using. As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, the general recommendation is a PC with at least a 1.3 GHz processor, 2 GB of RAM, and 10 GB of free disk space. The actual requirements may vary depending on the specific tasks you're performing and the version of CoDeSys you're using.

    Operating System: CoDeSys typically runs on Windows operating systems. As of my last update, it supports Windows 7, 8, and 10.

    Industrial Controller: You need a controller compatible with CoDeSys to deploy your programs. CoDeSys supports a wide range of industrial controllers from different manufacturers. It's important to check whether your specific controller is supported.

    Connection Cables: Depending on your controller, you might need specific cables to connect your computer to the controller. This could be a USB cable, an Ethernet cable, or some other type of connection.

    Optional Hardware: Depending on your specific application, you might need additional hardware. For example, if you're controlling real-world devices, you might need digital or analog I/O modules. If you're simulating a process, you might need specific simulation hardware.

Always check the latest requirements from the official CoDeSys website or your hardware manufacturer to ensure compatibility.
