POWERLINK IN CODESYS

Best reply by PLC2030

The Powerlink Configurator in CODESYS will not help because it is made for CODESYS controls with integrated Powerlink stack.
Depending on which connectivity function is supported by the B&R controller and on the performance requirements there are the following options in ctrlX CORE for data exchange:

  • ctrlX CORE EtherCAT master to EtherCAT slave on 3rd party control
  • ctrlX CORE with CODESYS fieldbus library to PROFINET Controller or Device or Ethernet/IP Scanner or Adapter on 3rd party control
  • ctrlX CORE with OPC UA Server to OPC UA Client on 3rd party control
  • ctrlX Core with OPC UA Client to OPC UA Server on 3rd party control

Additional options are planned for release milestone 22.07:

  • ctrlX CORE plus with PROFINET Device to 3rd party control with PROFINET Controller
  • ctrlX CORE with OPC UA PubSub to 3rd party control with OPC UA PubSub

Due to the limited market relevance of Powerlink, a Powerlink implementation for ctrlX CORE is not planned.
