The integration of CoDeSys and ROS 2 offers a powerful combination of industrial automation expertise and robotics flexibility. By leveraging the strengths of both technologies, developers can create sophisticated automation applications that benefit from high-performance control, scalability, and flexibility. As the industrial automation and robotics industries continue to evolve, the integration of CoDeSys and ROS 2 is poised to play a key role in shaping the future of automation and robotics development.
CODESYS, ROS2, Industrial Robotics, Real-Time Systems, DDS, EtherCAT, IEC 61131-3.
The most exciting development for high-performance applications is the implementation of DDS directly onto the controller. Since ROS2 uses DDS as its middleware, a PLC that speaks DDS can essentially act as a native ROS2 node.
Historically, getting these two to talk required custom middleware, messy socket programming, or expensive hardware gateways. However, as Industry 4.0 advances, the demand for "Industrial ROS" has led to a convergence. Today, integrating CODESYS with ROS2 is not just possible—it is becoming a best practice for building robust, scalable robotic systems.
No standard solution exists for bidirectional, low-latency communication between a CODESYS PLC and a ROS2 system.
