CODESYS Virtual Control SL is a containerized virtual PLC runtime for Linux devices.
CODESYS Virtual Control SL delivers the next generation of IEC 61131-3 compatible soft PLC as containerized runtime instances on x86 or ARM Linux devices. It supports dynamic creation of control instances with independent scaling, intercommunication, and IT orchestration methods for centralized control landscapes.
The product requires the CODESYS Development System with Docker or Podman and network licensing for concurrent controllers. It serves machine builders consolidating hardware controllers into software instances to cut procurement, wiring, operation, and maintenance costs.
