Description

Licensing:

Single device license

The product CODESYS Control RTE SL is a real-time software PLC for PC-based industrial controllers under Windows. The runtime system has its own real-time kernel, which enables deterministic behavior with jitter in the area without additional hardware components or operating system extensions.

The Mutlicore license CODESYS Control RTE MC SL extends the CODESYS Control RTE SL to include the ability to distribute the IEC application across several CPU cores. The application specifies whether the distribution of tasks is to be completely transferred to the operating system or whether tasks such as motion, communication or visualization should be processed on individual cores. With the multi-core extension, the optimum distribution can be set for each application and monitored via integrated core monitoring.

Benefits

  • Better real-time behavior of independent tasks
  • Better performance of the overall system
  • More load balancing options in the operating system
  • Maintaining data consistency
  • Longer CPU lifetime

Functions

  • Run-time system expansion for multicore operation of the CODESYS Control RTE SL
  • Extension of the task configuration in the CODESYS Developement Systems to bind individual IEC tasks (tasks or Task groups) to different CPU cores
  • Tracing the load balancing of the multicore application within CODESYS

Fieldbus support

Fieldbuses are licensed as part of the product “CODESYS Control RTE SL”.

Licensing

Single device license: The license can be used on the controller on which the CODESYS runtime system is installed.


The license activation is done on a software-based license container (soft container), which is permanently bound to the control system. Alternatively, the license can be stored on a CODESYS key (USB dongle). By redefining the CODESYS Key, the license can be used on another controller.

Note: Without a license, the software runs in demo mode for two hours. Then a manual restart is required.

Required accessories

Optional: CODESYS Key
