Description

If the CODESYS TargetVisu ​​component is implemented in the CODESYS Control runtime environment of an automation device, the device can display graphical user interfaces on the integrated or connected display or be operated via them. The user interfaces are developed together with the development of the IEC 61131-3 application project directly in the CODESYS Development System.

Two licensing models are offered for the visualization expansion of a control system:

  • CODESYS TargetVisu ​​(Full / Embedded / Light) Performance-dependent volume licensing for all controllers of a device family by the controller manufacturer, for general visualization options for the end user.
  • CODESYS TargetVisu ​​SL (Full) Hardware-based single licensing (SL) by the end user, for a device with interface to an external display unit and complete visualization preparation.

CODESYS TargetVisu ​​(Full)

Support of all elements of the CODESYS Development System on a controller with a CODESYS Control Runtime.

CODESYS TargetVisu ​​(Embedded)

Reduction of the range of functions of CODESYS TargetVisu ​​(Full) to support devices without their own graphics library and low system resources.

CODESYS TargetVisu ​​(Light)

Hardware-dependent, minimal graphical functionality of a visualization option with minimal memory requirements to support the simplest devices. All options can be combined with the CODESYS WebVisu product to display generated masks on display devices with a web browser. The graphical displays are configured using the editor integrated in the CODESYS Development System.

Visualization management via:

  • Specification of the display on the target device (update rate, pixel width, pixel height)
  • Consistent change of all masks via CODESYS visualization styles
  • Action management by assigning hot keys or mouse events
  • Defining user groups for the graphical interface

Requirements

Programming system CODESYS Development System V3.5.5.20
Runtime system CODESYS Control V3.5.5.20
Supported platforms/devices Platform* and device independent, depending on the availability of the CODESYS Control Runtime. For example:

  • LINUX (OSADL)
  • Windows (8/10 with 32/64 bit)
  • Windows Embedded (CE, Standard)
  • VxWorks
  • QNX

The overlay function for TargetVisu ​​has been available since CODESYS Control V3.5.17.0. This function is available for Linux and Windows based systems. For Linux environments, a corresponding Qt SDK of at least version 5.11 must be available. For Windows, a 10/64-bit system is required.

The versions maintained by Microsoft are supported.

Note: Use the Device Reader project to determine the functions supported by the controller. Device Reader is available free of charge from the CODESYS Store.
Additional requirements WIBU CodeMeter support

For Linux / QNX

QT4

  • libQtCore
  • libQtGui
  • libQtNetwork
  • libQtWebKit (When using TV Webbrowser Element)
  • libQtSvg (When using SVG features)

QT5

  • libQt5Core
  • libQt5Gui
  • libQt5Network
  • libQt5PrintSupport (from V3.5.17.0 for Printing Support Feature)
  • When using TV Webbrowser Element:
    • libQt5WebEngine

    • libQt5WebEngineCore
      or
    • libQt5WebKit
    • libQt5WebKitWidgets
  • libQt5Svg (When using SVG features)
  • when overlay features are used (from V3.5.17.0)
  • libQt5Quick
  • libQt5Qml
  • libQt5QmlModels (if Qt >= 5.14)
restrictions Support for the available functions depends on the operating system selected. To display any number of visualization elements, sufficient memory and processor power on the device are mandatory. The devices must have the appropriate hardware support (display, touchscreen or input components).
Licensing Single device license: The license can be used on the controller on which the CODESYS runtime system is installed.

The license is activated on a software-based license container (soft container) that is permanently linked to the controller. Alternatively, the license can be stored on a CODESYS key (USB dongle). The license can be used on another controller by replugging the CODESYS key.
Required accessories Optional: CODESYS Key
