Using OPTA CODESYS® will lead you to one of the most popular PLC software platforms in the US. Choosing from one of 6 IEC 61131-3 languages, create a project for your OPTA solution. All the standard features of CODESYS® 3.5 are offered including visualization manager and simulation mode. ​

The Environment

Configure the OPTA controller with ease using the well laid out integrated plug-in. Set up the gateway, connect the OPTA, login – done.

The Configuration

Add up to 5 expansion modules for each controller. ​Analog, EMR, or SSR versions.​
