CODESYS HMI Platform solutions simplify industrial automation by integrating PLC control, HMI visualization, industrial communication, and edge computing on a single embedded device. Powered by NXP® i.MX8M processors, iWave’s HMI platforms enable faster development and smarter machine control for Industry 4.0 applications.
Traditionally, these capabilities required multiple hardware components, increasing system complexity, development effort, and maintenance costs. By combining CODESYS with iWave NXP® i.MX8M-based HMI platforms, developers can consolidate these functions into a single embedded device, accelerating product development while enabling smarter and more connected industrial systems.
CODESYS (Controller Development System) is one of the world’s leading IEC 61131-3 compliant automation software platforms for developing industrial control applications. It provides a unified engineering environment for creating PLC logic, HMI visualization, motion control, and communication functions.
Supporting industry-standard programming languages including Structured Text (ST), Ladder Diagram (LD), Function Block Diagram (FBD), Sequential Function Chart (SFC), & Continuous Function Chart (CFC) – CODESYS enables engineers to develop scalable automation solutions for a wide range of industrial applications.
CODESYS simplifies industrial automation by combining control, visualization, and connectivity within a single software environment, helping OEMs and system integrators reduce complexity and accelerate deployment.
