CODESYS Alternatives

CODESYS is described as 'The leading manufacturer-independent IEC 61131-3 automation software for engineering control systems. It is used to program many hundreds of different controllers, PLCs, PACs and other automation system, even via an Industry 4.0 interface' and is an app in the development category. There are more than 10 alternatives to CODESYS for Windows, Linux and Mac. The best CODESYS alternative is logi.CAD 3 - Engineering Toolkit. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try 4diac or Outseal. Other great apps like CODESYS are LOGO! Soft Comfort, CX-One, TIA Portal and LogicLab.
