CODESYS Alternatives

    CODESYS is described as 'is 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 nine alternatives to CODESYS for Windows, Linux and Mac. The best alternative is 4diac, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like CODESYS are logi.CAD 3 - Engineering Toolkit (Paid), LOGO! Soft Comfort (Paid), CX-One (Paid) and Outseal (Free).
