Description
The course explains the hardware functions of the ESX-3CS controller and the programming with CODESYS V3 including the STW-specific software, plug-ins, libraries and tools.
The course is intended for developers, who will program own applications for the ESX-3CS.
The theoretical course content will be deepened with programming examples from practice.
Objectives
The participant
- Knows hard- and software requirements for programming the ESX-3CS
