Description
The course explains the programming of the ESX-3XM controller with CODESYS V3 including the STW-specific software, plugins, libraries and tools.
The course is intended for developers, who will program own applications for the ESX-3XM.
The theoretical course content will be deepened with programming examples from practice.
