    Hi,

    please advise what touch panel to use with a Codesys 2.3 PLC (PLC is FESTO CPX-CEC-C1)
    I need about 10" (or between 8" and 12") touch panel with the following features:
    - connection to PLC via Ethernet
    - easy to setup communication
    - [preferably free] software for programming, including a panel emulator - so that I can test the connectivity with the PLC and work on/test the panel project without having the panel.

    Thanks for any suggestions

    Hi,

    The two things that come to mind are:

    1. Try CoDeSys HMI http://3s-software.com/index.shtml?en_CoDeSys_HMI. You can download a trial version for Windows and it's programmed with the same CoDeSys tool as you use for the PLC. However you have to get some hardware, a license and do some installation work to get a production version running. I haven't seen anything like a pre-configured touchscreen with CoDeSys HMI yet.

    Hope that helps!

    I use visualisation inside the PLC (WAGO)
    and a touchscreen (in real a simple PanelPC) from winmate 10"panelmount
    setup is very easy just put explorer on a fixed address.
    simulation is working as i have codesys running on a PC and i can see the vis on same computer.
