    Hi all,
    I really like codesys 3.5 (from SP14) but it is kind of difficult to find industrial PLC which support codesys system and is widely available.

    What exactly I'd like:

    PLC like S7-1212C with some I/O extension for similar price available with Codesys runtime. Linux as base system is preffered. CANopen master (or EtherCAT) is needed.

    Any hints? Uncle google is not really helping, in codesys device database is missing basic price. Please try to avoid hints like raspberry... it is not meant to industry, nor have 24V I/O.

    Thanks!

    Regards
    Jan.

    The Wago PFC200 and the Eaton XV300 line as well as the XC152 support Codesys 3.5. Do not go with a xv102 series. The Wago PLC can also use NodeRed , as well as Wago's software e!COCKPIT and to use all of their IO modules you need to use e!COCKPIT because not all of them have support in Codesys. e!COCKPIT is based on Codesys 3.5 though.

    catalogue here. I have found Eatons tech support to be super helpful, and then you don't have to use support tickets here. But you do need to use their version of Codesys 3.5.

    The Wago line uses Linux. Here is info on the PFC 200.. You do need to buy a licence for this off the Codesys store though.

    Personally I think the Wago product is better even though I have to use the Eaton PLC's most of the time.

    Here are some good Youtube channels for Wago PLC's.

    I can tell you that you can get all of the above for much cheaper than what is available online. I get XV303 models for 1/3 the price I see listed online by negotiating with a local distributor.

    Beijer X2 control. Uses unbranded Codesy IDE.
    Ethercat, CANOpen and Modbus as standard.
