Introduction to CoDeSys and ROS 2

CoDeSys (Controller Development System) is a software tool for programming and configuring industrial controllers. ROS 2 (Robot Operating System 2) is an open-source software framework for building robot applications. In this post, we'll explore the integration of CoDeSys with ROS 2, enabling the use of CoDeSys controllers in ROS 2 environments.

Part 5: Alternative and Complementary Approaches

The official CODESYS ROS 2 library is not the only path. Consider these alternatives for specific use cases: codesys ros2

Getting CODESYS (Structured Text/Ladder Logic) to talk to ROS2 (C++/Python) requires a middleware bridge. There are three primary ways to do this: 1. The Micro-ROS Approach Introduction to CoDeSys and ROS 2 CoDeSys (Controller

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) // Initialize ROS 2 rclcpp::init(argc, argv);

ROS-Bridge & WebSockets: A common approach involves using a ROS-Bridge client within CODESYS that connects via WebSockets to the ROS network. The Micro-ROS Approach int main(int argc, char* argv[])

// Shutdown ROS 2 rclcpp::shutdown();
