Description
The course explains the programming of the ESX.3xm controller 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.3xm.
The theoretical course content will be deepened with programming examples from practice.
Objectives
The participant
- Knows hard- and software requirements for programming the ESX.3xm
