Object ‘Device’ and Generic Device Editor¶

Symbol:

A device object represents a type of hardware; examples: control device, fieldbus node, bus node, drive, I/O module, monitor. The arrangement of the device objects in the device tree, that is the view devices in CODESYS, maps the hardware structure. In the device object configuration editors inter alia you connect the controller I/Os with project variables.

Use command Add Device or Insert Device to insert a device object in the device tree. Depending on the insert position CODESYS always offers the currently matching devices.

A double-click on a device object in the device tree opens the associated device editor. The editor provides generic and device-specific tabs for the device configuration.
