WAGO now supports the genuine CODESYS 3.5 from the new FW23, giving you more programming options for your PFC 200 Controller.
CODESYS 3.5 allows the use of Fieldbus, including EtherCAT Master/Modbus/Ethernet/IP, and is compatible with existing projects created with WAGO’s e!COCKPIT.

Install the Targets
You need to install the Wago Device Support Packages in the Codesys IDE. For example, to run Codesys Runtime on a Raspberry pi, you would install the Raspberry “Target” in Codesys and create a Codesys Project for Raspberry. It is the same logic.
Download “WAGO DSP for CODESYS V3” from the link below.
The library is about 600MB in size.
Inside, there is a Folder called WAGO Device and Libraries, move WAGO_Devices_and_Libraries_xxx to a different Directory.
Start CODESYS, Go to Tools>CODESYS.
