Integrated Compilers

Compilers integrated in CoDeSys turn the controller application into fast machine code and optimize the performance of the controller programmed. All commonly used 16- and 32-bit processors are covered. The user profits because he can work with all sorts of different
CoDeSys devices without having to change the way he programs his application. Already when entering his application code he receives feedback from the compiler such as syntax errors or warnings which is already issued before compilation and can immediately be reacted upon.

The compilers support digital (Boolean) and analogue data types such as Integer types, bit variables, time and date types (TIME, DATE etc.), floating point types, Strings and UNIONs. In addition to the IEC language scope the CoDeSys compilers also offer extensions such as bit access, array access to Strings and typed pointers which allow for system focused programming.
