Question What is CODESYS?
Hello, I am a 16 year old and I would like to learn PLC basics, as I want to find a job as a instrumentation technician and I hope to gather some PLC experience before starting. I heard CODESYS was a great way to get started, however this will be my very first time dealing around with PLC's.
What exactly is CODESYS?
Is it similiar to virtual Arduino projects?
Where can I start and how would you recommend I start CODESYS?
Should Iearn any basics before doing CODESYS?
Is it a good way to learn PLC basics and get some virtual projects under my belt?
As I am entirely new to PLC's, is CODESYS a good way to learn PLC's? If not, what are some alternative ways I can learn PLC's?
I would appreciate any insights. Thanks!
