Technical Report: Integration of CODESYS and ROS2 Integrating

OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) is a platform‑independent, secure communication standard widely adopted in industrial automation. CODESYS includes built‑in support for an OPC UA server, which can expose any of its process variables as OPC UA nodes. On the ROS 2 side, a node can act as an OPC UA client using libraries such as open62541 (C/C++) or asyncua (Python) to read and write those variables.

For a team with both PLC programming and ROS 2 skills, here is a step‑by‑step guide to implementing a basic integration:

The integration of CoDeSys and ROS 2 can be applied to various industries and applications, including: Ready to start

mkdir -p ros2_codesys_ws/src cd ros2_codesys_ws/src ros2 pkg create --build-type ament_python codesys_bridge --dependencies rclpy std_msgs Use code with caution. Step 3: Write the Python Bridge Code

A simple example in CODESYS for publishing a Twist message via a ROS bridge looks like: Step 3: Write the Python Bridge Code A
