CODESYS device definition

The task of device definition fits into the overall process as follows:

1. Installing your hardware.
   Your device and network installation will determine the devices that must be defined. The detailed installation of your hardware is beyond the scope of this documentation.
2. Configuring your hardware using the manufacturer’s CODESYS compatible software product.
   The entire capability and usage of these CODESYS software products is beyond the scope of this documentation.
3. Installing the runtime software and Workbench.
   Refer to the appropriate Installing product software section for installation information.
4. Ensure the node has the CODESYS driver package installed and the required license to enable the CODESYS driver functions.
   1. For information on how to add the CODESYS driver package, refer to System administration > Packages.
   2. For information on how to install a license, refer to System administration > Licenses.
5. Using the Workbench to define devices
   This task is described in the following sections. 

There might be differences between your Workbench windows and the example windows shown; however, the functional capabilities and logic flow will be similar.
