This application-based license is specifically designed for use with CODESYS Virtual Control for Linux SL. It enables CODESYS Visualization with support for up to 2048 data points. CODESYS Visualization is an add-on product for CODESYS Control SL that provides a graphical user interface (visualization/HMI). Depending on the device’s expansion level, the visualization can be used as either WebVisu or TargetVisu. CODESYS WebVisu enables graphical user interfaces to be displayed on HTML5-capable web browsers connected to the control device via a data network. CODESYS TargetVisu allows graphical user interfaces to be displayed directly on the control unit’s panel, provided the device includes a display. Data points are IEC variables used within the visualization. Complex elements, such as tables or trends, use additional criteria to determine the required number of data points. The following licenses are available for CODESYS Visualization. Benefits of CODESYS Visualization: Integrated into the CODESYS Development System for seamless visualization/HMI development Enables development independently or combined with the PLC application within a single project Supports scalable projects with unlimited usable data points Simplified application creation through executed project configuration Access to data in the control network via data sources Expandable element library, including user-created visualizations with parameter interfaces Direct loading of visualizations from the development environment to the controller Comprehensive display of all CODESYS Visualization functions and elements, including alarm management, trace and trend display, user management, recipe management, visualization styles, multilingual support, and integration of HTML5 controls within CODESYS WebVisu Licensing Single Device License: The license can be used on the controller where the CODESYS runtime system is installed. The license is activated in a software-based container (soft container) that is permanently bound to the controller. Note: Without a license, the software will run in demo mode for two hours. After that, a manual restart is required. Please note that the use of these application-based licenses requires CODESYS Development System V3.5.19.7 or higher and CODESYS Virtual Control SL Runtime Software Version 4.12.0.0 or higher. Source: The required software can be obtained from the WAGO Download Center: CODESYS: https://downloadcenter.wago.com/latest-of-productgroup/codesys Runtime: https://downloadcenter.wago.com/software/latest/runtime-codesys-virtual-control-linux Demo Mode A controller without a license runs in demo mode for two hours. After this period, the runtime system will shut down and must be restarted manually. The functionality of demo mode is not restricted, but unlicensed functions have a shorter demo runtime (e.g., fieldbuses operate for 30 minutes). License Check When an application-based license is available on the controller, all criteria are checked against the limit stored in the license. If any criteria exceed the defined limit, the application download or boot application loading will be blocked. No transition to demo mode occurs. This prevents the system from reverting to a time-limited demo mode during production.
