Integrating creates a powerful hybrid architecture where CODESYS handles low-level, real-time industrial hardware protocols (like EtherCAT or CANopen) while ROS 2 manages high-level tasks such as motion planning and AI. This combination is often achieved through high-speed communication bridges like shared memory or Modbus TCP. Key Integration Approaches Shared Memory Bridge : Projects like ScalABLE40/robin
You must create a standard package that handles the "outside" communication. Create Package ros2 pkg create --build-type ament_python
Combining these two systems creates a powerful architecture where: CoDeSys ROS 2 node : A custom ROS
Hybrid Systems: A robot can adjust its behavior based on factory sensor data coming through a PLC, such as slowing down if a temperature sensor exceeds a threshold. Common Integration Strategies Hybrid Systems: A robot can adjust its behavior
