Discover the untapped potential of your industrial automation projects with this cutting-edge course – “Industrial Digital Twins for Automation - Godot and CoDeSys.” Whether you are an engineer, developer, or a fellow automation enthusiast, this course will walk you through creating highly realistic and interactive models of your machines and robots using Godot – a powerful game engine. You will discover how to integrate these digital models with the CoDeSys and PLC systems very fluidly to test and validate the information flow without employing the actual hardware.
"Godot's node-based architecture allows for a flexible and modular approach to game development, enabling rapid prototyping and iteration."
— Chris Bradfield, game developer and author.
Before starting this course, you should have a rough idea of PLC programming and have worked a little with CoDeSys. Further, definitiveness in high-level programming languages, especially C#, would be of great importance, as this course contains programming assignments.
This course, “Industrial Digital Twins for Automation - Godot and CoDeSys,” will endow you with fundamental knowledge regarding digital twin technology and its interaction with PLC systems. You will be able to embark, experiment, and implement complex automation systems in a simulated environment, which is thus the key to an excellent career in industrial automation. 1,000+ organizations leverage Strax to become industry leaders thanks to digital twins’ potential in automation.
"CoDeSys’s modular design allows for extensive customization and scalability, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial automation projects."
