CODESYS runs on everything from Raspberry Pis to high-end industrial IPCs, making it an ideal gateway to ROS2. Architectures for Communication
A CODESYS-controlled Delta robot receives high-level coordinates from a ROS2 node running or a neural network. ROS2 identifies the object's orientation, and CODESYS executes the precise high-speed motion profile. Digital Twins and Simulation codesys ros2

Set up an OPC UA Server in CODESYS and use a ROS 2 node as an OPC UA Client with libraries like asyncua (Python) or open62541 (C++). Digital Twins and Simulation Appendix A: CODESYS library
CODESYS on Beckhoff CX series (or Wago PFC) running EtherCAT. Soft real-time / AI: NVIDIA Jetson Orin running ROS 2. Communication: Shared memory via DDS over a dedicated Ethernet link (or PCIe if using same x86 backplane).
We are moving toward a hybrid future. The notion that "robotics runs on Linux and automation runs on PLCs" is obsolete. The machine that can do both will win.
