Yunus is a mechatronics engineer with a background in 5G mobile communications and intelligent embedded systems. Before joining TKO and ipXchange, he developed and tested IoT and control-system prototypes that combined hardware design with embedded software. At ipXchange, Yunus applies his engineering knowledge and creative approach to produce technical content and product evaluations.
At the CODESYS booth, in collaboration with OnLogic, one message came through clearly: industrial automation is moving beyond fixed-function hardware and toward more flexible, software-defined control.
In the video, explains how control and safety can now run in software instead of relying only on dedicated PLC hardware. This makes it possible to use industrial PC platforms for tasks that once needed separate controllers.
The demo features CODESYS Virtual Control and Virtual Safe Control running on an OnLogic industrial PC. The goal is to deliver real-time performance, deterministic response, and functional safety on modern hardware. That is especially important for demanding applications such as robotics and factory automation.
Security is another key benefit. By using containerized software, manufacturers can reduce complexity and manage control systems in a more secure and scalable way. The setup also supports distributed safe I/O over EtherCAT and FSoE, giving engineers more flexibility in how systems are designed and deployed.
OnLogic adds the industrial hardware, lifecycle support, and deployment readiness needed for real-world use. Together, CODESYS and OnLogic are making it easier for manufacturers to modernize infrastructure, simplify system design, and scale across global operations.
This partnership shows that the future of automation is not just hardware-based. It is flexible, software-defined, and built for scale.
