Getting Started with PLC Studio AI

PLC Studio AI is an intelligent development environment that brings AI-powered code generation to industrial automation. Connect your CODESYS projects and use natural language to write, review, and improve your Structured Text code—all from your browser.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • CODESYS V3.5 SP16 or later installed on your machine
  • A PLC Studio AI account (sign up at the dashboard)
  • A modern web browser (Chrome, Edge, or Firefox recommended)
  • An active internet connection for AI features

Quick Start

Get started with PLC Studio AI in four simple steps:

1. Create Your Account

Sign up for a PLC Studio AI account through our dashboard. You can start with a free trial to explore the features.

2. Install the CODESYS Bridge

Download and install the CODESYS bridge script that enables communication between CODESYS and PLC Studio AI. See the installation guide for detailed instructions.

3. Connect Your Project

Open your CODESYS project and run the bridge script. PLC Studio AI will automatically detect your project structure, including all POUs, GVLs, and DUTs.

4. Start Coding with AI

Use the AI chat to generate, modify, or explain your Structured Text code. The AI understands your project context and can help you write better code faster.
