Programming languages used by efa’s Design Office
We are experts in the main PLC programming languages, guaranteeing robust and optimised solutions.
Off-road vehicles require on-board control systems capable of handling harsh environments and variable conditions.
Here are the main programming languages used for these applications (without being limited to these):
C
Description : A low-level programming language, offering precise control of the hardware.
Use : Widely used in the development of embedded software, due to its performance and ability to manage limited resources.
C++
Description : An extension of the C language, offering object-oriented functionality.
Use : Used for complex embedded systems that require advanced data structures and high-level abstractions.
Python
Description : A high-level, interpreted language that is very popular for rapid prototyping.
Use : Used for rapid development, data processing and sometimes for control systems because of its simplicity and wealth of libraries.
Matlab/Simulink
Description : A programming environment for modelling, simulating and analysing dynamic systems.
Use : Used for modelling and developing embedded control systems, particularly for advanced control algorithms and signal processing.
CODESYS
Description : Integrated development environment (IDE) that supports IEC 61131-3 languages.
Use : Used in industrial automation and for embedded systems in off-road vehicles, offering flexibility and compatibility with numerous devices.
