Industry standard – from 31 March 2026 only CODESYS® programming in MT controllers

As of 31 March 2026, the MT series telemetry controller offering will include only CODESYS® programmable devices (MT-121, MT-221, MT-151 HMI/LED, MT-156 HMI). This is a strategic step, in line with the company’s long-term vision, to simplify implementation processes and respond to growing market needs. At the same time, Users will be covered by a transition period and support, enabling a smooth migration without loss of business continuity. 

CODESYS® – a flexible approach to automation

What is changing - and what is not?

  • legacy controllers operating with 4G technology remain fully functional – there is no need to replace them in existing installations, 
  • we provide firmware updates, for min. 3 years from the announcement of a product recall, which will be related to improvements in security, stability and reliability, performance optimisation and adaptation to new standards and regulatory requirements, 
  • the CODESYS® licence fee is not charged separately – it is included in the price of the equipment, 
  • device configuration (communication, port configuration and I/O resources) remains implemented by MTManager – as before. 

Discover the features of CODESYS® software

Cross-platform compatibility 
CODESYS® supports multiple PLC hardware platforms, ensuring portability and code reusability. 

Efficient development environment 
CODESYS® offers an intuitive Integrated Development Environment (IDE), supporting real-time debugging and simulation, which reduces development time and errors. 

Security and reliability 
CODESYS® meets strict security standards, guaranteeing the stability and protection of applications. 

Ease of learning and use
CODESYS® features an intuitive user interface and rich online documentation, allowing engineers to get started quickly and increase productivity. 

High scalability
CODESYS® supports third-party libraries and plug-ins, allowing engineers to easily customise and extend the system. 

International standard
Easy programming with CODESYS® software, compliant with IEC 61131-3. 

Which Inventia devices support CODESYS®?

Inventia has introduced CODESYS® programming on the following models: 

  1. MT-121 – a worthy successor to the MT-101 which has been in operation for 3 decades, retained chassis size but greater performance and capabilities 
  1. MT-221 – communication gateway, successor of the MT-202 model 
  1. MT-151 HMI (CODESYS®) – richer I/O resources than MT-121, additionally equipped with a local text HMI display 
  1. MT-151 LED (CODESYS®) – less expensive alternative to MT-151 HMI (CODESYS®) 
  1. MT-156 HMI (CODESYS®) – solution with M-Bus interface and PT1000 channels 

The indicated devices in the new version together form a group of Compact Modules with CODESYS® support.

CODESYS® and MT controllers – Frequently asked questions and answers

Will the existing programmable controllers in the standard environment provided by Inventia stop working?

No. They will continue to be fully functional.

Will the firmware be updated?

Yes – for 3 years from the announcement of the withdrawal, we will provide updates related to safety, stability and reliability, performance optimisation and adaptation to new standards and regulatory requirements.

Do I have to pay separately for CODESYS®?

No. The licence fee is already included in the price of the device.

I am not familiar with CODESYS®. What to do?

Feel free to contact us – we offer training and technical support tailored to your needs.

Can I upgrade my device to CODESYS® via a software update?

This is not possible 

Can I test CODESYS® before purchasing a controller?

Yesthe software is available to download free of charge together with the necessary device description files on bok.inventia.pl/en, after logging in. With these, you can build and test the PLC program without a physical controller.
