Hello,
As everyone is aware AI is becoming more and more popular in engineering workflow. I myself have been testing few LLMs like Antigravity CLI and Claude Code with open-sourced MCP-server linked below (not official Codesys one, but the official should work as well) to achieve fully agentic workflow. If anyone will be intrested i can provide a short how-to.
From what I’ve tested it is right now possible to almost entirely code in VSCode/Cursor (your eyes will thank you), as the MCP server is running Python scripts which allow for project creation, getting pous code, setting pous code, even compiling.
By not using Codesys to create POUs saved as files we are able to use standalone Git, not the one included in Codesys licence. Which is main advantage as big multiuser project always have been a problem in engineering community.
The main problem that i see right now is that there is no official guideline for agents. Guideline which would tell the AI to use WAGO libraries, give the documentation for WAGO libraries, make sure that everything should be written according to IEC 61131-3 etc.
Guideline like this would allow clients that use WAGO Controllers to be up to date with currect trends, especially that the Codesys V4 is around the corner, and as far as we know Codesys V4 will be file based, like all other top of the line IDE and then guideline like this will be even more helpful to allow less experienced programmers to use AI agents.
Can we create community driven project to achieve this? Or is it expected that WAGO PLC Agent will keep up with other models and trends in current technology race?
