CODESYS UML Article no. 2101000001
The UML (Unified Modeling Language) is a graphical language for specification, design and documentation of object oriented software. UML provides a generally intelligible discussion basis between programming and other company divisions within system development.

UML consists of 14 different diagram types in two main categories: structure diagrams and behavior diagrams. Structure diagrams schematically illustrate the architecture of software and are basically meant for modeling and analysis (e.g. project design, specification of system requirements or documentation). Behavior diagrams are executable models with distinct syntax and semantics, which directly generate application code („model driven architecture“).

CODESYS UML extends the CODESYS Development System with two new diagrams of the Unified Modeling Language: the class diagram and the state diagram, for the 32 Bit and 64 Bit version of the CODESYS Development System in one package.
