Code Standardization

NexaCode - standardized PLC software with code generation for Siemens, Rockwell and CODESYS

NexaCode standardizes your PLC software with clear software structures, reusable templates, and automated code generation. Recurring basic functions are systematically created, allowing you to achieve a runnable basis faster, reduce errors, and ensure the long-term maintainability of your PLC programs. The solution is vendor-independent and can be used for Siemens, Rockwell/Allen-Bradley, and CODESYS.

Standardization

NexaCode – Standardization & Software Structure

With NexaCode, you create a standardized PLC software basis for machines and systems. Naming conventions, module structures, interfaces, and basic functions are standardized so that projects can start faster, remain cleanly documented, and be consistently implemented even with multiple stakeholders.

Based on a standardized project structure, it is shown how PLC programs are uniformly built with clear folders, blocks, interfaces, and naming conventions.

Recurring basic functions such as I/O processing, messages, manual mode, and diagnostics are prepared in a consistent structure and made reusable across projects.

Through a clean naming and structural concept, signals, assemblies, and software modules remain clear and easily comprehensible for all involved parties, even in larger systems.

Standardization & Software Structure - Your Benefits

Standardize PLC projects from the start

A standardized software structure creates clarity from the outset and reduces the scope for interpretation between programming, design, and commissioning.
Fewer errors through clear standards

Uniform naming conventions, interfaces, and modular principles prevent typical structural errors and increase software quality across multiple projects.
Faster start to new projects

Existing standards and templates shorten project setup and more quickly create a reliable basis for further PLC development.
Better secure collaboration

Internal teams, external service providers and end customers work on a comprehensible structure, which makes coordination easier and changes cleaner to implement.
Simplify documentation from the start

A clearly defined software architecture improves traceability and facilitates later extensions, service deployments, and handovers.

Code Generation

NexaCode – Automated Code Generation

With automated code generation, NexaCode creates recurring software components efficiently and reproducibly. Based on defined components, standards, and rules, robust basic functionalities are developed in a short time, reducing manual routine work while ensuring a clean, uniform codebase.

Recurring PLC functions are automatically generated from a defined component or signal list and transferred directly into the appropriate project structure.

Code generation creates standardized basic functions for typical machine modules, which significantly reduces manual routine work.

Adjustments to templates and standards can be maintained centrally, allowing subsequent projects to be updated faster and implemented with consistent quality.

Automated Code Generation - Your Benefits

Achieve a functional base faster

Recurring basic functions are created automatically, which reduces engineering times and allows projects to move into a testable phase sooner.
Reduce routine effort specifically

Manual standard tasks are minimized, allowing PLC programmers to focus more on process-specific functions and value-adding tasks.
Ensuring Reproducible Software Quality

Automatically generated code follows fixed rules, thus ensuring consistent results across different projects, teams, and manufacturers.
Efficiently rolling out changes

If standards or templates are adapted, these changes can be transferred much more easily to new projects and variants.
Systematically increase reuse

A generator-supported approach promotes the reuse rate in PLC development and makes successful structures permanently usable.

Process logic

NexaCode – Flexible Implementation of Process Logic

NexaCode combines standardization with targeted flexibility for individual machine processes. While recurring basic functions are automated and prepared, sequential control, special functions, and process-specific logic remain flexibly implementable. This means it's not rigid standard software, but rather a scalable foundation for tailor-made system functionalities.

Standardized basic functions and individual process logic interlink seamlessly, so that project‑specific workflows can be built upon a stable software foundation.

Step sequences, interlocks, and special functions intentionally remain flexible, while recurring function blocks are already prepared in a structured manner.

In conjunction with simulation or digital twin technology, processes, error cases, and interfaces can be tested early on, even before the real plant goes into operation.

Flexible implementation of process logic - Your benefits

Leverage Standardization without Rigidity

You benefit from clear standards without forcing individual process requirements into an unsuitable corset.
Targeted mapping of process logic

Special processes, customer-specific functions, and plant-specific features can be seamlessly integrated into the standardized basis.
Better prepare early tests

The clear separation of basic functions and individual logic makes tests, reviews, and approvals more structured and efficient.
Implementing more robust interfaces

A consistent software basis facilitates coupling with HMIs, simulations, digital twins, and other systems within the project environment.
Reduce On-Site Risks

The more thoroughly the logic and basic functions are prepared, the fewer coordination loops and troubleshooting efforts will be required during commissioning.

Scalability

NexaCode – Maintainable and scalable PLC software

NexaCode is designed for long-term maintainability and scalable PLC engineering. Clear module structures, reusable standards, and a traceable software architecture facilitate extensions, variant creation, and subsequent service deployments. This ensures the software remains manageable not only today but also in future projects.

Standardized modules and a clear software architecture enable the structured integration of expansions, variants, and retrofits into existing projects.

Even with larger systems or multiple machine types, the PLC software remains maintainable because the structure, naming, and functional principles remain consistent.

The standardized basis supports a better handover to service, maintenance and follow‑up projects, as software structures can be understood and adapted more quickly.

Maintainable and scalable PLC software - Your benefits

Ensuring long-term maintainability

Clear software structures and consistent modules facilitate troubleshooting, service, and future expansions during ongoing plant operation.
Implement follow-up projects faster

Proven standards can be transferred to new machines, variants, and customer projects without starting from scratch every time.
Enabling scaling across multiple plants

A clean PLC standard forms the basis for efficiently developing solutions across lines, plants, or machine types.
Reduce reliance on individual knowledge

When software is built consistently, new team members and external partners can contribute productively more quickly.
Creating a Foundation for Digital Validation

A consistent PLC software basis can be more effectively linked with virtual commissioning and NexaTwin to make tests and commissioning more predictable.
