Innovative and fully integrated automation solutions can be created cost-effectively using the IEC 61131 MULTIPROG® programming system and the IEC 61131 ProConOS® PLC operating system.
ProVisIT is a cost-effective alternative to large SCADA packages for visualization projects. You develop the PLC program on your Desktop PC and design the visualization project. Both components are linked to the programming via TCP/IP and ActiveSync.
MULTIPROG is a simple editor for the real-time enabled ProConOS® SoftPLC. In addition to its reliability and flexibility, the numerous high-performance functions and intuitive operator interface, MULTIPROG® boasts a number of special features that distinguish it from other programming systems. MULTIPROG supports all IEC programming languages (as per the IEC 61131-3 definition). You can choose from the five standardized programming languages FBD, LD, IL, ST and SFC, or mix the graphical languages - depending on the project requirements or your previous programming experience (e.g., programmers with experience in high-level languages come to grips with ST fast, experienced PLC programmers possibly prefer LD). A toolkit is available for customizing it to customer-specific runtime systems for controllers. Online changes are possible irrespective of the size of the application program. MULTIPROG is multilingual, both in terms of the operator interface and the project language. The user interface is available in the following languages: German, English, French, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese. MULTIPROG supports distributed systems with several controllers within one project. Assistants, cross-references and many other such efficient features guarantee easy and effective programming.
ProVisIT offers a cost-effective alternative to large SCADA packages and to your own programming in Visual Basic.
Integration into existing projects is fast through the OPC interface: ProVisIT can communicate, as an OPC client, with all controllers and devices, which have an OPC server. Visualization objects are intuitively created in the graphical editor. A wide range of standard objects can be assigned a large number of dynamic properties by a simple click of the mouse. Basic applications are created in a matter of minutes with the help of these standard objects.
Visual Basic script and ActiveX Controls are provided to allow users to integrate ProVisIT into a Windows environment and put their own application knowledge to use. ProVisIT thus enables visualization of the most complex applications. An extremely open and flexible tool has been created for the most diverse visualization tasks thanks to the use of open standards, such as OPC, and Microsoft technology, such as ActiveX, Automation Interface, HTML and Visual Basic script.
ProVisIT Runtime is available for the various performance and cost groups of the IPCs and operating panels, based on Microsoft operating systems commonly used in automation, e.g. Windows NT, 2000, XP or Windows CE.
