Future Proof Your Bottom Line - Deploy your next automation project via drag-and-drop
1968: Modular Digital Control
In the 60s Richard E. Morley identified a strong need for more flexibility in industrial production. The constraints of available calculation power, memory, and signal conditioning lead him to a smart idea: execute rungs in a cyclic loop. He invented the first programmable logic controller and founded the Modicon company
Automation today is not a business as usual- The next quantum leap in industrial automation
2020: Software-centric automation
After 50 years, it is not hardware but software that is driving automation to the next level. Software-driven digital transformation is fueled by increased computational power and connectivity. Addressing our customers' imperatives requires unprecedented flexibility, interoperability, and efficiency from industrial operations. The IEC 61499 standard with its event-driven, object-oriented, distributed approach is extending/enhancing the IEC 61131 standard, allowing automation systems to take advantage of IT technologies.
Asset Orientated Engineering- Next Generation Engineering Platform
Single tool to configure, program and deploy applications to multiple control and HMI devices. Control, HMI, documentation, etc. encapsulated into asset models to manage complexity and support reusability & fast refactoring
Single Line Engineering- Simplified Engineering Process
Aggregations of event and data connections between function blocks result in one single line connection back & forward. Complexity managed through smart engineering results in dramatically reduced time and effort with fewer mistakes, and higher quality.
What is the standard used for automation experts?
Universal Automation, a reality adopted by industry leaders
Manufacturers of industrial solutions
Machine manufacturers, OEM
Integrators, Installers,
End customers.
