Interfaces and Methods are two modern programming concepts which provide essential functionality for Object Oriented Industrial Programming (OOIP). Part 1 of this series introduced OOIP and showed how a control design is built by assembling self-contained objects in much the way the actual plant is assembled from self-contained objects as shown in Figure 1.

Optimierung bei der Firma Packsize: Wie eine neue Anbindung der Maschinen hilft, bereits ökologische Verpackungen noch nachhaltiger zu verpacken.

Die Fliegl-Gruppe mit Sitz im oberbayerischen Mühldorf versorgt seit mehr als vier Jahrzehnten Landwirte mit solchen Maschinen: Neben Anhängern für Transportwesen und Bauindustrie bietet das weltweit operierende Unternehmen zahlreiche landwirtschaftliche Hightech-Anhängesysteme für Transport und Ausbringung von Gülle sowie Schütt- und Streugütern.

With many programmable logic controller (PLC) programming languages and standards from which to choose, select the best language for specific automation and controls applications. Part 2 focuses on function block diagram (FBD), continuous function chart (CFC) and structured text (ST).

With so many programmable logic controller (PLC) programming languages and standards from which to choose, what is the right choice for automation and controls applications? Part 1 provides an overview and focuses on Ladder Diagram (LD) and Sequential Function Chart (SFC).

Whether special machine, automated industrial building, mobile equipment or logistics system: updates of the control application for the improvement of processes, performance or functions affect all automation systems. As the following example shows, these updates can be significantly accelerated through cloud-based controller administration.

Your plant or equipment is assembled from objects – your control should be, too. New tools deliver the productivity of OOP without the complexity. New Object Oriented Industrial Programming (OOIP) techniques deliver the productivity gains of Object Oriented Programming (OOP) while maintaining the ease-of-use and reliability required for industrial controls applications.

Your plant or machine is assembled from objects – your control should be, too. New tools deliver the productivity of OOP without the complexity. Industrial controls software engineering has unique requirements for high reliability and for ease of use by a broad spectrum of users. Those are the reasons why graphical languages have been the mainstay of industrial controls programing and industrial controls engineers tend to wait for the latest trends in computer science mature before adoption (such as symbolic addressing and data structures which both matured for 20 years before entering the industrial controls mainstream).

Mit der integrierten Engineering-Software steht eine All-in-One-Plattform zur Auswahl von Geräten, zur Programmierung und Einrichtung von SPSen, HMIs, Antrieben und weiteren Systemen von Delta Electronics zur Verfügung.

In der Software-Entwicklung zur Erstellung von PC-Software oder Handy-Apps ist der Begriff bekannt: „Code smells“. Programmcode kann also „stinken“, und zwar dann, wenn er eine Fehlergefahr in sich birgt.
