Logicon is Progea’s proposal in the field of SoftLogic, and is the result of close collaboration with the German KW-Software. Progea has chosen a market leader company for integrating its SoffPLC product in Movicon™11, with already thoroughly tested solutions with partners Phoenix Contact. This joint venture has enabled Movicon™11 to integrate the powerful MultiProg© programming environment, PLC program editor which supports all the five IEC 61131-3 standard languages. Programming is now possible in FBD, IL, Ladder, ST and SFC languages indifferently, with the option of mixed-programming.
By integrating the two programming environments and automatic tag synchronization, PC-based automation project creating has become much easier, safer and complete. SoftLogic projects can take full advantage of the benefits Movicon™11 has to offer, such as importing existing PLC databases (ie. Simatic S7, Rockwell, etc) or items from any OPC Server, and dispose Tag lists automatically to the two Scada and SofLogic environments. The two integrated systems are shared and connected automatically to the SoftPLC ProConOs runtime for direct and efficient communication performances.
The SoftPLC runtime, available both for Windows™ XP and Windows™CE, is executed within Windows™ “realtime kernel” to guarantee realtime performances and independency from the OS. The ProConOs runtime communicates with the field I/O directly using Modbus TCP, Profi bus, ProfiNet, Interbus, CanBus, DeviceNet. All the potentialities of the modern and reliable SoftLogic product have been integrated to guarantee powerful developer tool usability, such as the Cross Reference, Logic Analyzer, Debugging Step-to-Step, On-Line Modifying, Simulator, distributed project designing in net, Wizards, Documentation and Archive Storage.
