Debug and monitoring interface for complete PLC functionality

In addition to its real-time capability, ProConOS embedded CLR provides all functionalities that allow to use the embedded platform as PLC or even as Programmable Automation Controller (PAC).

ProConOS embedded CLR: PLC, Motion Control, HMI and more

This way, ProConOS embedded CLR builds up a common runtime system that allows to simultaneously use several automation applications (PLC, CNC, HMI) on one target system. The following functionalities can be realized:

• PLC, Motion Control, CNC, HMI.
• Multitasking.
• Support of different task types; this allows to trap external events and also system events.
• Provision of a manufacturer-independent device interface for debug, diagnostic and monitoring purposes.
• Defined state machine that provides maximum transparency and safety.
• Retain handling that allows to perform a warm start even after retain variables have been changed.
• System variables that allow direct access to the hardware and thus easily reading system information.

The mentioned debug interface allows (amongst others) 

• downloading (and uploading) the PLC application to (from) the target system, 
• starting (hot, warm and cold) and stopping the PLC, 
• displaying variable values in online mode, 
• forcing and overwriting of variables, 
• and finally OPC functionality (as well for C# variables).

With or without subordinate operating system: ProConOS embedded CLR provides all functionalities that are required for the realization of a complete PLC on the basis of an embedded platform.
