ProConOS® - Programmable Controller Operating System

ProConOS® is the real-time and multitasking-capable, IEC-compliant and very fast PLC runtime system. It is designed in such a way that it can be adapted to almost any hardware.

The fact that ProConOS® can be combined easily with already existing runtime programs and firmware packages enables PLC manufacturers to offer IEC 61131-compliant systems and keep their own features and capabilities to their full extent at the same time.

   
 

Complete PLC functionality

ProConOS® enables loading and execution of PLC programs and supplies powerful debug functionalities for programming, commissioning and maintenance of PLC-controlled machines and plants.

High speed

ProConOS® executes native machine code, which enables a very high performance.

 
   
 

ProConOS® embedded and ProConOS® Windows SoftPLC

ProConOS® is available in different versions. With the installation of ProConOS®, a standard hardware platform as well as a specific embedded hardware platform becomes a powerful PLC.

ProConOS® embedded, the real-time-capable solution for embedded systems. ProConOS® embedded was adapted to a number of combinations of CPUs and real-time operating systems by KW-Software.

ProConOS® SoftPLC: If an industrial PC is available under Windows for operation and monitoring services, this can take over complete PLC functionality thanks to ProConOS®. SoftPLCs include:

  • ProConOS® Win RT, the software PLC with hard real-time for industrial PCs under Windows 2000/NT/XP
  • ProConOS® Win RT MC, version of the real-time SoftPLC under Windows 2000/NT/XP extended by motion functionality
  • ProConOS® Win CE, the real-time-capable software PLC for Windows® CE systems

ProConOS® for Linux as SoftPLC and embedded variant for several platforms.

Clear advantages through a clear interface structure

The modular structure of the software provides system developers with numerous interfaces for realization of manufacturer-specific unique features. This enables ProConOS® to be integrated fast and easily into available systems like for example CNC, robot systems or motion control functions.
  These interfaces are:
  • I/O interface
  • Firmware interface
  • Configuration interface
  • Multitasking interface
  • File device driver interface
  • Communication interface
  • System interface

Standards as base, specialization by KW-Software

ProConOS® is normally based on a real-time multitasking kernel that provides the necessary functions from the side of the operating system which ProConOS® itself uses for internal purposes and by which multitasking is possible for the PLC application.

In the ProConOS® Windows kernel mode driver, this task is taken over by the KWRTK (KW Realtime-Kernel). This kernel real-time extension by KW-Software makes sure that no additional costs are incurred by the use of additional third-party software.

And the available ready-to-use drivers for fieldbus cards by Hilscher significantly decrease the effort required for the bus connection.
