CPDev Engineering Environment for Modeling, Implementation, Testing, and Visualization of Control Software

  • Conference paper
Recent Advances in Automation, Robotics and Measuring Techniques

Abstract

The paper presents the CPDev engineering environment, which is a comprehensive set of integrated tools for programming PLCs, PACs, and DCSs, according to the IEC 61131-3 standard. The environment supports various parts of the project development, including modeling (using SysML diagrams), implementation (with IEC 61131-3 textual, graphical, and mixed languages), testing (by textual, table, and performance tests), simulation (in off-line mode), debugging (with tracing variable values and breakpoints), hardware resources configuration, execution (either on the virtual machine or FPGA-based hardware machine), as well as visualization. The CPDev project is designed in a way supporting portability. Therefore, prepared control programs can be run on any supported target platform, such as AVR, ARM, and x86. The environment has a few applications, both industrial and laboratory.
