Application
Ultimate flexibility in engineering
In times of scarce resources, innovative technologies are essential. At Neuron Automation, we pursue an entirely new engineering concept: We combine safe and non-safe applications as well as libraries from IEC languages and C/C++ in a seamless development environment. To enable the parallel programming of safety functions alongside applications, it integrates a pre-certified safety toolchain that supports the engineering of safety functions up to SIL 3 according to IEC 61508, PLE according to ISO 13849, and ASIL C according to ISO 26262. The combination with our runtime systems enables fast, flexible and efficient programming of functionally safe control applications.
Engineering Tools (Desktop & Browser-Based)
The centrepiece of our engineerconcept is an industry- and platform-independent multi-language development environment that has a a modular structure and can be expanded flexibly. It is available either as desktop software or as a browser-based solution. Application engineering is supported in all relevant IEC61131-3 standard languages (FBD, LD, SFC, ST), but also in C and C++ as well as other IT languages.
Runtimes (Flexible & highly scalable)
With our runtime system variants, we offer an easily integrable, flexible Soft-PLC. The solutions built on top of it range from simple applications on cost-effective microcontrollers to PLC networks processing millions of data points in real-time. Cloud-based and virtualized programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are also possible.
Fieldbus Configurators (IEC 61508 pre-certified)
Another element of our Neuron Toolkit is the fieldbus configurator. It serves as interface to common fieldbus protocols. In addition it serves a consistant look-and-feel across fieldbus standards.
Safe Parameter Editor (Standalone or integrated)
Our Safety Parameter Editor is a precertified Component to parameterize safety hardware devices. The editor supports all common formats of device descriptions. Parameter input can be done via web based interface. This interface can run standalone as PC application or integrated in customer specific engineering tools. After that the safety parameters got packed into a binary container that will be transferred to the device and can be read by an API to distribute the parameters.
