OpenPCS Automation Suite 2008

Programming System IEC 61131-3

OpenPCS is the only IEC 61131-3 workbench certified for Portability Level. This documents its outstanding quality and performance. With our products we serve the international controller manufacturer who is looking for a complementary software package for its embedded controller. The combination of our customer’s hardware with infoteam OpenPCS gives a genuine IEC 61131-3 compliant controller.

IEC 61131-3 Compliance

The international standard IEC61131 gives vendors a large

IL Instruction List

The programming language IL is close to a machine code, and therefore an efficient language onto which the graphical languages are mapped. IL is a textual, line oriented language. You will enter your program in two stages. First declare all variables you are going to use. Then enter the instructions of your program into Instruction List.

ST Structured Text

The programming language Structured Text (ST) is a high level programming language with a syntax similar to PASCAL. It is ideally suited to solve computer-intensive PLC-tasks. Besides the traditional means of PLC

degree of freedom of which features to implement and which not. The scope of IEC1131 covered is documented in the Compliance Statement. The high degree of IEC61131-compliance of OpenPCS is proved by several certifications that different versions of OpenPCS have achieved, to Base Level as well as Portability Level.

programming ST provides powerful control and data structures to solve even complex problems in the field of algorithmic data processing or process optimisation. Because the ST language editor optimises your application engineering process by using ST for all your “high sophisticated” application functions that then can be reused in any other languages as function block “black boxes”.
