Working with AADvance Applications

The

AADvance-Trusted SIS Workstation software®

is the development environment for the AADvance controller enabling the creation of one comprehensive project to control individual AADvance controllers. The

AADvance-Trusted SIS Workstation software

enables the creation of AADvance applications supporting multi-process control. Applications consist of virtual machines running on hardware components. The development process consists of creating a project made up of controllers, representing individual hardware, which are downloaded to the physical controllers. At runtime, the virtual machines run on this hardware equipment.

Develop projects with these programming languages from the IEC 61131-3 standard: Functional Block Diagram (FBD), Ladder Diagram (LD), Structured Text (ST), and Sequential Function Chart (SFC). Other than SFC, all produced code is validated for use in safety applications.

AADvance-Trusted SIS Workstation software

does not validate SFC code. When building, controllers are compiled to produce very fast "target independent code" (TIC).

Declare variables using standard IEC 61131-3 data types (Boolean, integer, real, etc.) or user-defined types such as arrays or structures.

Develop projects on a Windows development platform. The

AADvance-Trusted SIS Workstation software

graphically represents and organizes controllers, program organization units (POUs), and networks within a project from many views.

Libraries enable defining functions, function blocks, and data types for reuse throughout projects.

The

AADvance-Trusted SIS Workstation software

downloads individual controllers onto hardware equipment with SNCP networks.

Simulate the running of a project, after building a project, with high-level debugging tools, before actually downloading controllers to hardware equipment. Then connect the

AADvance-Trusted SIS Workstation software

to monitor real-time information and perform updates. A standard Ethernet network connects the

AADvance-Trusted SIS Workstation software

to controllers and controllers to other controllers.
