Packages

ControlBuild.Design

module dedicated to the functional specifications design and validation. A successful automation project strongly depends on the quality and clear understanding by all stakeholders of the functional specifications.

ControlBuild.Validation

powerful simulator and process emulator for rapid testing and validation of an automated system prior to its start-up. Its use during the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) stage is recognized as a Best Practice to reduces commissioning risks & production downtime cost by 50%.

ControlBuild.Application Genrator

comprehensive platform for developing and distributing IEC 61131-3 applications on different types of PLCs architectures (Schneider, Siemens, Rockwell ...)

ControlBuild.Embedded

comprehensive platform for developing and deploying IEC 61131-3 embedded applications for on-board CPUs with real-time operating system (RTOS) such as QNX, RTLinux, VxWorks ...

ControlBuild-Monitor

allows you to visualize the application data values and the IEC 61131-3 source code of a ControlBuild binary application running into a Real Time target.

ControlBuild-Engine

with its large library of communication modules (I/O, serial link, field bus, TCPIP or OPC…), ControlBuild-Engine can easily turn a PC into a controller, supervisor or test bench for an application.
