nxtControls automation software is a clever mix of different technologies that work flawlessly together. For users, it is one single engineering-software, which they use to develop and manage projects.
Control logic of a distributed system, visualisation HMI / SCADA, I/O connection, simulation, test and documentation are all tasks performed by one and the same engineering tool.
It’s time for more intelligence
Control technology still used these days is older than 15 years and outdated. Future topics such as Smart Grid, Industry 4.0, Internet-of-Things, energy efficiency relay mainly on distributed intelligence. Most industrial applications are distributed systems or would offer significant advantages when modelled as distributed systems.
The appropriate control technology is the IEC 61499 for distributed control systems. Die IEC 61499 is the successor of the IEC 61131 and it eliminates their short comings in distributing control logic in a decentralised system. The programming languages are the same for both standards.
It’s time for more efficiency
Efficiency is the order of the day not only in energy consumption but also in engineering. The solution is an engineering tool that seamlessly integrates all automation tasks.
Distribution increases the complexity of control systems. We combine modern technologies to create innovative automation software for the most efficient engineering of distributed systems, irrespective of the purpose - building automation, automation of machines and manufacturing lines or process automation.
We are worldwide technology leaders in the IEC61499 standard for distributed control systems.
