Contol plus Objects

The central development tool Control plus Studio enables you, as a machine builder, to build your machine projects — regardless of the controller manufacturer. You can integrate and parameterize your device objects using drag and drop, configure a process-specific machine visualization, define information services and diagnostic functions, and generate your code. By means of central, one-time data entry for control, visualization and data management, development times can be reduced by up to 50 percent. In addition to the Control plus Studio development tool, the base system offers a wide range of self-contained, tested and reusable objects. Well over 1000 device objects are already mapped in the object library. These objects are managed in the library, regularly extended by updates and kept up to date.

We have already reproduced well over 400 machine components in our object library. These objects are managed in our library, regularly expanded with updates and kept up-to-date. If required, programmers can easily add the objects they have created themselves. They can use their usual development environment to do this and then import the individually programmed objects. Regardless of their source, all objects can be integrated into the project using drag & drop and linked directly into sequence chains (SFC). In this way, projects with precisely the right objects can be implemented quickly and easily.

ECAE (Toolbox)

With the ECAE module, Nexeed Automation offers a sample circuit diagram on the basis of which circuit diagrams can be efficiently created in EPLAN. In addition to the sample circuit diagram, we also offer the appropriate macro library for the software object library, which can be used to effortlessly assemble the circuit diagram for Control plus projects. The interface to Control plus makes it possible to easily export configured devices to Control plus Studio. The file created contains basic information such as, for example, the bus structure, configured devices as well as interface texts in several languages, which are available ad hoc in the software programming. Thanks to standardized sample circuit diagrams, ready-made macros and an efficient tool chain, effort and errors along the value chain can be significantly reduced.
