A Windows-based program is software that is designed to work on a SCADA computer, HMI target or PLC running the Microsoft Windows operating system. These programs are designed to be installed and run locally on the Windows targets, and are usually compatible with multiple versions of Windows.
WHY DO WE OFFER WINDOWS PROGRAMMING?
There are situations where the PLC reaches its limit, like communicating to a protocol which does not follow any industrial standard [e.g. Microsoft Inter-Process Connectivity (IPC)]. Our Windows programming software engineering achieves to extend PLC capabilities by using high level languages like C#.
Also, there are machine manufacturer developers which implements the own HMI interface. We can help with this kind of applications.
Languages we have used in real projects:
The following section shows our experience with high level languages to expand the PLC capabilities or to help with HMI development. We are not limited only to our past experience and we welcome to use different languages should be required by the project specifications:
- C#
- Visual C++
- Visual Studio
