COPALP enhances STRATON Workbench software
To reduce the cost of solutions, applications for industrial control need to be built within a short time. This can be achieved by reducing the time of programming and configuration of the industrial control project.

To reach this goal, COPALP enhanced the STRATON® product with the project automation tool. This feature allows a user to create and modify a project with standard development tools. You can automate the import/export of information from a database (XML, MS Excel, SQL) or other tools directly into the STRATON application.

Typical information can be variable definition and I/O configurations but also programs generated automatically or copied from template.

Project Automation is a new powerful tool to easily generate or modify application for industrial control.

It offers a complete set of interfaces in order to:
  • Create new wizards to build the skeleton for a new project
  • Create wizards that automate or import the I/O configuration
  • Automatically generate documentation about project items
  • Import or export procedures

    STRATON Workbench Integration
    The automation project can be developed using IEC61131-3 languages directly from the STRATON Workbench without the need for an external tool.

    This provides a very easy way to develop your automation project without the need to learn a new language and without the installation of an external tool.

  • Your script is intended to build the skeleton of a new project; you can register it so that STRATON proposes it in its standard procedure to create new projects.
  • Registering the script in STRATON as a tool: Your script is intended to modify an open project, you can register it so that STRATON proposes it from the command menu and toolbar.
  • Running a script from other applications: Scripts developed with STRATON can be run from external applications:
    --From the command line: Scripts can be executed directly from the Windows console or from .BAT files.
    --From C / C++ applications: C/C++ applications can run the automation project directly by calling the dedicated interface

    PROJECT AUTOMATION and COM Interface
    Several standard or proprietary tools are available on the market to generate or configurate industrial applications for process control.

    In order to integrate the automation project in these development tool chains, the automation library is delivered as a COM component.

    Typical tools :
  • Visual Basic
  • zenOn with the integrated Visual Basic runtime
  • Microsoft Excel
  • C#
