Montreal, Canada – December 1, 2006 – ICS Triplex has released a beta version of ISaGRAF 5.3. ISaGRAF 5.3 provides a unified development environment for the ISaGRAF installed base. Users will now have the ability to program and support the entire range of ISaGRAF controllers (controllers from ISaGRAF versions 3, 4 & 5) using the same development environment.
Now, an ISaGRAF 3 application can be created, compiled, debugged, simulated, downloaded and monitored. No modification to the ISaGRAF 3.x controller is required. ISaGRAF 5.3 also includes the new µFirmware Development Toolkit to address the microcontroller market.
As with previous ISaGRAF 5 versions, ISaGRAF 5.3 incorporates both the IEC 61131-3 and IEC 61499 standards. Users can build traditional control systems where the interactions between devices will automatically be regulated and synchronized by the IEC 61499 function block diagrams rather than through the use of manually implemented algorithms. The ISaGRAF 5.3 beta version will be initially offered to a limited set of ICS Triplex ISaGRAF partners.
Those organizations wishing to take part in the beta testing are invited to contact our applications and support team via email at [email protected].
