December 1, 2008 – Itris Automation Square announced that its PLC Checker for automatic coding rules verification now supports PLC programs written with the RSLogix development environment offered by Rockwell Automation. PLC Checker improves the readability, the maintainability and the robustness of PLC programs thanks to its unique capacity to automatically verify the compliance with coding rules, naming and structure conventions and programming standards. It replaces human proofreading of the programs, which takes a very long time and thus allows industrial users of PLCs to adopt systematically coding standards and guarantee the consistency of their programs. PLC Checker is typically used in contractual relationships, in which it is a key factor to determine quality goals.
By using PLC Checker, contractors demonstrate the quality of their programs with the most innovative solution on the market. Industrial users of PLCs benefit from programs that are easier to read and to maintain and can use PLC Checker results as a formal, repeatable and exhaustive acceptance criteria.PLC Checker is offered under a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model with a pay-per-use payment scheme. It is thus easy to use it on projects and there is no capital expenditure or maintenance required.
