SIXNET introduces a seamless migration path for the tens of thousands of installed ISaGRAF applications to upgrade to the newest generation of 32-bit look and feel ISaGRAF applications development tools. Fully optimized for Windows XP and beyond, these tools form the seamless path to the emerging 64-bit Vista operating systems of the future. Now existing and new users can take advantage of the latest applications development technology while maintaining their existing applications with a single easy-to-use tools suite.
Working in close cooperation with ICS-Triplex, this SIXNET exclusive forms the seamless bridge between ISAGRAF v3 and ISaGRAF v5, ensuring the future of the large installed base of the world's most popular IEC 61131-3 applications.SIXNET has integrated the ISaGRAF Workbench directly into the Windows-based Tool Kit applications development suite. For example, tag definitions flow automatically from every I/O module, up into the controller and appear immediately in the Workbench with no need for import or further configuration. SIXNET integrators have reported time savings of greater than 30%.
(That's a weeks work done by mid day on Thursday.) SIXNET demonstrates their commitment to upward compatible open systems with several offers to help insure the rapid deployment of this ground-breaking technology into the automation industry. First, the ISaGRAF-RTU runtime is provided free in all IPm RTUs and process controllers. Second, This latest generation of runtime will run in ALL installed IPm RTUs and process controllers and may be installed for free under SIXNET's unique protected technology policy. To further ensure access to the latest technology to all developers, SIXNET will provide an ISaGRAF Open Workbench key to any existing SIXNET ISaGRAF keyholder with a 50% credit regardless of the age of the license.
Further, SIXNET encourages existing users to keep their existing Workbench keys so they may convert existing applications on their own time frame and with no risk. SIXNET ISaGRAF Open supports all five IEC 61131-3 programming languages including Sequential Function Chart, Flow Chart, Structured Text, Ladder Diagram, Function Block and Instruction Lists. SIXNET provides an enhanced suite of function libraries to process control and RTU applications. Continue to develop systems with the familiar tools you are using to program PLCs and process controllers, this leading-edge software comprised of a powerful set of new features will change the way you build your control systems. SIXNET was the first Automation vendor to offer ISaGRAF as a standard feature as far back as 1995.
Today the first ISaGRAF application can run in the latest ISAGRAF Open products insuring a seamless path to the future. SIXNET is the only Automation vendor to deliver 20 year or more of seamless support for industrial automation systems.
