Embedded Tools
Simplify the configuration
Hardware Device and Fieldbus Configuration Tools
The straton® Integrated Development Environment includes a hardware device
and Fieldbus configuration tool for various kinds of networked I/Os and protocols.
The configuration tool enables you to describe networks as configuration trees
and to wire variables to the I/O channels of hardware devices.
The configuration tool can be linked to a graphical wizard including a view of the
hardware device and its physical I/O and communications port arrangement.

Reduce engineering time


Project Automation
To reduce project costs, applications for industrial control need to be built
within the shortest possible time. This can be achieved by reducing the time for
application programming and configuration.
The straton® project automation tool allows you to automate the import/export
of information from your databases or other tools directly into the application.
Typical information can be variable definitions and I/O configurations but also
application programs generated automatically or copied from existing templates.

Easy to use International Standard programming


languages
IEC61131-3 / SOFT PLC
The straton® integrated development environment is a set of powerful text and
graphic editors for IEC 61131-3 languages: Sequential Function Chart (SFC),
Function Block Diagram (FBD), Ladder Diagram (LD), Structured Text) ST and
Instruction List (IL)
- Fast: The features of straton® allow faster development and better
optimization of your applications.
- Open: The straton® data server is open for optimal management of I/O
components, applications generator and wizard.
- Framework: straton® is easy to integrate on any kind of Integrated
Development Environment.
- Customizable: It is easy to customize straton® to fit with specific
requirements of any kind of Integrated Development Environment.
- Compatible HMI/SCADA: straton® is integrated as a standard HMI/
SCADA component into zenon®.
Secure applications
Redundant System
The architecture of straton® is designed to allow hot restart and redundancy.
This architecture allows you to manage your own mechanism for redundancy. All
key application information is stored in one unique block of memory and all the
redundancy mechanisms are available to make a hot restart of the application.
A standard redundant implementation through Ethernet is delivered with straton®
plc engine, using a proprietary protocol over the link that needs no specific
programming or configuration.

Commissioning / debugging
Online debugging
straton® provides built-in simulation within the development environment in
various modes of operation such as cycle by cycle, step by step, breakpoint and
console mode.
It is possible to start and stop individual program elements and debug instances
of function blocks as well as monitor the contents of the application stack.
Using recipes it is possible to configure specific test sets which can be used to
drive application testing in a structured and fully repeatable manner.

Softscope
An integrated scope using a real time high speed protocol can be configured to
monitor key variables within the application to provide detailed debug infor-
mation with high precision.

Distributed Application
Binding
The straton® PLC engine permits real-time exchanging of data among different
runtime systems through Ethernet. The event based protocol technology used
ensures high performance and very low network traffic at runtime.

Communication
straton® supports a wide range of industry standard protocols for various sectors
and application areas including automotive, building automation and energy:

Industries
- CAN/CANopen
- MODBUS/Open MODBUS
- PROFIBUS/PROFINET
- ASI

Energy
- IEC60870-101
- IEC60870-104
- DNP3
- IEC61850

Building Automation
- BACNET
- MODBUS/Open MODBUS
