AVAILABLE VERSIONS
The FACTORY41 GENERATOR web application lends itself to different ways of implementation and use to best meet your specific needs, whether you are:
​
-
An OEM
-
An Integrator
​
In addition to the standard version, suitable for generic process control applications, it is possible to implement dedicated versions with different levels of customization .
STANDARD
Standard version for generic process control applications . The standard version of the generator is based on a software library (of PLC functions and SCADA graphic objects) suitable for generic process control applications.
EXTENDED
Development of extended versions for OEMs and integrators. The standard version of the generator can be extended with specific high-level functions of a plant or machinery to further improve the quality and efficiency of the OEM production cycle and of the integrator development cycle.
CUSTOMIZED
Development of customized versions for OEMs and integrators. The generator can be customized to work with existing software architectures and libraries which are owned by OEMs and integrators instead of (or in addition to) the standard process control library.
STANDARD VERSION
The standard version of FACTORY 41 GENERATOR is provided with a database of functional (PLC) and graphical (SCADA/HMI) software libraries that allows you to model the process control of plants and machinery in their typical components and logics:
-
Digital instruments
-
Analog instruments
-
Actuators (motors and valves)
-
Regulation loop (PID)
-
Logics of actuators interlock
-
Logics of process alarms
-
Logics of process according to the paradigm of finite-state machine
​
This kind of architecture ensures you an ideal approach to the process control.
EXTENDED VERSION
The first level of possible customization of the code and dcumentation generation system is the one that extends the standard version with additional specific high level functions of your plant or machinery, to be able to further improve the efficiency of the development cycle.
​
Even in case of serial productions, the free and parameterized generation of the code and documentation through FACTORY41 GENERATOR turns out to be more efficient and organized than copy-and-paste operations.
CUSTOMIZED VERSION
If you are a developer which prefers to work with your own software and documental architecture based on proprietary libraries, the use of a customized FACTORY41 GENERATOR version based on that architectures allows to:
-
Keep your know-how unchanged
-
Improve the efficiency and the organization of your own automation software development cycle
-
Reduce to the minimum project's timescales of the whole project life cycle (engineering, development, commissioning and Start-Up)
