Abstract:
A method and device for the programming and configuration of a programmable logic controller are disclosed. The method can include: locating a configuration tool in a programming tool, wherein the configuration tool includes a module in an IEC61131 language; integrating at least one further module into the configuration tool, and executing the programming and configuration of the programmable logic controller in a high-level language using a C-Code editor, and wherein the at least one further module is configured to provide a definition of interfaces between an IEC61131 code and a high-level language code, and provide a configuration of the high-level language code.
Abstract:
A method for configuring a control device for integration of intelligent electrical field devices into a control or automation system having a flexibly expandable hardware structure is disclosed. A configuration of the system is created by a device configuration tool and a system configuration tool. Device configuration data is produced in the device configuration tool from a configuration device description and from a system configuration description provided by the system configuration tool. Project-specific libraries of the logical node types for the user-programmable controller can be created by a logical node type editor. A controller configuration tool can select for the created project-specific libraries to produce device-specific configuration descriptions.
