Application Development
The AADvance® Workbench software or AADvance®-Trusted® SIS
Workstation software environment helps you with the task of automation
during the life-cycle of your system, from system design to commissioning and
the day to day operation and maintenance. For application development, the
AADvance Workbench software or AADvance-Trusted SIS Workstation
software has powerful, intuitive features and functionality to enhance
simplicity.
This chapter introduces the AADvance Workbench software and AADvance-
Trusted SIS Workstation software, and describes basic software features.
Programming Language
Support
The AADvance Workbench software and AADvance-Trusted SIS Workstation
software are IEC 61131-3 compliant, offering up to five of the languages of the
standard:
• Ladder diagram (graphical)
• Function block diagram (graphical)
• Structured text (textual)
• Instruction list (textual)
• Sequential function chart (graphical)
Program Management
Facilities
The development environment is designed for collaborative working. A group
of engineers can work together, with shared ownership of a project. Each
contributor can simply look at the part of the application on which they wish to
work.
Program management features let you identify each functional module
(program organization unit) and its operations, and the interactions between
modules to form the complete application. This modular construction can help
future use of code units. Engineers can debug their own modules
independently from each other.
IMPORTANT
AADvance Workbench software version 1.4 supports the
Instruction List (IL) language.
AADvance Workbench software version 2.x and AADvance-
Trusted SIS Workstation software do not support the IL language.
ATTENTION: The AADvance Workbench software and AADvance-Trusted
SIS Workstation software do not support the Sequential Function Chart
(SFC) language for safety-related applications.
