Podpora tvorby řídicích aplikací pro programovatelný automat BaR

Abstract

Goal of the thesis is to develop an appliaction that automates and streamlines creation of control systems for B&R programable logical computers in Automation Studio environment. More specifically, the application will automate the mapping of input and output variables as well as generation of hardware configuration. The final application will be used as follows: the user loads input data from an external file. Then, using the application – and based on loaded input data along with internal application data – a mapped input/output variables file and a hardware configuration file will be generated. Both files will be readable and proccesable by Automation Studio without futher modifications. Tedious proccess of variable mapping will thus be reduced to just a few mouse clicks. Application will be tailored to the needs of specific automatization company based in Ostrava, but it will be developed with universal applicability in mind.
