The Object Oriented Alarming (OOA) Library of ControlSphere Engineering enhances the CODESYS Alarm Manager to allow objects (Function Blocks) to create and activate their own alarms.

This library provides access to the best features of the Alarm Manager (such as Alarm Classes, Actions, Acknowledgment, Archiving, and Visualization integration) while eliminating the need for the PLC programmer to manually create and maintain alarm lists separate from the control code.

The "KUKA.PLC mxAutomation 3.3" command interface enables KUKA robots to be programmed via PLC function blocks. The included function block library and the small sample project show examples of simple programming, diagnostics and manual processes. The interpreter to be installed on the robot can be ordered from KUKA Roboter under KUKA.PLC mxAutomation 3.3 with the article number 00-397-175. This version 3.3 is suitable for the KUKA System Software V8.6 (KR C4) and V8.7 (KR C5).

The framework “SQL4CODESYS” allows direct communication between CODESYS controls and databases. With the database, large amounts of data can be efficiently managed, which opens up many new possibilities (detailed logging of information, flexible production by retrieving production parameters, recording of process values during production for traceability, interface to ERP and order management systems, …).

Compared to systems which communicate via an OPC interface, the software architecture is considerably simpler and more powerful with this approach!

The framework has been developed and can be used for a variety of databases, PLC and robot controls.
