KAS Simulator

Thanks to the KAS Simulator tool, development of the machine software can start before (or parallel with) bringing in production. Thus developers can already begin to develop and test their application without any hardware available. Once ready, the application can be deployed on the targeted controller.

By allowing developers to run the full application (HMI"Human-machine interfaces " Also known as computer-human interfaces (CHI), and formerly known as man-machine interfaces, they are usually employed to communicate with PLCs and other computers, such as entering and monitoring temperatures or pressures for further automated control or emergency response, soft PLC"Programmable Logic Controller" A Programmable Logic Controller, PLC, or Programmable Controller is a digital computer used for automation of industrial processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines. Used to synchronize the flow of inputs from (physical) sensors and events with the flow of outputs to actuators and events, motion and I/Os) totally independently from the final targeted machine, KAS helps reducing:

Development time, by limiting down time waiting for other engineers (mechanical, electrical…) to test, fix and tune the real machine
Cost, by limiting broken hardware due to software bugs.
