Release Notes		The KAS version 3.05 Release Notes contain fixed limitations, known limitations, workarounds, and information on all hardware and software components that have been updated, changed or added in this release.
Getting Started		Covers the main steps to get your KAS system up and running. What does it contain? HW Installation (Connection and Wiring): Wiring & hardware details, connectors, system diagrams HW Configuration: Basic configuration and settings needed to start the HW components (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 + Industrial PC + FieldbusA Fieldbus is an industrial network system for real-time distributed control (e.g. CAN or Profibus). It is a way of connecting instruments in a plant design + I/O) SW Installation: KAS software setup
30 Minutes to Motion		Covers the main topics to help you start quickly with KAS IDE"Integrated development environment" An integrated development environment is a type of computer software that assists computer programmers in developing software. IDEs normally consist of a source code editor, a compiler and/or interpreter, build-automation tools, and a debugger. The objective is to familiarize you with the basic principles and the way the program works by creating a simple motion application project. What does it contain? Key Features Take a look at some of the main features in KAS Explore the Workspace Become familiar with KAS user interface Build a motion project Almost every task that you perform in KAS falls under one of the following basic steps (which may not always be completed in the following order): Start Projects - Create a project from scratch, or modify an existing project. See "Creating a Project" Add Components - Add elements to build your project, such as PLC programs, variables and Pipe Network necessary to control the motion part of your system. Build Output - Select a device and generate the application that you will deliver to users. see "Running the Project" Run Output - Make the output accessible to your end-users.
IDE User Manual		Contains the content to help you with KAS IDE, except the topics included in the Reference Manuals.
Reference Manual - 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 Library		Contains Technical References on PLC Programming Languages and Library.
Reference Manual - Motion Library		Contains Technical References on Motion Library for Pipe Network and PLCopenA vendor -and product- independent worldwide association active in Industrial Control and aiming at standardizing PLC file formats based on XML.
