Read the KAS Manuals

The KAS Release Notes contain a summary of:

• New features, fixed and known limitations, workarounds
• Information on all hardware and software components that have been updated, changed, or added in the release.

Contains these main steps to get the KAS system up and running.

• Hardware (HW) Installation (Connection and Wiring): Wiring and hardware details, connectors, system diagrams.
• HW Configuration: Basic configuration and settings needed to start the HW components (e.g., 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, Fieldbus A 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).
• Software (SW) Installation: KAS software setup.

Contains the main topics to get started 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
  See the Key Features in KAS.
• Explore the Workspace
  Become familiar with KAS GUI.
• Build a Motion Project
  Almost every task performed in KAS falls under one of these basic steps (which may not always be completed in this order):
  1. Start Projects - Create a project from scratch or modify an existing project.
     See Create a Project.
  2. Add Components - Add necessary elements to build the project and control the motion part of the system.
     This includes: Create Variables, Adding Motion, and Programs: Structure and Syntax.
  3. Build Output - Select a device and generate the application to deliver to users.
     See Run the Project.
  4. Run Output - Make the output accessible to end-users.

Contains content to help with KAS-IDE except the topics included in the Reference Manuals.

Contains Technical References on PLC Programming Languages and Library.
