Overview

Software has become a decisive cost and time factor in regard to developing and establishing manufacturing systems and settling them into operation. This text discusses ways to reduce costs and raise quality in the development of control software. It describes new methods for the solution of control software problems. Items included are: definitions and requirements of software for control technology; system design, describing forms of control software; case tools for the generation of a code; configuration, adaptation of standard software variants, re-usablilty of software and man-machine-interface. The book offers an overview of the state-of-the-art in the industry and research.
