Profile
Since 1998, Axel provides
software solutions to the industrial automation market, delivering tools and
applications to a growing number of customers, operating in a wide range of
sectors, from motion control to refrigeration and air conditioning.
Axel's main focus is the
development of software PC tools aimed at programming, configuring, and
supervising industrial apparels. Moreover, the company provides software
consultancy services in related fields, such as real-time operating-systems and
fieldbuses.
With more than a decade
of experience in the industrial automation sector, Axel offers all its knowledge
and know-how to support our clients in the process of new product development.
Products
LogicLab
Among Axel's tools is
LogicLab, an IEC61131-3 Integrated Development Environment supporting the whole
range of languages defined in the standard.
 LogicLab
comes with a lightweight PLC run-time,
entirely written in the C programming language (thus, easily portable to
virtually all devices), whose exceptionally reduced memory footprint and code
efficiency do not pose any limit on the target device. Actually, LogicLab has
been successfully ported on many 32-, 16-, and even 8-bit micro-controllers.
LogicLab's compiler
translates applications written according to the IEC standard directly into machine
code, avoiding the need for a run-time interpreter, thus making the
program execution as fast as possible.
LogicLab integrates a powerful
debugging system, which allows the sampling of fast changing data
directly on the target environment, ensuring the information is accurate and
reliable. Among the other debugging capabilities, it is worth to mention the
visual debugger for graphical languages, which shows live and clearly the
evolution of an SFC or LD program. Breakpoints
are also supported.
 The
tool itself has been designed with performance in mind: system requirements are
loose, while the IDE responsiveness enhances the user experience. Moreover, a
full set of advanced editing features, such as code
completion and widespread drag&drop
functions, is included, making LogicLab a particularly user-friendly
application.
LogicLab is highly
customizable, in order to meet the specific requirements of all the
supported target devices: including an embedded
Web browser and a powerful scripting interface, LogicLab can be
easily extended with device-specific functionalities.
Other products
LogicLab smoothly
integrates with other Axel products, including a human-machine interface builder
(PageLab),
a device- and network-configuration tool (SysLab),
an emulator (SimuLab),
and a soft PLC execution environment (LLExec),
providing a comprehensive software suite able to meet the most challenging
requirements.
