Innovation and implementation of standards are in the foreground while we are designing our software.

Products and Services

MULTIPROG^®SUITE

The automation platform MULTIPROG Suite allows the operation of programmable and parameterizable devices in one platform.
Due to the deep integration of IEC 61131 programming, machine visualization (ProVisIT), fieldbus configuration (SyCon.NET) and PLC Motion Control function blocks into one tool, engineering is strongly simplified. Data has to be entered only once and is then permanently available for all tools within the Suite. Customer-specific device parameterization software can be integrated by means of the open interface technology. In addition, programming of networks with distributed controls within one project is supported.

Software for Safety Technology according to IEC 61508 up to SIL3

KW-Software is the leading provider of software for safety technology according to IEC 61508 up to SIL3. Already today, KW-Software offers a complete platform for parameterization up to programming of varying applications containing certified software components according to IEC 61508:

	SAFEGRID for parameterizing safe automation devices (drives, sensors, relays)
	SAFECONF/SafeOS for configuration of safety controls by connecting function blocks
	SAFEPROG/SafeOS for free-programmable logic according to IEC 61131 for safety controls with integration into the non-safe area

KW-Software is the first company that offers the support of the PLCopen Safety Specification.

Our .NET technologies

The use of Microsoft.NET enables entirely new possibilities for engineering and programming as well as for the PLC runtime system. Based on this, interdisciplinary Programmable Automation Controllers (PAC) can be developed which combine logic, motion, visualization and process control in one hardware platform.

KW-Software substantially pushes this trend with:
Automation Framework, the component-based software platform for single tools and frameworks, based on Microsoft.NET. Applications based on Automation Framework can either be a stand alone application or integrated into an application suite. It is also possible to integrate only one component, e.g. the FBD/CFC editor, into your self-developed .NET-based automation environment. Committed to these mentioned advantages, KW-Software also uses Automation Framework 2.0 for developing the new software platform. Both, MULTIPROG.NET, the new development of the well-established IEC 61131 programming system, and ProVisIT.NET, the development of KW-Software's machine visualization, are based on the component architecture of Automation Framework 2.0.

ProConOS embedded CLR
The new open IEC 61131 PLC runtime system

The new generation of the KW-Software runtimte system, ProConOS embedded CLR, is the unified runtime system for different automation tasks (PAC). By using the internationally standardized Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) as device inerface, ProConOS embedded CL can be programmed in C# and in IEC 61131.
