Supporting the entire process
BCS Tools - supporting the entire process
BCS Tools is the one-in-all tool supporting the entire process from engineering through commissioning to maintenance.
Features of BCS Tools
BCS Tools is a CODESYS-based IEC 61131-3 development system for programming intelligent automation devices. BCS Tools offers a variety of user-friendly engineering functions to make your development process faster and more efficient. BCS Tools is an all-in-one tool supporting the entire process from engineering though commissioning and maintenance.
The BCS Tools development system
BCS Tools conforms to the IEC 61131-3 standard and provide practice-oriented and standardized application programming for users from all industrial sectors. BCS Tools additionally integrates comprehensive possibilities for high-level language programming. Many functions support users of different programming levels in all development phases.
- Project tree for structuring project configuration e.g. to divide the entire application into objects and tasks.
- Configurator for integrating and describing various devices and fieldbus systems.
- Editors for typical application development in all graphical and text-based implementation languages defined by the IEC 61131-3.
- Functions for continued project engineering, such as linking of existing C code, integrated 3D visualization or interfaces to other software systems.
- Compilers generating lean and powerful machine code. Debugger, simulator, and SoftPLC (as trial target system) for direct user testing of the created applications.
