JamaicaVM for CoDeSys WebVisu

Visualizations for CoDeSys-Controllers

Karlsruhe, Germany–31 January 2008

In cooperation with 3S—Smart Software Solutions, aicas now offers JamaicaVM for CoDeSys WebVisu. CoDeSys development software provides quick and effortless creation of visualizations conforming to the IEC 61131-3 standard. This cooperation enables these visualizations to run on a wide range of embedded systems. aicas offers a JamaicaVM that can be installed on many different systems quickly and integrated seamlessly into an existing CoDeSys development environment. Possible targets are embedded systems with displays and controllers with integrated displays. The following operating systems are supported: Linux, OS-9, VxWorks, and WindowsCE. Further operating systems can be supported on request.

Displaying the desired visualization on an embedded system is simple and straight forward. First, the customer creates a visualization with CoDeSys. Then, this visualization, together with the projected controller application, is loaded onto a (soft-) PLC. When started on a web panel JamaicaVM for CodeSys WebVisu retrieves the projected data from the controller and displays the visualization. Thus the web panel runs independently. Changes in the project simpy need to be loaded onto the PLC. Using JamaicaVM technologies provides excellent performance, even on small systems.

A new licensing scheme offers customers the advantage that they no longer need to acquire a full project license including the JamaicaVM tool chain, just a precompiled VM for their target hardware. Thus aicas can offer JamaicaVM for CoDeSys WebVisu for a very low per unit price. This solution, adopted from 3S—Smart Software Solutions, makes JamaicaVM for CoDeSys WebVisu very attractive for manufacturers and distributors of panel PCs for both large and small quantities.
