- With the increasing complexity of control programs
and the tight of budgets and timelines
of both greenfield and maintenance projects,
a new software tool assisted approach
is needed to help manage the control software life cycle.
Schneider Electric new EcoStruxure Control Engineering
is a set of agnostic software engineering tools
that support you by automating tasks,
such as code verification, conversion,
reverse-engineering, and troubleshooting.
These tools similar to those commonly
used in IT and embedded software
help provide a better understanding
of your control programs at any
stage of the software life cycle.
They enabled you to improve program quality
while reducing costs and time required.
The EcoStruxure Control Engineering tools,
Cloud or server based applications,
that's are accessible via simple web browser.
They can also be integrated with your
existing development tool chain.
They are suitable for any user working
with control programs, including end users,
system integrators, and machine builders.
But what really makes these tools unique
is that they support several different PLC makes and models,
giving you one unique set of tools
to manage even your mixed installed basis.
Let's have a closer look at the four tools.
EcoStruxure Control Engineering Verification
is a static analysis tool for code
quality and conformity management.
It works by analyzing a control program
against the chosen set of programming rules.
Whether general good practice rules
or based on the company or industry standard.
It then generates a list of the non-conformities
and information on the code complexity
to help you improve your code and ensure conformity.

The second tool EcoStruxure Control Engineering Converter
is an automatic conversion and re-engineering
tool for control programs, support
modernization and migration projects.
It generates reliable high quality code,
which retains the same functionalities
as a source application.
The tool can convert between different PLC makes and models,
tuning many legacy systems, as well as
between IEC 61131 languages or to C code.
The next tool, EcoStruxure Control Engineering Documentation
is a reverse engineering tool that
retrieves information from an existing source code
and presents it in the simple form of control and data flows
and cross-references to facilitate understanding.
The tool can be used to support change management,
impact analysis and comprehension
of unfamiliar or legacy systems.
Finally, EcoStruxure Control Engineering Monitoring
is a real time system level diagnostic support
for troubleshooting of PLC based control systems.
It works by providing a simplified representation
of the program upon which the real time
variable values are displayed.
This allows you to understand the current state
of your system more easily and
to find the origin of a machine failure more quickly.
To sum up EcoStruxure Control Engineering tools
are collaborative, configurable, and multi PLC.
Enabling them to adapt any of your control program projects.
The tools work in compliment with the major PLC development
environments, including EcoStruxure Control Expert.

or via your local Schneider representative.
