Toolkit

Ultimate flexibility
in engineering

In times of scarce resources, innovative technologies are essential.

At Neuron Automation, we pursue an entirely new engineering concept: We combine safe and non-safe applications as well as libraries from IEC languages and C/C++ in a seamless development environment.

To enable the parallel programming of safety functions alongside applications, it integrates a pre-certified safety toolchain that supports the engineering of safety functions up to SIL 3 according to IEC 61508, PLE according to ISO 13849, and ASIL C according to ISO 26262.

The combination with our runtime systems enables fast, ﬂexible and efﬁcient programming of functionally safe control applications.

Application

Engineering Tools

Desktop & Browser-Based

The centrepiece of our engineerconcept is an industry- and platform-independent multi-language development environment that has a a modular structure and can be expanded flexibly.

It is available either as desktop software or as a browser-based solution. Application engineering is supported in all relevant IEC61131-3 standard languages (FBD, LD, SFC, ST), but also in C and C++ as well as other IT languages.

Neuron Power Engineer

Neuron Power Engineer is the current engineering tool for development of safe and non-safe applications. Furthermore, it is used to develop and test reusable libraries. It satisfies the needs of developers and automation engineers alike.

Neuron Smart Engineer

Neuron Smart Engineer is the next generation of engineering tools. Built on the proven and platform independent backend of the Neuron Power Engineer, it provides a modern and intuitive web-based front end to cater to an even broader range of users from developers and automation engineers to safety engineers and maintenance technicians. The variety of available programming languages is greatly expanded by supporting all available extensions to Visual Studio Code.

Runtimes

Flexible & highly scalable

With our runtime system variants, we offer an easily integrable, flexible Soft-PLC.

The solutions built on top of it range from simple applications on cost-effective microcontrollers to PLC networks processing millions of data points in real-time. Cloud-based and virtualized programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are also possible.

Runtime Max

Neuron RTS Max is a full featured PLC runtime system. It is completely hardware independent and typically combined with a realtime operating system to provide hard realtime performance.

A data exchange layer allows integration with other applications, e.g. fieldbus systems or custom I/O boards or 3rd party applications.

Runtime Micro

Neuron RTS Micro is a runtime system for execution of standard programs on embedded micro controllers.

Runtime Nano

Neuron RTS Nano is our smallest runtime solution for execution of plc programs on embedded micro controllers.

Benefits

Fieldbus Configurators

IEC 61508 pre-certified

Another element of our Neuron Toolkit is the fieldbus configurator. It serves as interface to common fieldbus protocols. In addition it serves a consistant look-and-feel across fieldbus standards.

Safe Parameter Editor

Standalone or integrated

Our Safety Parameter Editor is a precertified Component to parameterize safety hardware devices. The editor supports all common formats of device descriptions.

Parameter input can be done via web based interface. This interface can run standalone as PC application or integrated in customer specific engineering tools.

After that the safety parameters got packed into a binary container that will be transferred to the device and can be read by an API to distribute the parameters.
