With SDA, automation engineers can securely connect to their systems anywhere, streamline development and improve collaboration, quickly backup and restore code, and track PLC code changes across multiple vendors.
Software Defined Automation adds support for Mitsubishi Electric, Rockwell Automation and Siemens
Software Defined Automation now supports Mitsubishi Electric’s engineering software, GX Works3. Automated backup, code versioning and browser-based engineering for GX Works3 are available today, allowing automation engineers to make changes, save, deploy and back up their PLCs from anywhere using a web browser . In addition, Software Defined Automation has extended support for Rockwell Automation Studio 5000 Logix Designer to version 15 and to version 14 for Siemens TIA Portal.
New features improve project management and collaboration, reduce time spent on low-value tasks, and reduce security risks
Document uploads, generally available today, provide manufacturers with a central repository for all documentation related to a project/machine/work cell, such as work instructions, maintenance manuals and electrical drawings, to improve management and storage. All documents uploaded to the selected project are fully version controlled. Rendering is currently available for PDFs, while renderings for other document types will be available soon.
Available in public preview today, Pipelines automate the orchestration of complex PLC backup, deployment, and disaster recovery workflows. Configuring backups and deployments on a per-device basis, especially in diverse, multi-vendor environments, is time-consuming and requires significant manual effort. Now automation engineers can create a unified workflow that backups, deploys, and restores PLC code versions for hundreds of controllers simultaneously, which is especially useful for reducing mean time to recovery (MTTR) in the event of a disaster, cyber-attack, or other dangerous situations. other incident.
Project Commentary, available today in public preview, improves collaboration and communication between automation engineers as they work together on PLC programs. Users can add comments to any block of PLC code, and Project Comments will display a notification indicating that comments are present and can be addressed. Users can view the comments, make changes to the code based on the input, and respond, all within the project.
Industrial DevOps at SPS 2024
On November 12-14, 2024Software Defined Automation will present its Industrial DevOps solution in Hall 7, Stand 196 at SPS 2024. Attendees can learn how to manage, extend, deploy and secure their PLC code and see live demos of automated backup, version control and browser-based engineering, Factory Agent AI generated code documentation and secure remote access. A modular robot cell, presented in collaboration with NEXOS.Group, simulates the remote commissioning of robots, using Industrial DevOps to configure the robot, integrate it into a production system and test it.
In addition, SEW-EURODRIVE will preview its DriveOperations concept, a secure, web-based tool developed together with Software Defined Automation and Clevertech S. p., in Hall 3A, Stand 411. has been developed. A. that revolutionizes the orchestration and distribution of cross-vendor operations technology software.
