Based on the real time control system ERSIS, conceived by us at the technical University of Hamburg-Harburg, we developed the process control and automation system WinErs. It was created completely in our company and is adapted and enhanced further constantly to new requirements as a result of its manifold use in industry and training.
A further emphasis in our work is automation technology. In the field of process engineering, environmental technology and biotechnology we take over tasks of automation from project engineering over configuring and realisation to commissioning. Among other things control engineering is most important to us.
The close relationship of control engineering with simulation techniques enables us to use our experience in various projects of dynamic system simulations. The simple and various possibilities of WinErs as a simulation system support the development of new simulation projects.
As an engineering office, we deal flexibly with customer's requests and offer optimised solutions.
WinErs is a modular process automation system that can be used as a visualisation- , monitoring- , measurement- , control- and simulation-system, and as full process control system running on Windows-PCs.
Visualisation: complete monitoring, supervision, and operating of processes via user-defined graphical interfaces · a multiplicity of static and dynamic elements · extend the functionality with user-programmed blocks (DLL blocks) · implement ActiveX objects
Measurement and data acquisition: individual configuration of storage type: standard measurement, cyclic measurement, event-dependent measurement, long-term measurement * long-term offers storage of data for months and years, event-dependent measurement offers data storage triggered by events such as alarms * variable representation of the measured values * online export of the measured data via DDE and ODBC interface * offline export of data to text files * archivation features
GRAFCET: Edit and create sequence control systems with GRAFCET (EN 60848) * GRAFCET editor * Online-debugger for GRAFCET structures
Multi user administration: administration of users with hierarchical rights * password protection * individual layouts
Alarms: management of up to one million alarm messages * classification of the messages in five types from operating to error messages * message output on a printer * alarm archives with extensive filter capability
Protocols: protocol editor for designing individual protocols * time-, event- (signal-dependent) or manual triggering of protocols * automatic printout
Recipes: access to all signals and parameters * structured definition of recipes through usage of subrecipes
Batch-Recipes: Create batch sequences using unit operations and step enablling conditions according IEC1131
COM-Interface: COM automation server, completely implementable in Visual Basic and Delphi * schedule for triggering tasks in WinErs (e.g. measurement data archiving, print tasks) * scheduler for various jobs (e.g. print jobs, data archivation)
Client-server-architecture: WinErs can be configured in the network as a single or a multi-station system * access to the server task via DDE, network or serial interface * ODBC-Interface
External Messaging: automatic transmission of errors and alarms as messages to mobile phones, pagers, fax machines and mail servers
Process interfaces: OPC Server and cllient * Web-Server * TCP/IP-Modbus * PROFIBUS * INTERBUS-S * H1 bus * 3964R * AS511 * serial interfaces * PC network * open driver interface to adapt to other devices or process interfaces
