Engineering

Realizing visionary thinking

In many projects there is a high effort for programming and documentation in the beginning. That is different with zenon. Because zenon is simply parameterized. This is easy to learn, avoids errors and works very securely. And documentation is generated nearly automatically.

The engineering for the zenon Runtime happens via the zenon Editor. All kinds of projects, no matter if a stand-alone, network or redundant, are engineered for all hardware platforms (CE, PC, WWW) with the same Editor. Fully integrated and independent of resolution.

That means: Each project can be used without further modification in every network topology and on every operating system. Even the picture size is automatically adapted to the monitor-solution of the target system.

Some highlights:

Symbol library

Which symbol should it be? And when do you want to use it where and how and link it? You will find the right symbol in our symbol library.

Wizards

Make engineering easy for you. In zenon a number of assistants help you, being glad to take over the main part of engineering. Of course easily to adjust to your demands.

Cross-project engineering

Enjoy the freedom to split projects at will and to edit several projects simulatneously. Each can access variables and functions of other projects.

Distributed engineering

Team work! Ideal, if it were possible to split projects that easy. You can! Including variable transfer, multi user capability, conversion, automatic documentation and much more.

Import / Export

To us openness means: we like to communicate with everybody. No matter whether Siemens S7 or other systems, simple import and export of data makes life easier for you. And that's the point.

Automatic project documentation

Concentrate on engineering your equipment. We care for the automatic documentation including screenshots. Of course based on HTML with cross references as hyperlinks.

Variables und datatypes

In zenon you engineer object oriented. And this universally. Variables are based on datatypes and inherit the properties - but only if you want them to. What does this mean in practical work? ...

Resources

Use a number of symbols and graphic elements and use the variety of languages of zenon during engineering and execution.

Templates and pictures

For graphical engineering you use dynamic and vector elements. You save monitor profiles and work with optimized screen designs.

Languages

How many languages do you speak? The zenon Editor nine - and the Runtime each language you want. You you make your projects international with one mouse click. Of course you can switch the languages online.

Tools

The zenon Editor offers a number of useful tools to simplfy engineering.

Remote Transport

Who says, that you have to be at each station? Surely not with zenon. You use it on any PC, engineer, start and stop projects or even the operating system.
