Windows CE-Based Real-Time Control System

Wonderware Corporationannounced the release of its new InControl CE runtime engine, along with the release of a specific InControl 7.1 platform upgrade designed for CONTEC Windows CE industrial computers.

InControl CE is a new version of Wonderware's Windows NT-based InControl software. It provides an integrated control solution that replaces proprietary control systems with open architecture control for Windows CE embedded platforms.

InControl CE uses IEC 61131-3 compliant InControl NT development environment to allow users to create applications that are easily downloaded to the InControl application engine on the CONTEC platform.

The CONTEC Box PC combined with InControl CE is designed to provide a more capable alternative than traditional PLCs. InControl CE offers a robust control package, more open connectivity and sophisticated logic capabilities to handle complex discrete and batch processes. InControl offers greater overall capacity compared with micro PLCs, and a lower cost point than mid-size PCs.

InControl CE can be programmed using IEC61131-3 relay ladder logic (RLL), sequential function chart (SFC) and structured text (ST) editors and can utilize popular, low-cost I/O from a variety of open I/O systems.

InControl is designed to expand end-user control capabilities using ActiveX-based factory objects such as PID and custom user controls. In addition, existing FactorySuite 2000 InControl NT applications can easily be upgraded to support the CONTEC Box PC.
