HIMA Automated testing with SILworX Smart Safety Test

Automated testing with SILworX Smart Safety Test

The life cycle of a safety system requires necessary tests. Smart Safety Test offers flexible test

concepts for engineering, factory acceptance test, site integration test, commissioning and

automated retesting.

• Supports the use of recommended methods regarding automated tests and acceptance

• Defined test cases are reusable and always up-to-date

• Automated checks for any changes

• Usable to support and document proof tests

• Automated documentation of the test execution and results

• Directly executable on the safety PLC

Comparing logics and making changes visible. With the SILworX COMPARATOR PLUS project

changes are quick, easy and comprehensible. It allows you to compare the logic of two programs,

functions or functions blocks (Programming Organization Units) with one another, displaying the

changes graphically and in tabular form with a high degree of detail.

• Comparison of projects and archives

• Comparison of function block logic

• Comparison of step functions

Potential sources of error in the application are reduced to a minimum. Change tracking is digitally available.

While maintaining the highest functional standards, the COMPARATOR PLUS simplifies the Management-of

Change process at every stage of the lifecycle. This applies both during the engineering process and

for modifications during operation.

The SILworX API (application programming interface) is an interface which allows SILworX functions

to be called from an external program. The call is made over an SSL-encrypted connection with certificate handling.

Both the process and rail industries use the API for:

• Automated tests

• Automated readout of system information

• Automated readout of diagnostic information

• Automated archiving and version management

Reload/Download/Code Generation

A 64-bit version of SILworX is now available. This means that the program uses the full performance of

modern PCs and there is no memory limitation for program sizes.

A reload for large projects (including code generation) can be carried out two to five times faster,

resulting in enormous time savings.

Multiforce

Up to five users can carry out forces simultaneously on one controller. This enables faster and more

efficient testing, as well as accelerated commissioning.

VAR_IN_OUT

Combined input and output variables in function blocks for optimized performance. IN_OUT variables

can be used to both read and write variables within the function block.
