Standard runtime

Thanks to the event based protocol over Ethernet, distributed applications can be implemented easily and quickly and security system reliability can be ensured with the support of redundant Ethernet Network and quality bits. The runtime integrates a wide range of function blocks such as regulation function block (e.g. PID),  File Transfer, Parsing of xml data and communications function blocks. 

For integrators interested in supporting advanced function blocks or special fieldbus or protocoles, the Function Block Development Kit (FBDK) and the Driver Development Kit (DDK) toolkits are available to create own custom configuration tool in the straton Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and support a new hardware configuration or a new protocol. 

straton supports an integrated solution with the zenon SCADA/HMI from COPA-DATA. All variables are instantly available in the SCADA system, resulting in considerable time saved in development and maintenance of the overall system.

Connection with other SCADA/HMI packages can be done through a variety of means, including OPC server DA 2.0, MODBUS Server, Profinet RT IO Device or EtherNet/Adapter. For a simple application that requires only HMI features the straton Windows HMI is available.

Protocols for Windows Straton runtime

The straton runtime is a software component configurable with the straton Integrated Development Environment. The configuration of a communication between two or more fieldbus becomes simple. For instance, no programming is necessary to collect data from a proprietary CAN to the EtherNet/IP as everything is done through configuration.

The Standard straton Runtime supports the following boards and protocols. Other can be supported on request.

• Anybus  (HMS) - PCI  Board
• ApplicomIO (Molex) - Configuration using Applicom console
• AS-interface - Bilh+Wiedemann
• BACNET over MS/TP server - RS-485
• Brodersen IO TOOLS
• Compact COM (HMS) - Serial connection
• CAN - IXXAT, KVASER, PEAK, GRID CONNECT
• CANopen Master - IXXAT, KVASER, PEAK, GRID CONNECT
• CIF (Hilscher) - Hilscher SYCON configuration
• CIFx (Hilscher) - Hilscher SYCON.net
• ETHERNET/IP (ODVA) - Scanner, Adapter, PointIO, FlexIO
• MODBUS Master/Slave - RS232, RS485, UDP, TCP/IP, ASCII
• OPC DA Client DA 2.0

Energy straton runtime

A runtime specifically designed for electricity market, power generation, substation automation, transmission and distribution grids. Complementary to the standard features supported, well know protocol in Energy industry are completely integrated in one tool like IEC 61850.

Additional feautures:

• IEC60870-5-104 server
• IEC 61850 Client
• IEC 61850 Server & Goose
