 Mathias Dutour / UAB Dev. team  UNICOS regular meeting  29 January 2009

Needs to address. Usage: the big picture. A closer look. Other UAB capabilities. Current status.

User perspective: Flexible tools to adapt to project specific needs. Extensive and customizable support for troubleshooting. Traceability and consistency of generated artefacts. UNICOS core team perspective: Improve control of tools and UNICOS Device Type evolution. Minimize new UNICOS Device Type integration. Minimize new target platform code generator development. Minimize maintenance of software tools on the long run.

UNICOS Model: Mold for the creation of UNICOS Device Types definitions. Standard UNICOS characteristics Device Types must, should or may embed. Covers front-end, SCADA aspects and more of Device Types. Is maintained and controlled by the UNICOS core team. Is platform independent (e.g.:PVSS, Schneider, etc.) Type Creation Tool (TCT): Guides the user in the creation of custom Device Types based on UNICOS Model. Improved control of tool and UNICOS Device Type evolution. Can generate Excel-XML templates for instances edition and much more.

Generation plugin (platform specific) Selected generation templates Application configuration (Project- specific) Std. and project-specific verification rules Selected Device Type definitions … Std. and project-specific plugin configurations UAB Core …

Based on Device Type definitions, one could generate automatically: Device type documentation. Code skeletons for PLC baseline. Etc. Using UAB Core, it becomes very easy to manipulate: Jython scripts interacting with other data sources. Any input XML file (in and out). Configuration information. Target code snippets. Etc.

UNICOS Model and TCT: Comments from UNICOS Core team being collected. UAB Core: Ready. Schneider PLC instances: Ready, needs Device Types for evaluation. Schneider PVSS instances: Ready, needs Device Types for evaluation. Siemens PLC instances: ~80% completed, needs Device Types for evaluation. Schneider PLC logic: (1 week delay, week 6 to be confirmed).
