1. UNICOS Application Builder Architecture
Ivan Prieto Barreiro - 26 November 2012

2. Introduction: Shortcomings and needs
Generators unification & scalability
Many generators in different technologies (e.g. Ms .Access, VB, C)
UNICOS CPC generator based on Ms. Access difficult to maintain and upgrade.
Extended Flexibility
New device type
Enhance functionalities
Ease the CPC user logic templates
Reduced set of functions and non-easy to use
Facilitate the life cycle of new applications made by users
Specs help and Documentation: Devices, procedures
Tutorials
Tools and mechanisms (e.g. re-engineering )

3. UAB Architecture UAB Core UAB Plug-ins UAB Resources UAB Components
Common services required by most of the plug-ins (user report, logging, …)
Dynamically discovering the different plug-ins
Load the UNICOS project data
Connect plug-ins with external files (specs, device type definitions, …)
UAB Plug-ins
Platform dependent (Siemens, Schneider, WinCC O. A., …)
The plug-ins define the structure and format of the generated files (XML, SCL, …)
UAB Resources
Set of resources required by the plug-ins
UAB Components
Logical integration of UAB plug-ins
Friendly user interface (Wizard)
Detected by installation and update tool (UAB Bootstrap)

15. Logic by User Templates I
Use case: 2 OnOff valves PV001 and PV002 located in 2 identical circuits with the same logic structure
PV001:
Open If: the master PCO “circuit1” is On AND the pressure PT015 < 1bar
Close if: the master PCO “circuit1” is Off OR the pressure PT015 > 2bar
PV002:
The same but with its respective sensors
