Proficy Machine Edition is a
universal development environment for HMI, motion, and control
applications that all share a single workspace and tool set. Coupled
with an efficient, user-friendly structure and standardized user
interface, Proficy Machine Edition is designed for ease-of-use and
quick time-to-solution for the entire project lifecycle. From
configuring and developing to commissioning and maintaining, Proficy
Machine Edition 6.0 increases the efficacy of applications providing
users with a sustainable advantage for their business.
“Proficy Machine Edition release 6.0
is all about making it even easier for users to simplify programming,
speed the time-to-solution, and enhance the overall object oriented
programming capability,” said Kam Yuen, GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms’
Product Manager for Proficy Machine Edition. “We are adding features
that will enable users to increase their programming efficiency and
reduce initial errors, so that they can complete their projects and
realize revenue from their applications more quickly.”
Included in the Proficy Machine
Edition 6.0 release is the ability to create User Defined Data Types,
allowing users to create data structures that represent real world
equipment and objects. This feature may contain basic data types such
as integers, real numbers, Boolean variables, or other User Defined
Data Types. All of the structure elements can be referenced
individually as well as a whole, and individual elements or the entire
structure can be passed to a function block. Together with our award
winning Tool Box feature, User Defined Type provides our customers with
a powerful object oriented programming environment that will
significantly reduce their application development time and increase
their productivity.
Also included in the Proficy Machine
Edition 6.0 release is Variable Indexed Arrays. This allows users to
index an array of basic type and User Defined Type using a variable in
Structure Text, Function Block Diagram, and Ladder Diagram environment.
Variable Indexed Arrays provides an important tool that will enable our
customers to develop modular and reusable code.
“In the end, companies want a
powerful, object based development environment that is simple to use,
so that they can develop great applications for their end users,”
concluded Yuen. “Proficy Machine Edition 6.0 provides them that
ability, making it easier to realize the benefits of their application
throughout its entire lifecycle.”
Proficy Machine Edition 6.0 is available immediately.
