Zeugwerk Framework?

Zeugwerk Framework and Zeugwerk Creator provide an integrated application framework for the structured development of PLC software Zeugwerk Framework is provided as an OOP-based library.

The strength of all libraries and applications is that they have a consistent architecture, clearly defined external interfaces and allow for modularity and reuse.

In addition, the Zeugwerk Framework is automatically unit tested and integration tested. In addition to the fully integrated Zeugwerk application, all framework objects can be easily used in existing PLC projects.

It also enables the transition from conventional PLC programming to object-oriented programming of frameworks Zeugwerk Creator is an extension of the development environment (TwinCAT XAE Shell) Additional functions that extend the IDE enable framework-based application development time is reduced.

How to start ?

ZeugwerkhTo help anyone get started quickly, a Zeugwerk Development Kit is available. This forms the Zeugwerk framework, which contains PLC libraries and application templates. In addition, a commissioning 3D virtual model is included to give you a taste of Zeugwerk application development: the Community Edition framework library is fully functional for four hours, after which the runtime switches to config mode. The Community Edition is only available for non-commercial purposes.

For the Professional commercial edition, please contact Zeugwerk directly. This edition includes the full functionality of the Zeugwerk Framework and the professional version of Zeugwerk Creator.

This is the Zeugwerk Framework, whose interview on software engineering in mechanical engineering was published in the customer magazine “What’s Next” from Felchau.Zeugwerk Framework is a standardized development of software for control systems. The Zeugwerk Framework helps with various software developments based on many years of experience in the field of software standardization for control systems.
