Automation Inside Awards 2018
Nominated for Best Automation Software
Itris Automation PLC Checker
PLC Checker is a static analysis tool which automatically analyses PLC programs and comprehensively verifies their compliance with a set of coding rules, that can be generic (i.e. PLCopen coding guidelines) or specific to a company, industry, process, or norm. It provides a collaborative environment online which allows all project stakeholders to follow the progress of their program's development and quality.
Using PLC Checker replaces the need for manual verification tests, which take a considerable amount of time and which do not provide the level of quality required. Thanks to PLC Checker, it is now possible to systematically adopt coding standards and thus to ensure consistency between programs while ensuring a certain robustness and readability of the application.
PLC Checker can be used for audits, code reviews, controlling compliance, and controlling program quality.
PLC Checker supports all five IEC 61131-3 languages and several different PLC makes and models (Schneider Electric, Siemens, CoDeSys...).
