Examples from software development

• Control software for plant controllers
• Firmware for microcontrollers
• 3D visualizations and simulations
• Terminals for RS232, CAN, UDP, Ethernet
• Libraries for control engineering
• Spectrum analysis of arbitrary signals
• Software for CAD automation
• Function block editors

Depending on the requirements, we use Microsoft Visual Studio with the programming languages C# or VB.NET, or for low-level hardware programming AVR Studio with C++ to develop applications.

Control software of an industrial plant whose process data are synchronized in real time with a simulation or digital twin. The visualization was implemented with DirectX-3D.

Plant control that can wrap any rotational bodies with packaging film. The software scans the rotational body three-dimensionally before wrapping and calculates the optimal winding scheme based on predefined rules.

Fully automatic CAD software that generates 3D models, quotes, data sheets and production drawings from product data of an ERP system.

Revision-safe document management software with user rights management and direct display of Word and PDF files within the program.

Display of ICEs and regional trains on an Open Maps map. Current data for each train can be retrieved from a database.

Software that enables configuring, testing and flashing firmware via RS232 and LAN at a manufacturer of radio modules.

Software for monitoring and visualizing process data output by a PLC controller for debugging.

Training software for control loops that allows process plants to be connected via RS232. Many function blocks such as PID controllers or DT1 elements are available. The control loop can be modified at runtime. Control deviations of signals are shown in red.

Signal analysis that visualizes audio signals recorded via the microphone. Recurring tones or rhythms are recognized and displayed using FFT and mathematical convolution.

Disc-jockey software that suggests suitable songs based on the currently playing track. The ranking of tracks incorporates analyzed tempo, genre, key and occurrence in playlists. The software learns from each DJ gig and improves the algorithm.

A software library for automation and control applications with C# or VB.NET. The library makes it possible to implement, for example, PIDT1 controllers, time elements and signal generators with a single line of code.

Test environment that allows the behavior of digital controllers to be easily tested. The screen capture shows how a T2S control element reacts to fluctuating cycle times. The comparison shows the difference between forward Euler, backward Euler and Tustin methods.
