DASSAULT UNVEILS NEW DELMIA AUTOMATION PRODUCT LINE.Dassault Systemes Dassault Systemes (Dassault Systèmes S.A.) (Pronounced - Dasoh) (NASDAQ: DASTY; Euronext: 13065) is a leading company specializing in 3D and PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) software. has unveiled its new DELMIA DELMIA Digital Enterprise Lean Manufacturing Interactive Application Automation product line, which enables control engineers in all automation industries to digitally define, control and monitor automated systems entirely in a 3D virtual environment. Based upon a unique Logic Control Modeler (LCM (Liquid Crystal Monitor) A flat panel display that uses the liquid crystal (LCD) technology. See flat panel display. ) technology, DELMIA Automation provides a digital model of control logic for an automated system independent of PLC hardware. DELMIA Automation helps to significantly reduce product launch time by identifying control logic errors well before implementation through evaluation of PLC programs and/or changes on virtual equipment instead of taking risks on the real equipment -- allowing the pre-commissioning of the PLC logic and program. This reduces development time, reduces costs in both manpower and capital investment and increases total factory productivity. "With the increasing time and cost pressures that are put upon new product introductions and production efficiency, automation design and PLC programming can no longer be seen as an isolated function in the development process," said Philippe Charles, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , DELMIA. "DELMIA Automation's collaborative digital workspace allows mechanical, electrical, and control design engineers to work in parallel to share knowledge, react to changes, and communicate within the same V5 virtual environment." The new solution provides a natural extension to the DELMIA PLM (Product Life cycle Management) A comprehensive information system that coordinates all aspects of a product from initial concept to its eventual retirement. Sometimes called the "digital backbone" of a product, it includes the requirements phase, analysis and design (Product Lifecycle Product lifecycle or product life cycle is the course of a product's sales and profits over time. The five stages of each product lifecycle are product development, introduction, growth, maturity and decline. Management) offering. While PLM solutions simplify and enhance end-to-end product management, Automation solutions validate and improve the internal behavior of control systems. PLM Data can also be reused and integrated into DELMIA Automation for a truly powerful solution that extends beyond the product lifecycle cycle vision. DELMIA Automation is a scalable solution that can be used as a stand-alone programming environment for PLC's using the languages defined in the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iec.ch) An organization that sets international electrical and electronics standards founded in 1906. It is made up of national committees from over 60 countries. IEC - International Electrotechnical Commission 61131-3 standard or deployed as a complete automation solution integrating mechanical, electrical and control design data in a 3D environment. DELMIA Automation LCM Studio provides the tools necessary to create, edit, debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. , and validate a PLC program and allows users to create and re-use predefined control logic blocks. The resulting program can be downloaded to a PLC through an optional PLC Setup. PLC Setups for DELMIA Automation are developed in close collaboration with major PLC providers such as SIEMENS A&D Automation Systems, Schneider Electric and OMRON Corporation.
