Software
Software can be seen as the real core of the system as it allows customizing applications and providing excellent control of different mechanical systems.
The development covers both embedded programming of 8 and 16 bit microcontrollers and development of PC-software.
The latter mainly concerns development of tools for communication with the controller (parameter-tuning, statistics, diagnostics, etc.).
In the embedded software three layers can be distinguished:

  • Real time Operating Systems & BIOS 
  • Algorithms: developed per application type.
  • Applications: adjusted to the customer's specification.

Embedded software is developed using C and PL/M-51
In-circuit emulators, debuggers, CAN analysers and logic analysers are used to develop bug free software.  The software is developed per IEC 1508 and VDE 801 standards to meet the international safety requirements.
