VMEC – VAC Modular Equipment Control

The fastest way to equipment control

VMEC

VMEC is a development kit comprised of software components for controlling and visualising equipment modules. VMEC is based on the VAC NT/32 automation platform.
VMEC is a component library. The concept is based on software components presenting the actual hardware structure. These are tested, reusable and contain all the functions for control and visualisation. All components report during runtime on the graphical sequence editor (editor for creating the control sequence). Here you can create any control sequence and freely select the parameters for the individual groups.

Build new solutions:

Creation of new components using templates and design guidelines
Expansion of existing components using the VAC NT/32 development environment
Easy exchange of interface drivers (field bus, RS232, OPC,…)

Component visualisation:

Manual operation and configuration dialog for each component
Clear display of states, actual and nominal values
Complete configuration of all important parameters
User authorisation management
Multi-client visualisation

Control function of the components:

Control logic as Soft PLC with VAC NT/32 or as a PLC program for the Simatic S7
ADO database interface (MS-SQL Server, Oracle, Access..)
Flexible process interfaces (field bus, RS232, S7 communication, OPC..)
Monitoring function with integrated messaging system and error monitoring
Interface to VAC Automatic Manager
