Advanced Programming and Testing

Ensuring Software Reliability and Performance

At PJO-Automation, we offer advanced programming and testing solutions designed to ensure the reliability, functionality, and performance of your Siemens automation systems. Our robust testing methodologies, supported by state-of-the-art simulation tools and rigorous unit testing, guarantee that your software is thoroughly validated and performs as expected under all conditions. With our integrated testing solutions, we provide peace of mind and confidence in your system’s readiness for real-world deployment.

Comprehensive Unit Testing for Unmatched Software Reliability

Unit testing is the backbone of any reliable software solution, and our product incorporates rigorous unit testing practices to ensure that every module of your application operates flawlessly. By validating each unit of the system in isolation, we catch potential issues early in the development process, ensuring a stable and reliable final product.

• Early Detection of Bugs: Our unit testing framework helps identify and resolve issues in the early stages of development, minimizing the risk of defects in production.
• Comprehensive Test Coverage: We cover all aspects of the system, from core functionality to edge cases, to ensure that every component is rigorously tested.
• Automated Testing: Automated tests are incorporated into the development process to speed up testing and reduce the chance of human error, ensuring consistent and reliable results.‍
• Continuous Integration: Unit tests are integrated into a continuous integration pipeline, providing ongoing verification and validation throughout the development life cycle.

Simulations with Node-RED on IOT2050 Devices

Our advanced simulation solutions enable you to test your software in a controlled, virtual environment before deployment. By leveraging Node-RED on IOT2050 devices, we provide realistic simulations that emulate real-world conditions, allowing you to identify potential issues and optimize performance in a cost-effective manner.

• Realistic Simulation Environment: Node-RED enables the creation of realistic test scenarios that simulate real-world interactions and conditions, providing valuable insights into system behaviour.
• IOT2050 Integration: Utilizing the IOT2050 platform ensures compatibility with a wide range of industrial devices, enabling you to test and validate communication and control mechanisms in a flexible, scalable environment.
• Scenario Testing: Simulate a variety of conditions, from normal operation to fault conditions, to assess system response and reliability in different scenarios.‍

Native HTTP Communication (JSON-Based) for Seamless Integration

Our software offers seamless integration with external systems and devices using native HTTP communication, utilizing the widely adopted JSON format for data exchange. This ensures that your application can easily communicate with other systems, devices, and APIs, facilitating smooth integration across the entire industrial ecosystem.

• Simple and Efficient Data Exchange: JSON-based communication ensures that data is transmitted in a lightweight, easily parsed format, making it efficient for both developers and the system.
• Cross-Platform Compatibility: HTTP communication ensures that your system can integrate with a wide range of platforms, including cloud services, databases, and external devices.
• Secure Communication: We prioritise security by implementing encrypted HTTPS protocols, ensuring safe data transfer between systems.
• Flexible Integration: Easily integrate with other software systems, PLCs, sensors, or cloud-based applications to create a fully interconnected industrial network.

Robust Testing with PLCsimAdvanced and C# Simulations

Our advanced testing solutions also include the use of PLCsimAdvanced and C# simulations to rigorously validate the behaviour and performance of your automation systems. By leveraging these tools, we simulate complex processes, control loops and system interactions to ensure that your software performs as expected in all conditions.

• Comprehensive Process Simulation: PLCsimAdvanced allows us to simulate real-time PLC operations, enabling detailed testing of logic and control strategies in a virtual environment.
• C# Simulations for Extended Functionality: Through advanced C# programming, we create complex simulations that test the full range of system behaviour, from communication protocols to control logic, ensuring that the system meets all requirements.
• Testing Real-World Scenarios: Both PLCsimAdvanced and C# simulations provide the ability to test your system against real-world operational scenarios, ensuring that your software will perform reliably when deployed in live environments.

Openness Enabled Through Advanced C# Programming

Our software solutions are designed with openness and flexibility in mind. Using advanced C# programming, we enable deeper integration and customization, allowing you to tailor the system to your specific requirements. This openness not only enhances system functionality but also provides the ability to adapt and extend the software in the future.

• Customizable Code Base: With advanced C# programming, we offer a flexible and adaptable code base that can be modified to meet your evolving needs.
• Extensive API Support: Our software includes APIs for further integration with other systems and devices, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of technologies and platforms.
• Future-Proof Design: The openness of our solution ensures that your system can evolve with the technology landscape, allowing for easy updates and feature additions without significant redevelopment efforts.
