Description

SILworX provides an intuitive user interface for programming and configuring HIMA's safety-related controllers while also facilitating error diagnostics. This streamlined process minimizes user mistakes and accelerates engineering, allowing for quicker commissioning of your safety system and immediate adaptation to evolving requirements. As a component of the HIMA Smart Safety Platform, the engineering tool adheres to current standards such as OPC UA (Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture). With its robust API, the software seamlessly integrates into nearly any system environment. It also supports automated testing and version management via external tools, enabling easy comparisons of logics and visibility of changes. Additionally, with the SILworX COMPARATOR PLUS, project modifications can be executed swiftly and clearly. This feature enables users to visually and tabularly compare the logic of two different programs, functions, or function blocks (Programming Organization Units), presenting the alterations in a detailed manner. This capability not only enhances clarity but also fosters a more efficient workflow for engineers involved in safety systems.
