M2M Control IDE Development Environment (IEC 61131-3)

The Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for the M2M Control "Pro Line" modules is an easy-to-use program for all aspects involved in the development of applications. The IDE contains a broad range of features such as project control, comprehensive online help, built-in syntax highlighting editor, code generating wizard, voice recorder, etc.

The programs are written in VPL. The VPL language is a high-level language compliant with the EN / IEC 61131-3 (ST) standard - which looks similar to Basic or Pascal, but there are big differences, which makes the VPL language very suitable for PLC applications. A built-in simulator enables complete simulation of all features on the Control Unit: GSM, GPRS, SMS messaging, GPS, analog / digital I/O etc.

A remote update feature allows the application developer to download new versions of a program, firmware or voice messages to a remote control unit, via a modem connection or GPRS. All of this features combined enables the user to cut development time down to a minimum.
