Design and development of real-time computing systems is the most
challenging and complex task that can be undertaken by a software
engineer. By its very nature, software for real-time systems makes
demands on analysis, design and testing techniques that are unknown
in other application areas.
Real-time Systems
are highly coupled to the external world. That is, real-time software
must respond to the problem domain (the real world) in a time frame
dictated by the problem domain. Because real-time software must operate
under rigorous performance constraints, software design is often driven
by hardware as well as software architecture, operating system characteristics
as well as application requirements, programming language vagaries
as well as design issues.
We specialized
in PC based real-time industrial control software development i.e
Industrial Process Automation Software. Most of the Manufacturing
companies, as they are facing the subtle market competitions requires
lot many things need to be precise and accurate and most importantly
reliable.
We
believe that:
- Standard PCs will replace PLC based systems in many areas of industrial
control;
- Usage of Object Oriented programming languages will result in
more efficient and reusable control software than "ladder logic"
type programs;
- Open source software is more advantageous to both end users and
developers than proprietary software.
e-Zest has developed the Process Automation software to be implemented
in India based manufacturing companies like medisystems, Furnace-Fabrica,
Jadhao Gears etc.
Quality Aspect is turning out one of the niche area which most of
the companies are looking for. That's why different certification
Authorities like ISO and ASTM and ANSI are holding their grounds firm.
The Automation software made by e-Zest comply these standards and
hence in effect enhances the Manufacturer's reliability. The software
made for checking the Quality of the Manufactured product is the most
favored product of e-Zest.
The process automation system includes the LADDER Programming for
PLC and interfacing of Microcontrollers and PLCs with PC.
The monitoring and controlling of real-time industry parameters such
as Temperature, Humidity, fire, pressure, force and other physical
and electronic parameters can be done. Data Acquisition by specialized
ADC cards from vendors like Data-Translation and controlling logic
written in C, C++ and Delphi helps making the impulse responsive system
more reliable.
The Framework for Such PC interface software is already developed
by e-Zest, which is extensively applicable to many manufacturing companies.
The Framework includes the PLC/Microcontroller interaction over the
Serial port using MODBUS / RS232 / RS485 protocols. The same system
framework is made extensible for a Network through the Socket implementation.
