What is new in WinMOD 7.0 ?
Dear Customer,
we are pleased to present to you the latest version of
our real-time simulation and software testing platform
WinMOD 7.0.
In recent years, much functionality of WinMOD proved
stable, versatile and in fact ahead of its time. Even so,
several new developments were incorporated,
concerning the coupling of automation systems, the
performance of add-ons, know-how protection, the
efficiency of workflows, etc.
A major trend shows that in several branches WinMOD
becomes integral to over-all project performance. For
this purpose WinMOD provides new means for
integration into the over-all data flow.
Furthermore, WinMOD 7.0 runs completely on
Windows 7, including all Configurations and Add-Ons.
We are now glad to show you the new features in more
detail in the following presentation.
Yours,

WinMOD simulates real installations and
machines from the perspective of the
automation system.
WinMOD has the same interface to the
automation system as the real installation.
Thus it can reproduce the behavior of the
installation in a way so that both, the
simulation and the reality, show the same
appearance.
For this purpose, WinMOD can interface with
practically all market available automation
system. It has extraordinary real-time
performance, is easy to handle and can be
learned in short time.

The Major Lines of Development
Quo Vadis
?
WinMOD started as a tool for testing automation systems, used by
PLC programmers for efficiently testing without the real installation.
The concept was adopted by operating companies for Factory
Acceptance Tests (FAT), what strongly shortens commissioning.
FAT, Virtual
Commissioning
Maintenance,
Training
As a result, many companies use WinMOD as an integral part of
overall project performance. Hence, the usages of WinMOD are
embedded into several engineering processes.

FAT, Virtual
Commissioning,
Training
WinMOD provides various open interfaces, exports and imports, and
fluently integrates with various real time systems. The extended
usages and the interleaved usage throughout the whole project
performance is now supported by functionality for planning, extensive
data exchange with engineering data bases, etc. This reflects the
strategic importance that WinMOD gains in over all project
performance.
More Simulation for Less Mouse-Clicks
FAT
The FATs - that test mostly IO-behaviour - were extended to complete
commissioning procedures for automation systems. The resulting
virtual WinMOD Installations enable complete tests of all operating
sequences of the real installation. Deeper process modelling and the
introduction of 3D complemented the usage for simulator training for
operators and maintenance personnel. Today, WinMOD Installations
can accompany the real installation throughout its further life-cycle.

Optimization
Efficiency is a key qualification. For this reason functions were
optimized, parameters values are proposed, default values are set
according to context, etc. Workflows that were performed stepwise
and manually can now be configured and executed automatically.
Protection of Know-how
WinMOD users provide simulation components and complete models
to each other. Since these often contain considerable know-how,
Components, Simulation Files and complete Projects can be protected
by licenses.
Windows 7
The new release of WinMOD 7.0 is running also on Windows 7.
Back to the roots ?
. . . WinMOD 1 was an in-house tool of Mewes & Partner, developed
for internal software testing. Others were interested in using it, it was
marketed, and it was successful since it was a tool from practitioners
for practitioners. This basic usage is still the core and it is still simple
and fast. But today's WinMOD 7.0 provides also much more . . .

With the extended usages of WinMOD and
with the growing simulation depth and
simulation accuracy, the know-how
expressed in WinMOD increases
considerably.
For this reasons users requested further
mechanisms for know-how protection.
In addition to the available methods,
WinMOD 7.0 enables licensing simulation
content by users on the level of WinMOD
Dongles.
The finest resolution for licensing is the
content of WinMOD Components. This is in
especially valuable for licensing WinMOD
Component Libraries.

The licensing mechanism can be flexibly
combined with other protective measures,
for example:
• the layers can be set to invisible, then the
complete content is invisible, but can be
executed,
• some layers are set to visible, then certain
information is hidden while other
information is visible.
• all layers are visible, then everything can
be seen, but not modified.

SIMLINE Layouter 7.0 – Installation Data Base
Integrated
Connection Point System
• Based on parameterizable SIMLINE
Libraries installations for material flow can
be generated from a table oriented data
base. This data base is called the
SIMLINE Layouter.
• In the SIMLINE Layouter, conveyor
elements are parameterized for size,
position, orientation and sensors as given
by the real installation. From these data,
the SIMLINE Layout is generated.
• An integrated system for connection
points of the SIMLINE Library Elements
enables fast and efficient creation even of
large installations.
• The dynamic user interface supports
selection and parameterization of
elements.

SIMLINE Generator 7.0 with Integrated Rule System
• The new SIMLINE Generator 7.0
extensively supports rule based
parameterization of the WinMOD to
SIMLINE signal coupling.
• By combination of rule systems and
filters for components, signals and sensor
object in SIMLINE, and automatic "fine
tuning" is enabled even for complex
installations.
• The rule systems can be edited by
integrated functions directly in the
generator.
• This includes, for example, rule systems
like WinMOD Interface Converter for
signal adaptation, WinMOD Parameter
Description for sensor orientation or
WinMOD Hint Filter for 3D-Object
identification.
Integrated System of Rules,
for e.g. orientation of sensors

For SIMATIC S7/ PCS7 Simulation PLCSIM
For SIMATIC PLCSIM version V5.4-SP3, PLCSIM has
multi-instance ability. The WinMOD Configuration
A750 supports now an additional direct access to the
periphery address areas, flags, data blocks and the
multi-instance ability from PLCSIM.
WinMOD Configuration A750 ST (standard)
WinMOD coupling to a PLCSIM-instance with:
read/write modus of the with PLCSIM simulated
-S7-I/O-memory areas
-S7-I/O-periphery areas (new)
-S7-flags (new)
-S7-data blocks (new)
WinMOD Configuration A750 XT (extended) (new)
WinMOD coupling to PLCSIM-multi-instances
(currently up to 8) with:
read/write modus of the with PLCSIM simulated
- S7-I/O-memory areas
- S7-I/O-periphery areas (new)
- S7-flags (new)
- S7-data blocks (new)
Advantages:
With the system coupling between WinMOD and
SIMATIC S7 Simulation PLCSIM it is possible to
realize cost-efficient test- and training simulations.

For all Automation Systems (AS)
with PROFINET IO-Master
With WinMOD Configuration X700 any PROFINET IOparticipant can be simulated (emulated) and can be
connected to any automation system (AS) with
PROFINET IO-controller.
The PROFINET devices that are to be simulated are
configured in the WinMOD PROFINET Configurator
manually or automatically online.
For any AS-Controller mit PROFINET IO
PCI
PROFINET IO
Ethernet standard interface
simulated PROFINET IO devices
PLC – hardware configuration
with different Profinet IO-Devices
For selected automation systems, additional functions
for workflow optimisation of signal list import and
export can be developed and provided.
one Variant (AS-neutral, licensable):
- cyclic IO device emulation (up to 254)
Usage:
Support for development and test of single AS
program functions and complete AS programs,
independent from a correctly planned IO-periphery.
No special is hardware required.
The PROFINET-Emulation is executed by an
especially developed Windows kernel application. The
Ethernet network hardware has to be approved by
Mewes & Partner. Typically a standard Ethernet
network card can be used.
