System Implementation
When a Functional Specification and Design have
been done for a system, IPACT's implementation will follow directly from
those documents. For example, with an SFC being implemented in a PLC in
"flat logic", there will be one coil for every step and every transition.
The coil names will be derived from the step names given in the documents.
The SFC logic will be rendered in a standardized format.
All of these things will make troubleshooting and subsequent modifications
easy. With an IPACT system, if modifications are desired at a later date,
it is not necessary for someone to read the PLC code and work hard at
attempting to understand what the programmer intended. The "forest" can be
grasped first by reading the functional, and then the "trees" in the code
will become clear, allowing the modifications to be made with relative ease.
Some projects do not require a complete Functional Specification and Design;
they might be just a matter of migrating existing functions to the latest
industry standard hardware and software. IPACT stays well abreast of
hardware and software developments in our areas of expertise, and has and
will continue to handle these types of migration projects as well.
