straton Language Conversion

The straton PLC is equipped with a very convenient and user-oriented language conversion tool. Of course, you can program your PLC tasks in your favorite language. But your customer assumes that he can choose the programming language for the delivered equipment. No problem with straton: With one mouse click, your work is translated to the desired target language. No matter which source language was selected, no matter which target language is desired.

This functionality can be very helpful, not only for the customer with their particular demands, but also in other situations. For example, when you analyze code written by someone else, you can change to a language that is easier to read.

Or think of programming: Suppose you know the basics for writing certain sequences only in one language (e.g. FOR-loop in ST), but you have to deliver the solution in a different language (e.g. IL). Then you can simply write the FOR-loop in ST, translate it to IL and copy the result into the actual IL program.

The straton developers came up with a nice additional feature: In case you have already translated your program and you want to return to the source language, you can easily do just that. By clicking on the “Undo” button, the exact state as it was before the translation is recovered. While other systems apply the translation algorithm a second time, straton remembers and delivers the exact original state.
