straton 9.2 is out now

With straton 9.2, we want to offer all our users a new experience for programming automation programs. We put at your disposal our experience and the know-how of our expert support throughout your projects – from the simplest to the most complex. Now, we’ve revisited straton to improve communication between different devices and make it easier to program automatic processes and to provide secure solutions, particularly through SIL 2 certification.

Overview of straton 9.2 main enhancements

Simplified communication

The list of communication protocols supported by straton has been enhanced. In order to ensure interoperability, flexibility, and answer new market requirements, we have added new drivers and new communication protocols such as EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP scanner, OPC UA, and MVB (straton includes a configuration tool and a driver for exchanging data).

Simplify programming

We have made a number of tweaks to the development environment to make application management easier and speed up the development process itself. One of the key new features is the Find in Files module, which identifies each time a variable is linked within a program to help you find every step where the variable is used. The Program Scheduling module significantly improves how programs’ cycle calls are visualized, giving the user the option to view cycles that are called simultaneously. Finally, the UML Like call graph shows the relationships between calls from one program to another.

SIL 2: security certification

Our straton software is designed to the IEC-61508-3 standard so that our users can benefit from an SIL-capable component and full documentation of the development cycle. This certification ensures better quality of documentation, risk analysis including potential risks and cause analysis, rigorous monitoring for the development cycle (covering the steps that need to be followed in order to obtain certification) and a security manual showing how to safely use the software.
