Development software ALBATROS

automationindustrial

Albatros is a development system for industrial automation logics, with trajectory generators that can interpolate several axes, up to 128. With this software you can configure machine groups and subgroups, combining each of them to the inputs (analog and digital sensors), outputs (analog and digital actuators), motor sources (analog and digital axes), but also logics, variables, arrays, matrices, counters, timers, along with the specific work functions, conveyed in GPL, an object-oriented automation language created by Tpa and our thirty years’ worth of experience. The user interface and help is available translated in ten languages: Italian, English, German, Chinese, French, Spanish, Czech, Russian, Dutch, and Polish. Albatros allows you to manage devices connected to different fieldbuses; it is also possible to have a mixed configuration of the fieldbuses available in the application. The fieldbuses the suite can manage are CANopen, EtherCAT, MECHATROLINK-II and GreenBUS 4.0, i.e. Tpa’s proprietary bus. Albatros can be installed on computer platforms equipped with Microsoft operating systems. Our application has two goals: acting as a development environment to configure the hardware environment and define the machine cycles; acting as a runtime environment to display the hardware device status and the graphical representation of the machine working (said representation is called “synoptics”). This peculiarity allows changing the logics at any given moment, even years after having developed the application, on any machine managed by Albatros, and testing them with all the integrated development tools.
