ControlBuild is a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tool with a large quantity of modules and functionalities. Each module is dedicated to specific tasks. Each module is well linked and perfectly homogenous. ControlBuild supports project management, applications, libraries and multiple users access rights. Its editors enable the description of components, functions and equipments using the IEC 61131-3 languages (SFC, LD, FBD & ST) and Electrical Schematic type languages. ControlBuild makes possible the simulation of control functions (PLC execution) and hardware configuration (Factory Environment):

• A well structured set of libraries is available, making it easy for programmers in terms of program structure and saving time (Tool-boxes, Filters, Equipments with Electro-mechanical behaviour,...).
• A documentation generator with customization (logo, document models,...) is provided in order to produce different levels of documentation for each project.
• Synoptic, Alarm Manager, Scenarios and Historic Event Editors provide the ability for MMI definition or prototyping, graphical views, consoles, tests scripts and diagnostics functions. ControlBuild enables hardware configuration customization, application distribution on several targets, assignment to physical I/Os, serial links and fielding networks of the hardware architecture. It then generates the code for dedicated targets. Targeted application monitoring is also available with online communication and download modules. I/O (National Instruments, Advantech,...), serial links (standard like Modbus or specific: HPTS,...) and Networks or Fieldbus cards (Applicom, Hirshman, Hilscher, Beckhoff for MVB, CAN, World FIP, TCP/IP, OPC,...) communication modules are available to connect ControlBuild HIL Test Benches to targets for integration tests and qualification.
