What is included?

The Control Design Platform provides a framework to develop, test, simulate and operate advanced control applications. To install a complete developer workstation you need:

• CDP Developer
• Visual C++
• Additional target operating systems

CDP Developer includes:

• CDP C++ libraries
• CDP C++ header files
• CDP Developer code generator
• System Manual
• Programmers Manual
• CDP Code Documentation
• CDPBrowser system monitor
• CDPFilemanager
• Controller set-up wizard
• Network set-up wizard
• Run-time license key generator
• Signal Generator
• Demo applications
• Tutorial application
• IOServer interfaces

• Microsoft Visual C++ (Licensed or free Express edition)
• Additional target operating systems

Development process

Create C++ code framework using CDP Developer:

• Create new project
• Create new library
• Create new component
• Add members: Signals, parameters, alarms
• Add states and transitions

Continue in Visual C++:

• Add detailed C++ code in member methods
• Compile
• Test run and debug

CDP tools assist testing:

• Find your application in CDPBrowser
• Watch signals in real-time

Integration

The CDP architecture with IOServer interface components maps devices and protocols in to CDP. This makes it possible to integrate different technologies using CDP as connection points.

Re-use existing code

You can re-use existing C/C++ code by creating CDP components and put your code inside.

CDP Architecture

What is included?

The CDP Operation package includes:

• Operation Manual
• System Manual
• CDPBrowser - CDP Operation version
• CDPFilemanager
• Controller set-up wizard
• Network set-up wizard
• Run-time license key generator
• Signal Generator
• Demo applications

Monitoring and making adjustments

The CDPBrowser gives instant access to signals and settings.

Real-time monitoring of signals makes it possible to observe exactly what is happening in your control system, while tuning and making adjustments:

• Attach laptop computer to control network on Ethernet
• Open CDPBrowser
• Find component in tree view
• Add all signals of interest to graphical real-time plot
• Watch the signals while changing the parameter until desired behavior is achieved

Easier maintenance

Using CDP it is sufficient for service and operation personnel to learn only one set of tools and methods.

All signals and settings are easily accessible using the same CDP Operation software tools.

It is easy to get an overview of unfamiliar applications, because everything is accessible using the same tools.
