Decision Table Editor PMS-DT2

The PMS Decision Table Editor DT2 enables the graphical programmming of industrial controllers in decision tables. The editor creates automatically real time C code or an IL code, which is functional identical to the actual decision table.
 
The decision table editor is basically a table editor. Rules, conditions and actions are written in columns and rows like in MS-Excel. Problem solutions can now directly be edited and documented in decision tables. To ease and speed up the work a number of improvements are implemented in relation to MS-Excel.
 
When you save your decision table program, DT2 will automatically generate a realtime C Code. The in- and outputs of the decision table will be input parameters and return values of the C Function. Or the in- and outputs can be set to be global variables. Code efficiency is a big item for DT2. For example does a rule without an action make no sense, so DT2 will not generate a C code for this rule. And the code generation will be suppressed in an else column, when an action is missing. These are some examples on how DT2 generates a very compact and fast code.
 
In combination with the integrated development system PMS Universal Programming Studio a download of target software (EXE, Intel-Hex or Motorola S record) to the target system is possible, when the PMS StandOS operating system is available on the target. The target software can then be started and stopped in the target hardware and process data can be read and be written. A futher strong feature of the DT2 editor is the cycle step. At each cycle step a complete cycle step will run with all input and output drivers. Interfaces to Ethernet TCPIP, CAN and LIN are available.
