u REG
APPLICATION SOFTWARE
Brand new
u REG
controllers are provided by the manufacturer with complete control
software (accordingly to requirements stated in the purchase order) so that the device can be
quickly installed and put into service (→
APPLICATION ).
If changes in your project assumptions occur or there are operational reasons, it is possible to
replace the software in the base and application layers (→ section 6.2).
The latest firmware versions for basic bays in power system substations and typical industrial
applications (e.g. wind power plants, hydroelectric power stations) are published by the
manufacturer at
http://www.regulus.poznan.pl .
In order to implement or reload the control software in all
u REG
controller
reprogrammable components, the
u REG
utility program (supplied in a standard version
together with the purchase pack or available on the manufacturer’s website) must be used.
Regardless of standard applications for different purposes available on the Internet, it is
possible to design and describe from scratch new customized applications or modify the
existing ones. For these purposes, and in order to develop standard applications,
REGULUS
has
devised a special solution:
Utility Software System
Log CZIP
®
.
This comprehensive system is intended for the user to define formally the desired
application, using simple, but still unambiguous, descriptions in a graphic form. The description
elements are given as functional blocks (logic elements called
functors ) and their relations. The
functors represent general multi-process computations, whereas relations between such
elements refer to the sequence of events. The network, which is defined by means of functors
and relations, presents the whole algorithm in a clear manner; the network describes itself and
is comprehensive. There is a similarity to conventional logic networks with many features such
as propagation time, hazard and deadlock. Although programming the application in
LogCZIP’
is not free from traps, it provides incomparably quicker programming than the conventional
method, even is the application is complex and consists of many sheets.
Log CZIP
consists of many components. The most important ones include:

application project management system,

MDI graphic editor for application sheets,

interpretation-based syntax analyzer,

project compiler,

static debugger,

dynamic debugger,

configuration file generator to be used with
Monitor3
,

programmer.
