Function
(continued)
SIMOTION IT Virtual Machine
SIMOTION controllers have a Java runtime environment (Virtual
Machine) integrated in their runtime system. Use of this function
is licensed through the SIMOTION IT Virtual Machine license.
Java applications can be executed on a SIMOTION controller
with SIMOTION IT Virtual Machine. This allows you to develop
your own programs and concepts for commissioning, service
and preventative maintenance.
The programs can be created with the standard development
tools that are available on the market, such as Eclipse or
NetBeans. When they have been created, the programs can be
downloaded into the SIMOTION controller online. There is no
dependency on SIMOTION SCOUT.
All Java applications on the SIMOTION controller are executed
in asynchronous tasks in the SIMOTION task system, not in real-
time tasks.
The Java environment provides an interface (API) to the
SIMOTION runtime system over special system functions. The
following functions are available:
•
Read and write access to the SIMOTION variables
•
Read and write access to the non-volatile memory (NVRAM)
•
Use of system functions (functions of the technology objects)
•
Use of standard Java classes in the device
(file access, network functions, string functions, etc.)
•
Creation of servlets
Servlets are ideal for implementing user-specific interaction
between the controller and a specific web application.
