Bcode projects

Technical projects, tools and practical engineering solutions.

This page presents work areas in priority order: first PLC programming and industrial machine startup, then functional safety with B&R X20 Safety and SISTEMA calculations, then electrical engineering, followed by testing, software tools, mobile automation and diagnostics.

B&R

primary automation platform

main areas: automation, electrical engineering, software tools

SLO / EN / DE

technical communication and documentation

PLC programming

PLC programming, visualizations and startup of industrial machines

Programming and commissioning of special industrial machines where clear manual modes, automatic sequences, safety conditions, alarms, diagnostics and integrated machine visualizations are important. Examples include elevators, FOUP washer systems and other custom machines.

Result: A control program that is clear during startup, useful for the operator and suitable for later changes or service.

Functional safety

B&R X20 Safety, openSAFETY and SISTEMA calculations

Implementation of safety functions for industrial machines: safe inputs/outputs, E-stop, doors, light curtains, enables, safety logic and SISTEMA calculations for documented Performance Level evaluation.

Result: A safety solution that is clear in the program, verifiable during commissioning and supported by documentation and SISTEMA calculation.

TestOS

BDD testing platform for PLC systems

TestOS connects requirements, test cases, execution and reporting for automation projects. It is intended for PLC logic checks, regression testing, variable testing and support during control cabinet wiring checks.

Result: More repeatable testing, better traceability and faster fault detection after program changes.

B&R GUI Converter

VC4 to mappView converter

A Python-based tool with a graphical interface that supports migration of existing B&R VC4 visualizations to mappView structure. The goal is less manual work and better consistency of files, names, bindings and references.

Result: Faster preparation of a base mappView structure for further work in Automation Studio.
