In a PC-based machine control system, a standard operating system such as Windows support HMI and control software running on a PC platform, either a readily available commercial model or an industry hardened unit. PC architecture allows the system to seamlessly support a variety of third-party I/O, specialty motion control, machine vision, and field networks. This enables complete consolidated control of assembly lines and machinery on the shop floor as well as many other types of mechanical, electrical and electronic equipment. Generally available hardware and software PLCs offer a proprietary real-time extension that is limited in both features and support of real-time processing, with no add-on support for motion control and/or machine vision. KINGSTAR provides a fully-featured and integrated software PLC based on an open and accessible. KINGSTAR PLC also includes add-on or third-party components for and that are managed by a rich user interface for C programmers and non-developers alike. Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) from KINGSTAR provide cost-effective, real-time software embedded machine control for high-volume industrial environments.

Most other PLC solutions are flawed in navigation design and robustness of feature set, and deliver siloed real-time extensions that are incapable of interacting, executing or porting with third-party systems like. They do not provide a rich, intuitive user interface for both programmers and non-developers, and operations like kinematics can’t be developed in the common C language, but only using the vendor’s proprietary PLC language.
With KINGSTAR PLC you can. KINGSTAR is a complete industrial software package consisting of soft logic programming tools, a runtime execution engine, and custom development tools for automation control applications. KINGSTAR is an all-in-one, one-stop-shop PLC environment designed to turn any industrial computer into a high performance, yet inexpensive soft logic controller. Users can either choose all of KINGSTAR’s components or “plug-and-play” any of the platform components of their choosing.

The 'Assembly and Automation Technology 2017' exhibition took place at Thailand's BITEC this year. Showcased its Industrial PC and OPC UA communication module for PLC and PLC-S, which is a standard communication protocol for IoT (Internet of Things). As trends in manufacturing sites are rapidly changing with the advent of industry 4.0 and adoption of smart factory technology, CIMON Inc. Introduced its products and technology at this Assembly and Automation Technology 2017 exhibition for global manufacturing companies to take advantage of its products. In this exhibition, participants included some 330 companies from 27 countries from all over the world. CIMON OPC UA Standard communication protocol for IoT compatibility At this exhibition, CIMON demonstrated a positioning service that connects OPC UA to the servo motor.
This OPC UA communication module manufactured by CIMON is the only OPC UA module that has been developed in Korea, and is being supplied to companies worldwide to make factories smarter. OPC UA standard has been developed by manufacturers, users, and research agencies alike to ensure safe exchange of information between different systems, and will be a key technology in the manufacturing industry along with IoT. The picture below shows a communicating with a Mitsubishi robot through the OPC UA protocol and sending data to SCADA, which is a higher level software that also communicates with PLC. Once data is transmitted upwards, it is collected and analyzed by MES.
As more and more data is collected, they can be used for prediction and prevention purposes as patterns will be generated. CIMON UltimateAccess SCADA Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition also revealed that in the next software update, HTML 5 technology will be integrated into its product meaning that users will be able to remotely access, monitor, and control their factories/farms/buildings/airports/dams/ even from mobile or tablet devices. SCADA is a control system architecture that uses computers, networked data communications and graphical user interfaces for high-level process supervisory management, but uses other peripheral devices such as PLCs to communicate with sensors or machinery (robots).
CIMON IPC Industrial Panel Computer CIMON's IPC can endure harsh environmental conditions in manufacturing sites, and provide high performance and system stability by using Intel CPU and SSD. Moreover, with fan-less design and strong internal construction it provides a top level system stability.
Amongst many Japanese participants, CIMON was the sole participant in the field to showcase Korea's advanced technology, and local media and Manufacturing Expo conducted interviews with CIMON's representatives to discuss its smart factory solutions.
