WinMOD configurations
Seamlessly connected with WinMOD couplings

WinMOD offers a powerful coupling concept for connecting real and virtual automation systems - flexible, manufacturer-neutral and future-proof.

Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL)

Real controllers can be connected directly to WinMOD - via manufacturer-independent fieldbus emulations, mostly without special hardware. Supported are: PROFINET, PROFIBUS, INTERBUS, Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT. This allows you to test real hardware in interaction with virtual models in real time, including SAFETY and acyclic telegram traffic.

Software-in-the-Loop (SiL)

WinMOD supports coupling to PLC simulations from leading manufacturers, including: Siemens, Rockwell, B&R, Beckhoff, WAGO, Schneider Electric, Phoenix Contact, Beijer Elctronic, Moeller /Eaton, Bosch Rexroth. This enables the realistic simulation of complete control systems - without any physical hardware.

PLC manufacturer-specific couplings

For particularly deep integration with access to internal PLC signals, WinMOD offers special couplings for: Siemens, B&R, Beckhoff and Rockwell. These enable optimised communication, diagnostic functions and even closer integration with the engineering environment.

Network-based communication (TCP/IP & UDP/IP)

WinMOD also enables coupling via TCP/IP and UDP/IP - e.g. for connecting control systems, SCADA or MES applications. This makes it easy to integrate higher-level systems into the simulation.

Open system couplings: OPC UA & OPC DA

WinMOD supports OPC UA (Unified Architecture) and OPC DA (Classic Data Access) for the integration of open or higher-level systems. This enables standardised, platform-independent communication.

Coupling of individual Windows applications

Customised Windows applications can be connected directly to WinMOD via API interfaces. This allows you to flexibly integrate your own tools such as visualisations and test systems.

WinMOD couplings realise our WinMOD configurations high-performance and reliable, even with large amounts of data.
