UAG – Unity Application Generator

Unity Application Generator is an advanced design and generation software tool that integrates multiple PLCs and HMI/SCADA systems to provide an automation solution similar to a Distributed Control System.

• Structured Project Design - bridge from the process engineer to the control/automation designer (from the P&ID to the automation system).
• Capture and re-use of your best practices within application specific libraries that reduce the dependency on experts, enable standardization and increase software robustness.
• Single Database entry avoids duplicate effort and resulting errors.  Automatic Application Generation including the automatic configuration of networks in multidevice systems increases efficiency, improves software quality, speeds commissioning while simultaneously reducing project risk. 
• Integrated change tracking and automatic documentation generation reduces engineering effort and enables system validation.

UAG integrates best in class products from Schneider Electric and leading partners into an advanced automation platform based on standards including ISA-88, GAMP, IEC61131-3:
• Unity PLCs (Premium / Quantum/ M340)
• Leading HMI/SCADA systems
• Modbus TCP/IP communication
• OFS/OPC

• Lafarge, rapidly expands use of UAG to ensure deployment of its best practices.

• Reduced application and test effort of the system due to reusable objects.
• Faster design thus reduced total life cycle costs.
• Faster re-validation of the process design with the help of the change tracking system.
• Facilitation of validation effort for projects which must comply with government regulations.
• Significantly increased application software quality.
• Reduced time required for installation and commissioning.
UAG features for Process Engineers and Control Engineers

• To define a general modular layout of the process based on objects defined in the Physical Model of ISA S88.01 standard. 
• To configure his process objects by linking Unity Application Generator with other design tools like E-plan, AutoCAD, P&ID drawings.
• To analyse his resulting design.

• To build the distributed automation control architecture with PLCs, HMIs and networks.
• To assign the control logic to the objects the process engineer has defined.
• To generate the control logic for the PLC and the HMI from the process design including alarms, trending, archiving, etc.
• To provide a single logical database by sharing the data between PLC and HMI tools as well as other design tools like Electrical CAD.
• To analyze his resulting design. To design, generate and implement incremental changes to the system
