The power of good control software only really shows itself in practice. At Gerbin Control, we develop software that not only controls systems, but also optimizes, visualizes and monitors them. See how our software solutions are used in a variety of applications.
Years of experience in the field of industrial automation
Structured software development for industrial plants
Reliable software starts with a well-thought-out structure. At Gerbin Control, we develop PLC, HMI and SCADA software according to international standards, such as IEC 61131-3 and S88. Our approach focuses on safety, maintainability and integration with the electrical installation.
Through modular programming and active testing, we provide stable controllers that are easy to modify and maintain, even in the long term.
Programming according to IEC 61131-3 and S88
Our PLC software is structured according to the IEC 61131-3 standard, with recognizable programming languages such as Structured Text and Function Block Diagram. For batch and process-oriented systems, we use the S88 structure. This ensures clear software modules, reusability and efficient error detection.
Testing, validation and optimization
Before delivery, each software module is functionally tested within a digital or physical test setup. This includes simulations, I/O tests and communication validations. By testing for functionality, failure behavior and restartability, we deliver a robust software system that is immediately deployable in the field.
Maintenance and adaptability in practice
Our software is modular and provided with clear commentary rules and coding. This makes subsequent adaptations easy, for example when expanding an installation or making process changes. Thanks to the structured design, faults can be analyzed more quickly and remote support can be carried out efficiently.
