Programming in the web browser
q4Logix is a full graphical development environment for IEC61131 applications. It is designed for high-level function block programming based on function blocks from the respective hard- and software supplier. These function blocks can be written in C or assembler language.
q4Logix is a client/server application running in the web browser. Thereby the browser is not only used as a passive medium to display data, but to be used as an active medium to edit and generate data.
The application runs smoothly and without problems under unfavourable web infrastructure conditions or via mobile access, since communication demand between server and client is reduced to a minimum.
The web application is based on international technology standards and can be smoothly integrated into existing web applications. In addition, the product can be easily adapted to the look & feel of individual OEM web sites.
Online debugger
For diagnostics purposes an integrated online debugger is available. The debugger runs like the entire application in the web browser.
