KW-Software – Technology for Automation Leaders
KW-Software, a Phoenix Contact company, is the worldwide leading supplier of software technology for industrial control and automation solutions.
We are the specialist for the integration of
technology into your automation devices and solutions.
Our aim is to offer customers a decisive competitive edge with leading technologies. The continuous further development of the products and services is self-evident for KW-Software.
IEC 61131
Our IEC 61131 software components range from simple parameterization of small controls or drives to freely programmable controls for mechanical and system engineering.
-
MULTIPROG
the leading IEC 61131 programming system for control applications in most diverse applications
-
ProConOS embedded CLR
the open and unified IEC 61131 PLC runtime system for varied automation tasks
SAFETY
KW-Software offers safe software components according to the IEC 61508 standard, ranging from the simple parameterization of the safety functionality of small controls or drives to freely programmable safety controls for mechanical and system engineering.
The safety-relevant software components are already certified completely manufacturer-independent and can thus be used immediately.
We are the first company providing a PLCopen-compliant IEC 61508 safety platform including all PLCopen function blocks as library.
-
SAFEPROG
the safe programming system for complex safe PLCs with integration into the non-safe area according to IEC 61508
-
SafeOS
the high performance and safety related runtime system
-
SAFECONF
safe configuration tool for intuitive and simple configuration of safety devices
-
SAFEGRID
the safe device parameterization tool for safe switching devices or safe small controller with predefined safety logic
PROFINET
KW-Software provides proven technology components for the fast and easy integration of PROFINET IO into automation devices and solutions – ready for certification. This enables you to develop your own PROFINET IO Controllers, PROFINET IO Devices and combined PROFINET IO Controllers/Devices.
In addition, we provide technology components for implementing safe communication via PROFINET.

.NET Engineering Software
Automation Framework is the development platform for the easy and fast development of own integrated .NET-based engineering tools. With Automation Framework you can create integrated and homogenous software applications for different engineering tasks in automation.
MULTIPROG 10 is based on Automation Framework. This means you can create automation tools modularly from a number of components. Programming according to IEC 61131 can be combined with other .NET-based tools, e.g. for configuration, parameterization, visualization and construction.
FDT/DTM
FieldDeviceXplorer (FDX) is the FDT tool made by KW-Software. The FDX is a frame application used for integrating standard DTMs for field devices from various manufacturers. It provides the interfaces between the DTM and the used fieldbus or the connected devices respectively and enables the interaction between device and engineering software.
-
FDX encapsulates the FDT specification in a .NET component. Thus, detailed FDT technology know how is not essential.
FDX is based on the Microsoft .NET technology. Due to the possibility to integrate DTMs as components, engineering and runtime components can be fully integrated into the automation solution.
