Price Model PlcGit
PlcGit has multiple functionalities
- PLC program backup and restore
- Check and merge differences between versions of the PLC software
- Manage PLC program code in a distributed development team
The PlcGit Products technical has two software parts
- The machine or plant part needs the communication to the PLC.
- The web and repository part.
The plant part need to be running in the real plant where the necessary security settings in the IT environment allows this. Mostly the PLC ports can be used in one building only. The repository part can run everywhere. In bigger environments this can be split to two systems or Docker containers. Standard environments are using the web
PlcGit can be installed all in one machine or distributed on multiple machines. Complex environments with multiple
production buildings and higher network security requirements will run the machine parts accessing the real PLC in each building, the git/gitlab part
often is hosted in the central company IT department.
Additionally not every installation will need the graphical merge tings. Backup and restore do not need them.
The base configuration with the browser is included in the license models with web, or this parts are hosted separatly. There are no extra
license costs for the basic backup/restore configuration and handling things.
In really big installations the web part can be distributed also. One machine will run the gitlab parts with the user management.
The file things can run another machine with big drives storing the data, possibly with a backup scheme.
This will not affect the license costs.
The gitlab and file parts can run as a cloud service, but this need not to be. Cost control and higher security is better running giltab on an machine in the location or the IT of the company.
Price model agents
The agent communicates with the PLC.
The license depends on the type of PLC series. PLC series are Siemens S7 1500 models, Siemens S7 300/400 models programmed with TIA Portal,
Siemens S7 300/400 programmed with the old Step7 software. Rockwell Compact Logics and Control Logics is another PLC model.
The price also will be affected by the amount of PLC an agent will handle.
An base license can be combined with various extensions for the PLC series and the amount of PLC.
For often used configuration complete license packets are offered.
Price model management console
The management central unit connect to the agents. The repositories are handled, thw web server offers the configuration,
checkouts and diff/merge functionalities.
There is one price for the basic management.
Price model diff and merge
Showing differences and merge functions are working independly from real PLC and management functions.
The price for this is once for each management consols.
Price model collaboration for creating one PLC program from multiple parts
Collaboration is for the creation of a PLC program for an individual PLC from multiple sources. Mostly a PLC program is created in the parts from multiple working teams, often the components are comming from multiple companies. The collecting of these parts need combining them, breate the necessary data basic definitions. This will give multiple hints, warnings or errors during this process. For prices of this functionality please ask us.
