The phrase ".NET PLC driver" lead MicroCODE President and CEO, Tim McGuire, to INGEAR. According to McGuire, "The challenges MicroCODE, Inc. faced that caused the initial conversation with INGEAR were based in the fact that existing HMI products from Allen-Bradley, Siemens, and others, are closed systems. If you can't build your desired user interface with their canned controls you're basically out of luck. MicroCODE executives envisioned a very comprehensive Error Proofing system for General Motors that would require five (5) things: 1. Complete control for the graphical interface 2. Low cost 3. High Speed 4. Independence from a proprietary controls system 5. I/O flexibility
MicroCODE's unique challenges involved selling the Windows CE solutions with custom applications as a preferred solution within General Motors. While MicroCODE staff evaluated Allen- Bradley RSView SE, Siemens WinCE HMIs, and some OPC software solutions, the simplicity of building Visual C# .NET applications with INGEAR's drivers sold the company. The company purchased two (2) INGEAR.NET software titles: o NET.LOGIX Developer's License o NET.LOGIX Compact Framework McGuire discussed the benefits and quantifiable improvements did MicroCODE, Inc. experienced as a result of working with INGEAR commenting, "Proficiency with Windows CE, .NET applications integrated to a controls environment has opened opportunities for our company that were not there before, it has differentiate us from our competitors in this space. The drivers just work, as advertised, and their performance is excellent."
ABOUT MICROCODE MicroCODE designed and developed a Global Error Proofing (GEP) application for General Motors. The GEP Sequence (SPS/SVS) is a Windows CE application to support Sequencing Material and/ or Parts to the assembly line. GEP Sequence developed by MicroCODE reduced General Motors manufacturing costs while eliminating the need for RSLINX and CIMPLICITY. GEP Sequence application is now installed in over 20 GM manufacturing plants in the U.S, Canada, Europe and Korean partner plants..
