What is new in WinMOD 7.0 ?
Dear Customer,
we are pleased to present to you the latest version of
our real-time simulation and software testing platform
WinMOD 7.0.
In recent years, much functionality of WinMOD proved
stable, versatile and in fact ahead of its time. Even so,
several new developments were incorporated,
concerning the coupling of automation systems, the
performance of add-ons, know-how protection, the
efficiency of workflows, etc.
A major trend shows that in several branches WinMOD
becomes integral to over-all project performance. For
this purpose WinMOD provides new means for
integration into the over-all data flow.
Furthermore, WinMOD 7.0 runs completely on
Windows 7, including all Configurations and Add-Ons.
We are now glad to show you the new features in more
detail in the following presentation.
Yours,

WinMOD System Platform Version 7.0
The Major Lines of Development
The WinMOD System Platform
Mewes & Partner
Page 1
WinMOD simulates real installations and
machines from the perspective of the
automation system.
WinMOD has the same interface to the
automation system as the real installation.
Thus it can reproduce the behavior of the
installation in a way so that both, the
simulation and the reality, show the same
appearance.
For this purpose, WinMOD can interface with
practically all market available automation
system. It has extraordinary real-time
performance, is easy to handle and can be
learned in short time.
Real
Installation
Virtual
Installation
This makes WinMOD an ideal tool for:
- software testing
- virtual commissioning
- training simulators
- optimizing operation procedures
- optimizing installation
- education
- presentation
- etc.
Quo Vadis
?
WinMOD started as a tool for testing automation systems, used by
PLC programmers for efficiently testing without the real installation.
The concept was adopted by operating companies for Factory
Acceptance Tests (FAT), what strongly shortens commissioning.
FAT, Virtual
Commissioning
Maintenance,
Training
As a result, many companies use WinMOD as an integral part of
overall project performance. Hence, the usages of WinMOD are
embedded into several engineering processes.
Proof of
Concept,
Planning
Continuous
Software
Testing
FAT, Virtual
Commissioning,
Training
WinMOD provides various open interfaces, exports and imports, and
fluently integrates with various real time systems. The extended
usages and the interleaved usage throughout the whole project
performance is now supported by functionality for planning, extensive
data exchange with engineering data bases, etc. This reflects the
strategic importance that WinMOD gains in over all project
performance.
More Simulation for Less Mouse-Clicks
FAT
The FATs - that test mostly IO-behaviour - were extended to complete
commissioning procedures for automation systems. The resulting
virtual WinMOD Installations enable complete tests of all operating
sequences of the real installation. Deeper process modelling and the
introduction of 3D complemented the usage for simulator training for
operators and maintenance personnel. Today, WinMOD Installations
can accompany the real installation throughout its further life-cycle.

Optimization
Efficiency is a key qualification. For this reason functions were
optimized, parameters values are proposed, default values are set
according to context, etc. Workflows that were performed stepwise
and manually can now be configured and executed automatically.
Protection of Know-how
WinMOD users provide simulation components and complete models
to each other. Since these often contain considerable know-how,
Components, Simulation Files and complete Projects can be protected
by licenses.
Windows 7
The new release of WinMOD 7.0 is running also on Windows 7.
Back to the roots ?
. . . WinMOD 1 was an in-house tool of Mewes & Partner, developed
for internal software testing. Others were interested in using it, it was
marketed, and it was successful since it was a tool from practitioners
for practitioners. This basic usage is still the core and it is still simple
and fast. But today's WinMOD 7.0 provides also much more . . .

Complete Operands
Automatic Completion of Operands for
Parameters and State Variables
Mewes & Partner
Page 6
In addition to Automation System (AS) input
and output signals, the simulated
components in WinMOD often provide
further signals, for example for
parameterization and state indication.
Operands for these additional signals can
now be created automatically by means of
the function Complete Operands.
Automatically
add Operands for
Parameters and States
The symbols for the Operands can be
composed flexibly from several component
and signal attributes.
advantages:
fast engineering
consistent and correct naming
basis for further mechanisms
Complete Operands
Connection of Simulation Levels
Mewes & Partner
Page 7
Corresponding components in different
simulation levels are automatically
connected with each other.
This is achieved by the new function
Complete Operands in combination with
suitable naming conventions.
For example: The drive of pump P1 is a bus
device connected to the controller-IOs. It
outputs a number-of-turns signal "P1.$>n"
which is an input to the material flow
simulation of P1 causing material flow
"$Q_in" to "$Q_out".

As the inverse to Complete Operands, the
function Remove Operands is introduced.
This new function does not delete the
Operands from the project, it only removes
them from the selected Components and
Simulation Elements.
Typical usage are:
• preparing re-creating all connections
• creating patterns for copying
• creating templates

WinMOD
1) creating the Engineering Lists from
installation data, e.g. the controller signal list,
2) creating the Components in WinMOD by
importing them with the EngineeringAssistance, and working on them.
3) exporting the modified Components with
the Reverse EngineeringAssistance and
modifying them in the lists format.
Re-import with step 2.

WinMOD contains various engineering data.
Many of them are managed in engineering
data bases and then imported to WinMOD
for testing.
Now an increasing number of customers
request to modify engineering data also in
WinMOD and to re-integrate the changes to
the engineering data bases.
As a goal it should be possible to modify the
data wherever this is convenient with
subsequent update of the other data base.

Since the introduction of the
EngineeringAssistance the variety of
applications and the extend of usages
grew considerably.
Mewes & Partner
While the first usages created single new
files, today's usages may create a multitude
of files with dedicated purposes.
Therefore the need arose to direct the
generated content directly into the target
files. Thereby the created content of existing
files is directly replaced and completed.
This workflow is in many cases faster and
allows to preserve file contents that is to be
maintained.
The replacement and completion of exiting
files is option-controlled.

While the Operand columns used by the
EngineeringAssistance were initially
restricted to the ones required, now all
possible Operand columns can be used.
This is also advantageous for the RoundLoad in connection with the Reverse
EngineeringAssistance, since it allows to
pass and hold more engineering data in
WinMOD.
Please note that also the 5 additional
Operand columns can be use for the same
purpose.

Content Licenses
Licensing Components and Component Libraries
Mewes & Partner
Page 17
With the extended usages of WinMOD and
with the growing simulation depth and
simulation accuracy, the know-how
expressed in WinMOD increases
considerably.
For this reasons users requested further
mechanisms for know-how protection.
In addition to the available methods,
WinMOD 7.0 enables licensing simulation
content by users on the level of WinMOD
Dongles.
The finest resolution for licensing is the
content of WinMOD Components. This is in
especially valuable for licensing WinMOD
Component Libraries.

Licensing Simulation Files
Mewes & Partner
Page 18
Licensing complete Simulation Files
allows to protect know-how in the content of
the Simulation Files.
The licensing mechanism can be flexibly
combined with other protective measures,
for example:
• the layers can be set to invisible, then the
complete content is invisible, but can be
executed,
• some layers are set to visible, then certain
information is hidden while other
information is visible.
• all layers are visible, then everything can
be seen, but not modified.

Please note that the protective levels
Project, Simulation File and Component can
be licensed completely independent from
each other and can be freely combined.
For example, the project may be licensed, but
some of the simulation file are open for own
adaptations. Also the Components originating
from some Component Libraries may be
protected, while others may be deliberately
modified.

Searching and Replacing
Search with Exact Match
Mewes & Partner
Page 20
When searching for items by test strings, the
result included items whose strings included
the search string.
Now, the new option match entire field
context enables to restrict the search
results to items with strings with exact
match with the search string.
This feature is useful, for example, when
replacing Macros of a given type. The
search result for the type shows only Macros
with exactly this type.
NEW !
until now
advantages:
more selective searching
faster engineering
Replace Macro Content with
automatic Macro Name
Mewes & Partner
Page 21
The function "Replace Macro Content" is
most of the time used to replace a Macro
with a new version of the same Macro
Type.
For this reason, the Macro Type is
automatically inserted into the dialog for
opening the Macro File, if the type is unique.
This saves time for typing and selecting the
macro type and prevents trouble arising
from accidentally typing or selecting a wrong
name.
until now
NEW !
advantages:
less typing and selecting
less errors
faster engineering
Warning for Incomplete Replacing
Mewes & Partner
Page 22
Replacing Macros and Components is not
performed, when they are in running
simulation files, on non-editable layers, etc.
Until today this took place without
notification what may lead to a nonconsistent system and to irritation for the
user.
Now Replace Macro Content checks if all
Macros or Components can be replaced and,
if not, asks for a confirmation.
NEW !
advantages:
increased consistency
less errors
internal Analog Formats
Naming Convention for Internal Analog Formats
Default Internal Analog Formats
Mewes & Partner
Page 23
In order to increase the readability of names
of Internal Analog Formats, the naming
convention for physical and engineering
units was developed*.
The names of the default Internal Analog
Formats for 0 to 100 % and -100 to 100 %
now follow this convention.
NEW !
advantages:
clear organization
good readability
* The naming convention for physical and engineering units
can be found in the manual of the System Software.

Dragging-out Signal Elements with Analog Format
Mewes & Partner
Page 24
When Signal Elements are created by dragand-dropping from a component input or
output (hold Alt-key pressed), a default
format in percent was assigned to the
graphical wiring.
NEW !
Now, the format defined for the operand of
the input or output inside of the macro is
assigned also to the graphical wiring.
This is in the majority of cases the natural
format used for this type of signal.
