PAL simplify this phase by providing function blocks

to cover the majority of propel tasks. Testing Coding
Service
Tool
PAL benefits – to save time during designing phase:
 PAL blocks have ready defined & described I/Os

 PAL blocks consit of proven in use validated routines
 PAL blocks provide also status messages
 PAL blocks can be linked fast and easily to each other
 PAL blocks work perfectly w. PLUS+1 compliance blocks

PAL – Coding value
Document
ation Design
PAL simplify this phase by providing already written

source code as function blocks. Testing Coding
Service
Tool
PAL benefits – to save time during coding phase:
 PAL blocks already include necessary „components“

 PAL blocks easy to find in library – group symbols
 PAL blocks have high „look-and-feel“ factor
 PAL blocks have ready defined parameters & check-points
 PAL blocks also provide safety manual & prog.-guide

PAL – Service Tool value
Document
ation
Design
PAL shorten’s this phase by providing ready service

screens for each function block. Testing Coding
Service
Tool
PAL benefits – to save time during service tool phase:
 Service screens for each function block available

 Reduction of manual work for creating service screen
 Reduces risk of errors and bugs by pre-tested screens
 Standard screen functions e.g. navigation buttons,
status and fault data etc.

PAL simplify this phase by providing pre-tested

function blocks. Testing Coding
Service
Tool
PAL benefits – to save time during testing phase:
 PAL blocks are already pre-tested and qualified

 Service screens are fully tested (incl. visual inspection)
 Easy system testing by standardized naming of
diagnostic signals

PAL – Documentation value
Document
ation Design
PAL simplify this phase by providing user manuals

snippets of documentation for each function block. Testing Coding
Service
Tool
PAL benefits – to save time during documentation phase:
 Each snippet provides high flexibility by easy „copy-and-

paste“ and keeping same design and structure
 Each snippet incl. start-up & tuning chapter
 Increase motivation of software engineers – PAL is your
„Ghostwriter“.

PAL – Benefits for your Business
Your company  your business  your benefit!
• …with PAL it is easier to step into the software

business for propel software solutions.
• …PAL supports the process to lift you from a level of

a hardware to a propel systems provider.
• …PAL reduces the duration of

your project  faster to market!
