Hi everyone,
I am a newbie in here. I am associated with a rail integrator company in Finland, which is specialized in providing EN 50126/50128/50129 SIL 4 solutions in railway signalling and interlocking. We have been using HIMA PLCs (HIMax and HIMatrix), HIMA's proprietary OS (of which I have no idea about) and HIMA's software platform SILworX for our applications. All of these are SIL 4 certified. Although we are pretty satisfied with HIMA's performances till now, we are also looking for some alternative solutions which are open. We are looking at the following possibilities:
Hardware: Artesyn's ControlSafe Platform / MEN Mikro Gmbh's MH50C
OS: VxWorks/QNX/PikeOS/Integrity
IDE: SCADE (Ansys), Flexisafe (Infoteam), Prover
I would love to have some opinions on these. Which ones would be better? Or any other alternatives, especially on software platforms (Matlab, Codesys?)
Thanks in advance!
