Jetter AG is attending the Nuremberg-based SPS/IPC/DRIVES 2010 trade fair with a wealth of new hardware and software products under its belt, which in turn relieve the day-to-day work of automation specialists. For maximum performance applications, the new JetControl 970 shall take center stage for the first time. This controller is the ideal solution for fast processes combined with coordinated drives and simultaneous PC applications. Whereas the JX3-MIX expansion module has been developed for more compact, low-cost applications. It features 8 universal inputs/outputs, 3 analog inputs, 1 analog output and the option of controlling a stepper motor. The module is available in two different designs, either with or without a serial interface. What is more, the latest JetSym programming environment has now been expanded to incorporate even more diagnostics options and the auto-adaptive hardware manager. Even the SCADA tool, JetViewSoft, has undergone a face-lift. The tool has been fully redesigned and now provides object-oriented structures to create masks. Those attending the trade fair can visit Jetter AG at Booth 106 in Hall 7.

Jetter AG presented their solutions as mobile automation system provider at the fair IAA Commercial Vehicles. The company has been active in industrial automation for thirty years and the experience gained during this time is channeled directly into the development of control systems for mobile automation. For almost ten years Jetter AG has been supplying HMIs to renowned manufacturers of mobile machines. This has allowed the company to build up the necessary competence and expertise. Now, Jetter AG offers a well-coordinated system comprising of software and hardware for mobile applications. Each controller can be used as freely programmable standalone device, but can also be combined with a variety of peripheral modules.
The JetSym software development tool with the JetSym STX programming language is a powerful tool for efficient system programming. JetSym STX is a genuine high-level language offering the same possibilities as other languages, such as C++ or Java. Programmers who have a knowledge of structured text from the IEC 61131-3 standard, however, will also be able to work easily with JetSym STX, as it is an extension of the language of this standard.
Users wanting to implement graphic user interfaces can use Jetter's design tools JetViewSoft and ISO-Designer. The ISO Designer is a convenient design environment for creating masks with object-oriented structures that conform to the requirements of the ISO 11783 standard. This tool allows to create non-proprietary masks for virtual terminals (VTs) connected to the so-called ISO bus.

Jetter AG is celebrating their 30th anniversary this year. In 1980, Martin Jetter founded an “Office for Microelectronics”. Soon afterwards, the Process-PLC Technology was born and brought to the automation market. This new technology featured the easy-to-use and clear programming language SYMPAS. Compared with traditional programming languages used in industrial automation, such as FBD/LAD/STL, this new language represented a real revolution. At that time, SYMPAS, a plain-text, high-level language with multitasking capability, already featured the whole range of automation functions, such as axis positioning. Jetter AG achieved great publicity when they introduced JetWeb technology in 1999. As a trailblazer in the field of end-to-end Ethernet in industrial automation the company ushered in a paradigm change in automation industry. In 2005, Jetter AG introduced another innovation – the programming language JetSym STX. This language is based on Structured Text and allows to program JetWeb controllers using the features of high-level IT languages. Thanks to these features, undreamt-of possibilities open up for the user, such as file operations, exception handling and object-oriented programming. Furthermore, JetSym STX is the first programming language in industrial automation fully integrating path control into its instruction set.
