Machine Application Toolchain MATCH is a TÜV-certified software suite for the development and maintenance of control software for mobile machinery.
The platform provides optimally coordinated solutions over the entire machine lifecycle and enables rapid realisation of safety functions.
Customers always ask questions as to what differentiates MATCH from competitor offerings?HYDAC Automation and Control Engineer Christopher Michaels says.
The predominant response is that it can incorporate aspects of functional safety into the development of control systems from inception.
The embedding of safety standards is consistently supported across the entire development process.
This then leads to the question as to whether it’s easy to reconfigure control systems, and the answer is an emphatic yes, Mr Michaels says.
MATCH enables the user to rapidly design and realise new applications for complex vehicle or machine controls as well as to quickly redesign existing machines, machine parts and functions.
All safety-relevant modules are TÜV-certified.
The next question that arises, says Mr Michaels, is what’s on offer in terms of accessories?
Here HYDAC excels, with its portfolio encompassing extensive accessories and electro-hydraulic subsystems developed on MATCH’s foundation.
MATCH enables the user to develop safety-related applications in accordance with the V-model – with time savings of up to 50 per cent.
It doesn’t stop there, with the user set to benefit from features that are ever increasing, an efficient and continuous development process and future-proof application development.
