TÜV SÜD Certifies Esterel Technologies' SCADE Display 6.2 KCG Code Generator to SIL 3/4 under EN 50128 and SIL 3 under IEC 61508 Standards

ELANCOURT, France and BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Esterel Technologies, the leading worldwide provider of critical system and software development solutions, today announced that TÜV SÜD Rail GmbH has certified the latest version of its SCADE Display^® KCG^® Code Generator to safety integrity level (SIL) 3/4 under EN 50128 and SIL 3 under IEC 61508. TÜV SÜD is a leading global testing and inspection organization with more than 13,000 certified experts providing consulting, testing, certification and training services at more than 600 locations in Europe, America, and Asia.

“We are pleased that the latest version of SCADE Display KCG joins our other certified/qualified products as we continue to invest in supporting safety standards and tool qualification”

“We are pleased that the latest version of SCADE Display KCG joins our other certified/qualified products as we continue to invest in supporting safety standards and tool qualification,” said Eric Bantegnie, President and CEO of Esterel Technologies. “This TÜV SÜD certification reinforces the quality and reliability of our model-based SCADE Display product and the SCADE Display KCG code generator for our rail and industrial customers.”

SCADE Display, a model-based flexible graphics design and code generation tool suite for the development of critical display systems, and its SCADE Display KCG code generator have been designed from the ground up in close cooperation with certification authorities EASA, the FAA, and TÜV SÜD to facilitate and automate the development of critical applications, both embedded and non-embedded (such as control rooms for railways or nuclear power plants). With native support of the OpenGL^® Safety Critical (SC) standard, SCADE Display is the next generation of display framework, spanning prototyping, display design, simulation, verification and validation, and code generation. Users of SCADE Display and SCADE Display KCG save development effort and time to certification for their critical display applications.

SCADE Display 6.2 provides unique interactivity mechanisms in the Human Machine Interfaces on the embedded target. With this functionality, developers can easily construct complex interactive objects and active regions in the graphical display. For developers of Driver Machine Interfaces and control room displays, for example, this technology dramatically speeds the development cycle and improves the quality of graphical displays that provide user interaction with touch screens, mice, keyboards, and many other types of input/output devices. Moreover, this support of interactive displays contains a unique feature because it integrates with the IGL pure-software OpenGL driver, enabling SCADE Display 6.2 to automatically target virtually any hardware platform, not just those relying on hardware accelerated Graphics Processing Units (GPUs).
