Software -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Besides the standard OLE2 automation method for exchanging data under MS Windows, P-NET drivers for DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) also exist. Software tools for monitoring and debugging, Graphic Control Systems, tools for downloading programs and for configuration, editors etc. are all available for P-NET. Process-Pascal is available as a programming tool for P-NET controllers, which is Standard ISO-Pascal with additional facilities for declaring variables on the network,and for task management in a multi-tasking environment.

Multi-tasking facilities are also included in Process-Pascal, providing up to 64 tasks in each master..
