Jin-Yami Software

Jin-Yami Software develops industrial automation software that connects directly to controllers communicating via EtherNet/IP according to the ODVA specification. The company offers cross-platform solutions for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, targeting engineers and technicians in industrial automation. Users can purchase the software through their online shop to receive a license key for activation.

The software provides manual and automatic operation modes, visual schemas for HVAC systems including ventilation, heating, cooling, heat pumps, and buffer storage, and a tag browser for controller variables. It also includes a fault monitor and a data logger with real-time line charts and CSV export capabilities. These features are designed to help users manage and monitor industrial processes efficiently.

Users can import and export variables, schemas, faults, and I/Os via CSV and Excel files. The platform supports multiple modes per plant, clearly separated by color, and includes roles for programmers and installers. Visual schemas for heating, cooling, and heat pump systems are also available within the application.

The application allows direct browsing of controller tags with a one-click transfer to variables. Active faults are highlighted in red on the home screen, and users can filter the fault list. Real-time line diagrams with CSV export are provided for monitoring variable trends over time.

The software is tested with Allen-Bradley CompactLogix devices, such as the 1769-L33ER, and supports ControlLogix and CompactLogix series. It utilizes the open, publicly documented EtherNet/IP standard (ODVA) and does not require any software from Rockwell Automation. This compatibility ensures broad integration with existing industrial hardware.

The company states that the software can write to productive controllers, which may affect machines, valves, motors, and plants. It is explicitly noted as not being a safety function under machine safety standards and is not suitable for personnel protection. Users must ensure no danger arises from the plant before deployment.

The software relies on the open-source library libplctag under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 or LGPL 2.1+, and uses the Flutter-SDK under BSD-3-Clause. Full license texts are available in the application under Settings → About & Legal. The company also mentions using technically necessary cookies for shop operations.

The company was founded by Ing. Kevin Andoh, MSc, who serves as the founder and developer. The mission focuses on making industrial automation more accessible regardless of manufacturer, protocol, or platform. Their vision includes expanding into hardware and accessories in the future while maintaining a manufacturer-neutral approach.

The software is available for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android platforms. Users can choose their preferred platform during the download process. After purchase, a license key is provided for activation on the selected device.

The software is designed for industrial automation industries, specifically targeting information technology and services sectors. It is used for computer software development and industrial automation tasks. The company aims to serve a global market with cross-platform capabilities.

The company emphasizes that the software is not a safety function in the sense of machine safety and is not intended for personnel protection. Users are responsible for ensuring the plant does not pose a danger before deploying the software. This distinction highlights the operational nature of the tool rather than a certified safety mechanism.
