Graphic Motion Language
Graphic Motion Language (GML) is a programming tool for graphically programming and analyzing PLC controllers.
GML is easy to learn, even without programming knowledge, making it a universal tool for standardizing high-quality PLC functionality with a high degree of reuse. Clear, simple and easy to understand, GML is intuitive to learn.
Tool to standardize EVERY production
With GML solutions for Siemens and Beckhoff we provide the tool to standardize EVERY production.
Our demo version will give you a first impression. To use the demo version, you need your own user license, which we will gladly send you without obligation. If you are interested, please contact us.
The demo version of GML allows you to create up to 100 shapes without any time limit or functional restrictions. It also includes the "Parameter Structure Editor", a powerful tool that allows customization and configuration of the GML interface in the shapes. This allows users to create their own custom shapes with their specific building blocks, extending the functionality of their projects

Your benefits
What makes the GML solution so powerful?
- Smart applications through simple drag & drop - intuitive to use - quick to learn
- Reuse of standardized and optimized modules
- Direct connection to the development environment to import and export code
- Live process monitoring
- Extensive analysis options such as cycle time analysis
- Library and style guide compliant (for Siemens controllers)
Who is GML for
- For PLC programming in the automation industry
- For designers in module sequence simulation to ensure cycle time
- For PLC code standardizers
- Plant operators for process analysis and adaptation
- Maintenance and repair personnel for troubleshooting and optimization
With the help of the GML (Graphic Motion Language) developed by STIWA, an analysis of the program sequence can be easily performed. The graphical flowchart makes it easy to visually display a live online analysis to the customer via remote maintenance. These applications would not be possible for us with programming in FBD (Function Block Diagram), LD (Ladder Diagram) or IL (Instruction List).

Project Manager - After Sales
Thanks to the Graphic Motion Language (GML), we have made great progress in maintenance. Now three employees in maintenance can look after about 100 assembly lines.
With GML, we can easily find and fix process errors, but also implement extensions. As a result, we have much less maintenance effort. The use of GML has greatly improved the performance of our systems – a great success thanks to new technology.Michael Gappmaier
Control Engineering - Julius Blum GmbH
GML is the perfect basis for a common understanding between mechanics, electricians and programmers. Thanks to the simplification with GML, everyone can immediately understand what has been programmed and make optimizations independently, i.e. I don't need the developer or the creator of the PLC program. The extensive features, such as online step times or cycle time analysis up to the cycle time critical path, allow me to implement improvements two to three times faster than with conventional programming.
Bernhard Kinast
Head of production maintenance
Thanks to GML, we can program the systems more than 70 percent faster. This shortened lead time from design to commissioning and the analysis options with GML give us a significant advantage over our competitors.
