The control sequence of a machine module is implemented using Graphic Motion Language (GML).
Efficiently generated digital twins allow the GML sequence to be tested and gradually optimized at an early stage of development. This ensures that the tested sequence can be seamlessly integrated into the final machine.
Graphic Motion Language
STIWA's engineering tool Graphic Motion Language (GML) sets new standards in software development.
Fast, cost-effective solutions, intuitive usability and maximum reusability of code and knowledge - that is GML. The visual programming language simplifies the understanding of complex processes.
GML focuses on the behavior of components, not the language itself – without wasting time and with powerful analysis features. Simulation functions ensure that your concepts are implemented safely and efficiently. Drive innovation, raise quality standards, and transform the efficiency of your projects with GML.

Your benefits
What makes the GML solution so powerful?
- Reuse of standardized and optimized modules
- Direct connection to the development environment to import and export code
- Parallel processes are easy to implement
- Live process monitoring
- Extensive analysis options such as cycle time analysis
- Library and style guide compliant (for Siemens controllers)
- Smart applications through simple drag & drop - intuitive to use - quick to learn
Who is GML for
- 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
- For system operators to connect machines
- For system operators to connect machines (manufacturer-independent)
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.
