Integrated programming tool - Single tool that contains a compiler, programming editors, standard libraries for developing PLC applications and standard hardware types (units) in libraries for hardware configuring.
Self-defined libraries - Create your own self-defined libraries containing data types, function block types and more which can be connected to any project. Various functions and type solutions for simple logic control, device control, loop control, alarm handling etc. are packaged as standard libraries.
Re-use of libraries - Reduced engineering by promoting re-use of user-defined libraries of data and function block types
Comprehensive diagnostics - Powerful simulation and online/offline facilities for testing, program modification, troubleshooting and commissioning. Features for online testing include Status inspection, Force, Overwrite, Tasks.
IEC 61131-3 Programming - Support for all five IEC 61131-3 languages giving you the flexibility to choose the language that best fits your needs : Function Block Diagram (FBD), Structured Text (ST), Instruction List (IL), Ladder Diagram (LD), Sequential Function Chart (SFC) and extension languages : Diagram Editor with Function Diagram and Control Modules.
Control Diagram Editor
Control Diagram Editor is the next generation editor which helps to increase engineering efficiency, reduce engineering mistakes, and enable the creation of logic which is easy to read and maintain.
Control modules in combination with Control Diagram Editor supports forward and feedback signals in one and the same variable. The result is powerful and easy to read control logic.
