Engineering tool 2 / Engineering tool 3
Successor to the existing Integrated Controller engineering tool, version 2 and version 3 features improved user interface, added ease of operation, and higher engineering efficiency through reducing program save time.
Engineering tool 2 and Engineering tool 3 will fully justify the true value of the Integrated Controller V series.
The Engineering tool 3 supports full-graphic editor and ST language (Structured Text) editor in addition to all the features of the Engineering tool 2.
Integrated engineering
The engineering tools for the V series assure integrated engineering regardless of system size and control functions (sequence, instrumentation). The S and L modules can be programmed in the same program language. Apart from programming, hierarchical engineering is available from system to controller, involving network and hardware configuration and module parameter setting.
Hierarchical programming in international standard language
The V series conforms to the international standard IEC61131-3 for its programming languages. The three graphical languages LD (Ladder Diagram), SFC (Sequential Function Chart), and FBD (Function Block Diagram) can be mixedly used on a single campus , thus permitting programming along the control flow.
A program can be created function by function, and a common function can be defined as a function block. This makes possible hierarchical programming.
Free variables
The local variables that can be used in a program can be defined without being conscious of data physical addresses, and the same variable name can be defined in two or more programs.
The global variables that can be used in common in two or more programs are of a hierarchical structure involving not only the variables usable in common in modules but also the variables that can be used in common between station modules and the variables usable in common between networks, so that data can be exchanged without being aware of system size.
Effective also for system maintenance
The engineering tool is effective for not only program monitoring, data value display, setting, trace, module status monitor and operation, module history display and other programming operations and system configuration but also for maintenance, thus permitting integrated engineering with a single engineering tool.
Reverse creation function restores and builds a system from controllers
Programs, variables, hardware configuration, and other information can be fetched from the controller by the engineering tool to restore and build a system.1 This reverse creation function facilitates controller maintenance without program and other data in the field.
Group engineering by client/server
The engineering tool may be used not only singly but also in client/server mode. This makes possible the centralized control of data by a server machine and parallel engineering with two or more client machines. This feature is effective for exclusive processing in competitive operations in which two or more clients may simultaneously edit and compile a program, thus assuring efficient group engineering.
Waste-free transition of engineering data
(Engineering tool 2 / Engineering tool 3)
variables and other engineering data can be used by converting them into data for the engineering tool 2 and engineering tool 3, using V1 Import, which is a standard component of the engineering tool 2 and engineering tool 3. Therefore, the data created so far can be shifted to the engineering tool 2 and engineering tool 3 without waste.
