PLC simulator

Unity Pro’s integrated simulator can be used to test the application program for

Modicon M340, M580, Premium or Quantum PLCs from the PC terminal without

having to connect to the PLC processor. The functions provided by the debugging

tools are available for debugging the master, fast and auxiliary tasks.

As the simulator does not manage the PLC I/O, animation tables can be used to

simulate the state of inputs by forcing them to 0 or 1.

The simulator can be connected to third-party applications via an OPC server with

OFS (OPC Factory Server) software.

Trending tool

The trending tool allows easy monitoring of variables by detecting operating

problems or improving process performance. You can select any variable in your

application and start acquisition, save records, and analyze records with integrated

tools or Excel. The PLC mast scan can scan up to 16 variables.

Documentation editor

The documentation editor is based on the Documentation Browser, which shows the

le structure in tree form.

It allows all or part of the application le to be printed on any graphics printer

accessible under Windows and using True Type technology, in A4 or US letter print

format.

The documentation editor supports the creation of user-specic les using the

following headings:

b Title page

b Contents

b General information

b Footer

b Conguration

b EF, EFB and DFB type function blocks

b User variables
