PL7 Micro/Junior/Pro programming software
Access to all programming and debug tools is gained via the application browser.
This gives a global view of the program and enables all the application components to
be accessed quickly via contextual menus.
1 Configuration editor.
2 Program editor.
3 DFB user function block editor.
4 Variable editor.
5 Animation table editor.
6 Documentation editor.
7 Operating screen editor.
In order to make programs more comprehensible, the FAST and MAST tasks are
split into sections.
Each section
1
has a name, a comment and is programmed in one of the four
languages available in PL7.
A section programmed in Grafcet language can contain a main chart
2
and
macro-steps
3
. Version u V4.0 of PL7 allows comments to be added to each
macro-step.
To protect intellectual property or avoid any unwarranted modification, each section
can be write-protected or read/write-protected.
PL7 Pro software can be used to structure an application for a Premium platform into
functional modules that are broken down into sections (program code), animation
tables and operating screens. Independently of the multitask structure of the PLC, the
designer can define a multilevel tree structure of the automation application.
At each level, it is possible to attach program sections written in Ladder language (LD),
Structured Text (ST), Instruction List (IL), Grafcet (SFC), and animation tables.
Two types of view are available at all times:
b A representation showing a tree structure of modules can provide a breakdown
according to consistent functions in relation to the process to control.
b The classic representation of the application browser provides a view of the
execution order of the program sections for each PLC.
The operation services associated with the functional view are available in one or
the other view. In particular, a single command can be used to force whether or not
a functional module is executed.
In this case, every section attached to the functional module is automatically forced.
All or part of the tree structure can be exported into functional modules.
In this case, all program sections of the different module levels are exported.
During an import, an assistant can be used to reassign the data associated with the
module in stages.
