SDKC software
C language function development software, also called SDKC, is a PL7 Micro,
PL7 Junior and PL7 Pro software option. It enables new functions to be developed
(internal code written in C language) and extends and completes the standard set of
functions offered by PL7 software.
SDKC software also integrates a creation and management service for families of
functions, so they can be integrated in the PL7 library.
Finally, it can be used to generate the function which ensures the protection of
PL7 applications by reading a signature in the PCMCIA card inserted in the PLC.
C language development software is a genuine tool for managing the entire function
which has been created:
b A user-friendly creation interface, integrated in PL7, with automatic file
organisation.
b Powerful debug and test tools.
b Management of compatibility and software version for the functions created.
b Generation of disks for the subsequent installation of functions on other
development stations.
The software enables different function families to be defined. These functions, also
known as EF, are classed according to family, allowing the user to create a
sequential library of functions written in C language.
These functions, which will eventually form a part of the PL7 library, can be:
b Used in all languages.
b Displayed by the PL7 library tool.
b Classed according to family/function.
The user has the following data at his disposal:
b Date of creation and generation of the function.
b The version number of the function family.
The various SDKC software editor tabs enable the user to create the function by:
b Declaring the interface (name, type and comment) for each input, output or I/O
parameter.
b Writing the source code file in C language.
b Declaring the constants as separate files.
A function written in C language can access numerous internal PLC services such
as real-time clock, PLC variables, system words, mathematical functions.
In particular, it is possible to carry out numerical processing in floating point format,
if the target PLC allows.
