3.6 u-create studio Toolsuite

The tools are all connected to the control via Ethernet. They are used for

configuration, parameterization, programming, debugging and diagnostics

on the control. The following tools are made available in the process:

● Configuration and programming with u-create studio:

The programming environment u-create studio is used to configure, pa-

rameterize, program and debug control applications.

● Creating C/C++ programs with u-create studio C++:

u-create studio C++ for creating and diagnosis/debugging of a control ap-

plication in the programming languages C and C++.

● Diagnostics usingu-create studio Scope:

u-create studio Scope is used to monitor, record and visualize the values

of any variables. Unlike the debugger it will not require the program se-

quence to be interrupted.

● u-create studio UosDiagnostic: for expert diagnosis:

UosDiagnostic is a tool for diagnosis and is used to display expert infor-

mation.

The following chapters describe the tools in more detail.

3.6.1 u-create studio

u-create studio development environment offers a comfortable user interface

with the following functions:

● Configuration and parameterization of the u-create system (including the

PLC configuration)

● Programming according to EN 61131-3

● Integrated module libraries (see library descriptions)

● Library administrator for integrating additional libraries

● Debugging functions (testing program sequence, monitoring and modify-

ing variables, error search).

Programming languages

u-create studio offers all 5 programming languages standardized in EN

61131-3. Each of these languages has specific characteristics that are ide-

ally suited for carrying out specific tasks. Furthermore u-create studio offers

the extension "Function block diagram (FBD)".
