Programming language Type Description

Structured text

(ST)

Textual programming lan-

guage

"Structured text" comes clos-

est to the programming lan-

guages Pascal and C used

for the PC. It consists of a se-

ries of instructions that can

be executed in high-level lan-

guage ("IF..THEN..ELSE") or

in loops (WHILE..DO).

Function block diagram

(FBD)

Graphic programming lan-

guages

Allow programming with logi-

cal symbols. It is very suit-

able for logic controls.

Continous graphic Function

Chart

(CFC)

In addition, based on the

function chart there is the

continuous graphic function

chart (CFC) in which ele-

ments can be placed freely

and feedback can be inserted

directly.

Ladder Diagram

(KOP)

The ladder diagram was de-

veloped from the circuit dia-

gram. The representation of

a ladder diagram program re-

sembles a circuit diagram -

relative to the representation

of the logical links.

Sequential Function Chart

(SFC)

The "Sequential Function

Chart" is a chain of control

steps that are connected by

step-on conditions (transi-

tions).

Library manager

To facilitate programming u-create studio makes it possible to organize ob-

jects that are not related to projects into libraries, such as modules, declara-

tions and visualizations. For this purpose a library administrator is available

for integrating and viewing of libraries.

3.6.2 u-create studio C++

u-create studio C++ allows to develop and integrate C or C++ programs in

the Weidmüller automation system.

u-create studio C++ also offers the possibility to debug the created C or C++

programs already being processed on the control. Therefore a debug server

is running on the control, the user interface for debugging is located in u-cre-

ate studio C++.

Additionally the u-create system provides the following opportunities for C

programming:

● Cyclic C functions
