Description

EtherCATCode

List all the devices as PLCClosed "Programmable Logic Controller" A Programmable Logic Controller, PLC, or Programmable Controller is a digital computer used for automation of industrial processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines. Used to synchronize the flow of inputs from (physical) sensors and events with the flow of outputs to actuators and events variables so you can use their names in FBs instance

• The devices are displayed under the EtherCAT node in the Project Explorer (see call out )

• The same devices are also displayed as PLC variables in the Dictionary

• You can use them in your PLC programs with a drag-and-drop operation

 

PNCode

List all the variables related to the specific Pipe Network Code

ProfilesCode

List all the variables related to the specific profiles

PLCopenCode

List all the variables related to the specific PLCopenClosed A vendor -and product- independent worldwide association active in Industrial Control and aiming at standardizing PLC file formats based on XML Code

UDFBClosed "User Defined Function Block" UDFB can be used as a sub-function block in another program of the application. It is described using FBD, LD, ST or IL language. Input / output parameters of a UDFB (as well as private variables) are declared in the variable editor as local variables of the UDFB variables

List the variables related to a specific UDFB
