Telemecanique Unity Pro Development Software

Configure, design, program, debug, monitor, diagnose, operate...

Unity software is used with the latest line of Modicon Programming Logic Controllers (PLC) and Programmable Automation Controllers (PAC). Within a single software package Unity allows the full development of application including on-line update and simulation with comprehensive debug functions on Modicon Quantum, Premium, and M340 Unity-based families.

New features for all platforms

• Support for Microsoft Vista Business Edition
• Configuration of time synchronization (NTP) on Ethernet modules
• Capability to access located and unlocated variables in the PLC

New features for Modicon M340 PAC

• Advanced configuration of a new M340 PAC CPU
• Support of the rack extender module
• Pulse Train Output (PTO) module with a set of function block to manage the module: Frequency Generator, Move Velocity, Move Absolute, Move Relative, Homing, and Set Position

New features for Modicon Premium PLC

• Manages a new EtherNet/IP module (TSXETC100) that passed the ODVA conformance tests and manage the communication with devices that are compliant with CIP protocol
• Motion module CAY 22 supports the flying shear function
• Capability to connect the processor simulator SIMAC (prosyst) to the processor
• Easy, expert configuration and setup of the modicon Premium PLC Hot Standby syatem based on the Unity software platform

New features Modicon Quantum PLC

• Manages a new EtherNet/IP module (140NOC77100) that passed the ODVA conformance tests and manage the communication with devices that are compliant with CIP protocol
• Quantum Hot Standby system configurations no longer require an additional RIO drop when Remote I/O are on Ethernet or Profibus

MITSUBISHI Automation - MELSOFT

Powerful integrated programming tools

Faster program development time and simplified system installation and setup - these are two of the most basic demands for today's industrial automation solutions.

Mitsubishi developed the the new MELSOFT concept to achieve these objectives with the help of ingredients like fast access, open variable exchange, project transparency and maximum user-friendliness. The result is an entire family of powerful integrated programming tools that enable you to produce solid programming solutions quickly and reliably.

The MELSOFT Concept:

• Intuitive user interface
• Fast project development
• Reliability
• Data exchange, compatibility
• Economic programming
• Reduced learning curve
• Transparency of variables
• Cost reduction

OMRON SysWin for SYSMAC series

SYSMAC C and CV series Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). It provides a straigtforward method of creating and maintaining programs and testing their operation, either offline or connected to a PLC. SysWin offers a comprehensive range of facilities for the PLC programmer, from program editing to full symbolic and network debugging including

• New program creation
• Program storage and editing
• Uploading and downloading to a PLC
• Program status during execution by PLC

• Commenting programs:

• Symbolic addresses
• Symbolic block and network names
• Comment

• Maintenance of library files
• Printing program and documentation
• Conversion from other packages

SysWin runs in the Microsoft Windows environment and is intuitive to use, allows the programmer to rapidly configure a specific project and enter network and program data. PLC programs can be constructed in either ladder or function plan format, and previously tested network can be recalled from libraries. A special statement list editor allows PLC programs to be viewed and checked in their mnemonic format. These feature are designed to enable user to easily adapt PLC program to changing requirements. Additional features allow the testing of a new network in a supportive and safe environment. The SysWin software can communicate with both C and CV series PLC. Serial communications with the PLC can be through RS-232C or RS-422 serial interfaces with or without a modem. Network Service Boards can be used in the PC to attach to the PLC's using SYSMAC-LINK or SYSMMAC-NET networking. Communications are handled transparently, leaving the programmer free to focus on the coding aspects of a particular PLC project.

HI-TECH PIC C Compiler

HI-TECH C Compiler for PIC10/12/16 MCUs based on the reliable PIC C STD compiler, and supporting Microchip's PIC10/12/14/16 series of MCU's, the HI-TECH C Compiler for PIC10/12/16 MCU's which comes with Omniscient Code Generation (OCG) - as featured in EDN Hot Product of 2007.

OCG extracts information from multiple source files simultaneously, allowing more intelligent state-of-the-art code generation that can deliver up to 2X the code density, 80% better RAM utilization and 40-60% faster interrupts than other compilers.

• Optimizes the size of each pointer variable in your code based on its usage
• Reduces overhead required for interrupt context switching
• Removes unused functions and variables
• Automatically handles memory banking without requiring special qualifiers
• Automatically analyzes user assembly and object code files
• Elimates the need for many non-standard C qualifiers and compiler option and
• Automatically detects and implements print features required by program and eliminates unused features

This all means you can spend less time worrying about device memory requirements and compiler-specific semantics and more time focusing on your goals.

HI-TECH C Compiler also

• Integrates into the MPLAB IDE and other Microchip Development Tools
• Includes library source - for standard libraries and sample code for I/O drivers
• Includes macro assembler, linker, pre-processor, and one-step driver
• Runs on multiple platforms including Windows Linux and Mac OS X
