This suite of tools provides you with a configuration, test, documentation and commissioning tool for all automation system instruments. It includes graphical configuration for continuous and sequencing control using IEC61131-3 languages such as function block configuration, sequential function charts (SFCs) and ladder logic for creation of actions and steps.
The addition of on-line configuration to an on-line monitoring facility, enables users to view and interact with control and sequence strategies running within the instruments. Additional features have been added to simplify all elements of a configuration for one controller into a simple tree view. Implementation and test of your LIN control scheme becomes easier and faster than ever before!
For solutions using multiple devices, the project developer provides additional tools to manage all elements of a project solution in one environment. The physical plant model, tags, I/O assignment, alarm groups, display and data security are entered via appropriate displays and stored in a central relational database.
A system check tool is available which is used to ensure that the PC configuration matches the software requirements.
Integrated communications
LINOPC provides support for OPC V2.05 that enables OPC clients to communicate with any LIN device over ARCnet, Ethernet and serial communications.
Eurotherm Network Explorer will provide a detailed view of all devices connected to a PC.
OPCScope is an OPC client which provides real-time data and trend information.
