WAGO-I/O Pro Software Offers Six Programming Languages & A "Free HMI"
Convenient software programming tool makes distributed control easy to achieve
Germantown, WI, July 2002 - WAGO Corporation offers a fully compliant IEC 61131-3 programming software tool for the WAGO Programmable Fieldbus Controller (PFC) product series. Designated WAGO-I/O-PRO 32, the software tool allows end users to develop PLC applications in all six programming languages: Ladder Logic, Function Block, Sequential Function Chart, Instruction List, Structured Text, and Cyclical Function Chart.
"The IEC 61131-3 standard defines a common look and feel for industrial control programming," said WAGO Product Manager, Bill Lydon. "A major feature of the language is that users can create their own function blocks which can be reused. This means that frequently used functions and sequential logic only need to be created once, dramatically increasing productivity and quality."
The WAGO-I/O-PRO 32 offers a wide range of features to meet today's automation and control programming needs:
- Translation of programming languages for ease of conversion and standardization.
- Off line simulation of control strategies allows debugging of programs before field implementation.
- Automatic pop up window for declaration of variables ensuring program operability
- Online status indication in the program code for onsite troubleshooting
- Integrated visual display of internal and external flags for event monitoring
- Storage and graphic display of project variables for ease of maintenance
Used in conjunction with the WAGO-I/O-PFC, the WAGO-I/O-PRO 32 delivers a complete system for distributed control that works with all the popular networks: Ethernet, Modbus, DeviceNet, Profibus, CANopen, Interbus and LON. Conveniently priced at $600.00, the software package is sold as a site license for use throughout a company's plant site and without hardware keys. Additionally, a free Human Machine Interface (HMI) is integrated into every WAGO I/O PRO 32 software package.
WAGO is the world leader in spring pressure termination technology and automation products, specializing in DIN rail mounted terminal blocks and connectors, fieldbus independent I/O systems, custom electronics and factory automation products.
