2 CIMPLICITY Logic Developer - PLC Version 4.00 GFK-1918D
1
Logic Developer - PLC makes it possible to develop control applications on a
personal computer and download them to a PLC via Ethernet or serial/modem
connection.
Hosted in the Machine Edition environment, Logic Developer - PLC takes
advantage of a powerful set of common programming tools (see page 14). The
same tools can be applied to Logic Developer - PC (PC Control), Logic Developer -
State, CIMPLICITY View and CIMPLICITY Motion components, providing a single
programming environment. The Machine Edition environment unites and
organizes components, providing data sharing and networked operation.
The following features are included in this version of Logic Developer - PLC:
■
Hardware Configuration (HWC): a comprehensive tool for configuring and
customizing GE Fanuc PLCs or racks of Remote I/O for your specific operating
needs. For more information on Hardware Configuration, see page 43.
■
LD Editor: an intelligent, cell-based, graphical editor for developing LD (Ladder
Diagram) logic. You can customize the look and feel of the LD Editor. For more
information on the LD Editor, see page 63.
■
IL Editor: an easy-to-use, free-form text editor for creating Instruction List logic.
Configurable formatting rules and color coding make your scripts easy to read.
For more information on the IL editor, see page 79.
■
C Blocks and C Programs: independent sections of executable code, written in
C language, that are developed outside of Logic Developer - PLC. Precompiled
C blocks and C programs are imported into your project. For more information
on C blocks, see page 86. For more information on C programs, see page 88.
■
PLC Motion Editor: a free-form text editor that enables you to enter the program
in your preferred style. The PLC Motion editor is specifically designed for
support of the IC693DSM314 motion module. For more information on the
Motion editor, see page 91.
■
Local Logic Editor: a text-based editor used for developing logic that executes
locally on a IC693DSM314 motion module. Local Logic runs synchronously
with the PLC Motion program, but is independent of the PLC’s CPU. For more
information on the Local Logic editor, see page 95.
■
CAM Editor: an accessory for the Logic Developer - PLC Motion editor
specifically designed for support of the IC693DSM314 motion module. It
provides a graphical means to create, edit, and manage electronic CAM
profiles. For more information on the CAM editor, see page 100.
