Control FPWIN Pro

Programming according to the international standard IEC 61131-3

FPWIN Pro is the Panasonic programming software developed according to the international standard

IEC 61131-3 (for Windows 98, NT V4.0, 2000, ME or XP). This new version is a result of experience gained over many years. We were one of the first PLC manufacturers to offer an IEC 61131-3 programming software, and we are a leading member of the international organisation PLCopen.

Input and output variables are defined once in the global variable list

Functions can be saved in libraries for future reuse

Navigator with tree representation of called

functions provides an overview even for very

complex projects

Multiple address assigment

Local variables are allocated

Type safe programming using

is caught automatically

automatically by the compiler

simple or complex data types

by the compiler

 

 

 

 

Comfortable programming in the

 

 

graphical LD editor (ladder diagram)

 

 

One instruction for different

 

 

data types (overloaded instructions)

 

 

Temporary variables are allocated

 

 

and released automatically by the

 

 

compiler

Long variable names make the program self-explanatory

The SFC editor (Sequential

Additional window for monitoring

Special functions for controlling the

Function Chart) allows you to

and forcing variables

SFC program from another program

easily visualize processes

 

 

Structuring with selection statements

Using loops for running through incoming data

...or arrays

Using alliases names for PLC-independent access on the special data registers, e.g. RTC

Easy handling of formulas and arithmetic expressions

The ST editor (Structured Text) solves complex programming tasks

Using STRING functions for analyzing incoming data...

...or for generating formatted output strings

Free demonstration disc

The most important highlights at a glance:

 

One software for all FP Series PLCs.

 

 

 

 

 

5 programming languages (instruction list, ladder diagram, function block diagram,

 

 

 

sequential function chart, structured text) available for all PLCs.

 

 

 

Programme organisation units, task and project management provide clear structure.

 

 

 

Reuse of ready-made functions and function blocks saves time for programming and debugging.

 

 

 

Online monitoring and diagnostics.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Part numbers:

 

 

 

Forcing – Turning off input and output contacts via the PC.

 

 

 

 

 

FPWINPROF:

Full version

 

 

Modem communication for remote programming, service and diagnostics.

 

 

 

supports all FP Series PLCs

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Extensive comments – online documentation created hand in hand with the program.

FPWINPROS:

Small version,

 

 

6 languages are supported: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Japanese.
