Main Ladder/Task Area
Ladder Logic
This is where you create your Ladder Logic or Structured Text code. With Ladder Logic, you can drag and drop instructions from the Instructions Pane.
Tasks in this area, and drag-and-drop instructions from the Instructions Pane. The Application Specific Instructions built in to the Productivity Suite will save you time, and ignite your productivity.
Structured Text
Application Specific Instructions
In Productivity Suite there are so many time-saving instructions, even application-specific instructions like Flying Cutoff, and they all have one thing in common - their "fill-in-the-blank" programming method. This method makes it easy to configure tasks that used to require a whole bunch of program code. With Productivity Suite you just fill in the blanks. How productive is that! This style of programming is offered for even the more complex functions - coordinated motion profiles, array functions, communications, PID, the list goes on and on.
In this non-linear scaling example, the volume of the cylindrical tank needs to be determined based on the measured height of the fluid:
With the SCLN instruction it's a simple matter to enter a few pairs of values, and the Productivity Suite interpolates between the points:
Of course with this particular example additional pairs of values could be used to improve the accuracy of the conversion.
