Introduction
Win-GRAF Workbench is a powerful SoftLogic development software and is used for configuration, programming, and debugging. The workbench supports all standard softPLC programming languages such as Structure Text, Function Blocks, Ladder, Instruction List and Sequential Function Charts.
The workbench supports cold restart, hot restart and on-line changes. Multitasking programming with task priority and cycle time setting is possible. Tools are provided for event based communication between different Win-GRAF runtimes. The event are time based.HMI communication interfaces for Indusoft and eLogger (ICP DAS developed HMI) are part of the workbench tools. Programming interfaces for c++, c#, LabVIEW enables data exchange between runtime and third party software.
Using the Win-GRAF software with ICP DAS Win-GRAF PACs, the control/ monitor systems can easily implement in the industrial level of data acquisition and logic control in various industrial fields.
Win-GRAF Runtime Platforms
There are variety of hardware platforms that support Win-GRAF:
Industrial PC Version:
♦ EtherCAT motion control on a standard Windows Industrial PC:
• Runtime has to be installed on a the PC and a the EtherCAT master card has to be plugged into the PCIe slot.
• EtherCAT master card: ECAT-M801-xx
