Programming
Control FPWIN Pro
Compliant with international standard IEC61131-3
Programming software approved by PLC Open
■ Programming in the most suitable language
●Programming in the language most suited to the process
Easy-to-understand, efficient programs can be created, for example, by
using a ladder program for machine control or ST for communications
control.
●Programming in the language you are good at
Programming time can be greatly reduced by the easy ability to split and
then integrate programming for each function and process.

■ Reuse of programs is easy.
● Register time-proven programs by block in the library.
● By using variable identifiers (names), there is no need to be
concerned with addresses for each machine when reusing
programs.

■ Features
1. Five programming languages can
be used.
Programming can be done using the
language most familiar to the developer
or using the language most suited to the
process to be performed. High-level
(structured text) languages that allow
structuring, such as C, are supported.
2. Easy to reuse well-proven
programs
Efficiency when writing programs has
been greatly increased by being able to
split programming up for each function
and process using structured
programming.

3. Keep know-how from getting out
By "black boxing" a part of a program, you
can prevent know-how from leaking out
and improve the program's maintainability.
4. Conversion function for previously
written programs provided to allow
use of program assets.
5. Uploading of source programs
from PLC possible.
Maintainability increased by being able to
load programs and comments from the
PLC.
* This only applies to FP-X, FPΣ and FP2
(with comment memory) and to FP2SH
and FP10SH (with card board).
6. Programming for all models in the
FP series possible.
Any model can be used.
■ "Black boxing" of programs
●Multiple passwords for protection of each block
The security level (8 levels) can be input for each block in a program. Only users
of a set security level or higher can make changes.
