G-MAS PLCOpen IEC 61131-3 Programming

High-end software development using IEC and other languages

Description

The IEC G-MAS PLCOpen programming tool is built in to the Elmo Application Studio (EAS). It enables development of G-MAS programs in full accordance with the IEC standard and supports all five IEC languages.

A programmer can use all standard PLC-Open motion functions and administrative functions that are supported by G-MAS. The tool enables Built-in complete and complicated software for a wide range of high end motion solutions. It includes abundant sample code, motion libraries and templates to ease and simplify integration.

Using the IEC G-MAS PLCOpen tool, a programmer can Built-in libraries which can be reused in multiple projects and software solutions. The tool features a simple, intuitive graphical user interface.

The tool also enables users without any programming knowledge to exploit most G-MAS software capabilities.

The IEC G-MAS PLCOpen tool supports IEC 61131-3, which defines both graphical and textual PLC programming language standards:

•  Ladder diagram (LD), graphical
•  Function block diagram (FBD), graphical
•  Structured text (ST), textual
• Instruction list (IL), textual
• Sequential function chart (SFC), has elements to organize programs for sequential and parallel control processing.
