This unique Debug tool allows users to download any changes in the program to a temporary memory location in the PLC. With this option, users can verify the changes they make before selecting whether to accept or cancel them. Online Editing Shutting down for minor changes can be a major hassle, so WindLDR allows you to edit and download programs while the PLC is still in Run mode. You’ll be able to make changes to the PLC, verify the re- sults and cancel or accept these changes. Simulation Mode WindLDR has a built-in simulation mode that allows users to write and debug programs without needing a PLC. Test your program in WindLDR to guarantee it works the way you expected, rather than downloading it to your PLC. Simulating parameters in WindLDR program is extremely convenient and easy using built-in dialog boxes or point- and-click features.

The analog macro instruction allows users to point and select mod- ules, signal and data type in a matter of seconds. And, all of these confi gurations convert into just one ladder line instruction. Simple-to-use PID Confi guring PID loops with WindLDR software is a snap using the built-in PID dialog box. The PID dialog allows users to quickly select and fi ne tune the desired controls without needing to remember each and every parameter of a PID algorithm. A maximum of 56 PID loops can be utilized in the MicroSmart Pentra. 94 www.idec.com Communication & Networking Sensors Power Supplies Automation Software Operator Interfaces PLCs Communication & Networking PLCs Operator Interfaces Automation Software Power Supplies Sensors WindLDR Automation Software Powerful Debugging Tools Comment Download Settings The comment download settings allow users to choose whether to download Tag names, rung comments, custom monitor dialog boxes and fi le names into the MicroSmart Pentra. The biggest advantage of utilizing these settings is that once a program is retrieved from the PLC, all these important parameters will be available. Users can create, save and download the custom monitor dialog into the MicroSmart Pentra controller. Custom Monitor Dialog Box Compile and enter a list of parameters you want to monitor, then save it and access it again and again, instead of re-entering your data every time. Bookmark Functions Bookmark function is a great debugging tool. It allows users to quickly jump to a bookmarked location in the ladder program allowing for easier program modifi cations and updates.
