The OpenPCS programming environment is fully compliant with the IEC 61131-3 standard, i.e. it allows the implementation of the program code in 6 languages:
-Instruction List
-Structured Text
-Function Block Diagram
-Ladder Diagram
-Sequential Function Chart
-Continous Function Chart
OpenPCS is multitasking and allows:
-structured programming facilitated by variable declarations and by the self-recognition of keywords
-online debugging tools and integrated simulation
-tool simplified project management thanks to the project browser
In addition, three function libraries are added in the AsconTecnologic Edition that favor and improve the programming of control strategies:
-Control Library (advanced regulation functions, PID, hot/cold algorithms, autotuning, etc.)
-Auxiliary Library (programmer, calculation of moving averages, calculation of F0, Modbus RTU and TCP communication functions, etc)
-AT I/O Library (configuration functions and access to distributed I/O modules)
