You’ll be able to make changes to the PLC, verify the re- sults and cancel or accept these changes. The Confirm and Cancel options allow users to select whether to permanently accept the changes (Confirm) or revert the program back to the original settings (Cancel). 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. 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 configurations convert into just one ladder line instruction. Simple-to-use PID Configuring PID loops with WindLDR software is a snap using the built-in PID dialog box. The PID dialog allows users to quickly select and fine 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.

The biggest advantage of utilizing these settings is that once a program is retrieved from the PLC, all these important parameters will be available. 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. Users can create, save and download the custom monitor dialog into the MicroSmart Pentra controller. 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 modifications and updates.
