IDEC WindLDR Version 8.2.2 PLC programming software

IDEC Corporation has announced Version 8.2.2 of its WindLDR PLC programming software, a PC-based platform used to program IDEC’s FC6A MicroSmart PLC. The software can also be used to program IDEC’s entire line of PLCs.

IoT capability is provided by custom web pages which can be configured for remote monitoring and control. Web pages are created with the built-in Web Page Editor using simple drag-and-drop functionality, with no HTML programming required.

When used with the MicroSmart FC6A PLC, these web pages are stored in the PLC, which also functions as a web server. Email and text notification functionality are also available.

WindLDR is an icon-driven programming tool designed to make programming IDEC’s controllers simple and intuitive with either ladder logic or Script, the latter similar to the C programming language. The Script language can be used to create more complex programs, particularly those with multiple subprograms and custom function blocks. Even without ladder logic programming experience, programmers can use the built-in editors, shortcuts and debuggers to quickly configure programs.

WindLDR also allows editing and downloading of programs while the PLC is still in Run mode. This function allows users to write new values to counters, timers and registers at any time without switching between editor mode (used for programming) and monitor mode.

A built-in simulation mode also provides a means to test and verify the functionality of ladder programs without having to download the program to an IDEC PLC.
