The SIPROM DR24 program is used for the graphic programming of the SIPART DR24 multi-function unit. It includes all the configuration and parameterization of the multi-function unit using a graphic operator interface (MS Windows).
SIPROM DR24 runs on the following computers:
Personal computer with operating system MS-Windows 95/98/NT
SIMATIC PG 720, 740 or 760 programmable controllers with operating system
MS-Windows 95/98/NT
The core functions of the SIPROM DR24 are:
Documentation updating of complete user programs in the SIPART DR24 in tabular form. Controller data can be modified in the PC, saved, and downloaded again to the multi-function unit
Function library containing all of the SIPART DR24 function elements.
Positioning of the elements with a mouse click on maximum 100 sheets. Positioning can be carried out within one sheet or more (FDEF)
Connection of function blocks from data source to data sink (FCON) where the analog and digital signals can be differentiated by their color
Positioning (FPOS) of the function blocks i. e. the order of the software processing is automatically fixed. It can be changed at any time by a mouse click
Parameter input in tabular form (ONPA, OFPA, CLPA)
Transmission of complete graphic configuration to SIPART DR24, to the printer and on floppy or hard disk
Duplication of user programs.
The program stored in a user program memory are fetched and then copied from the PC to other SIPART DR24 multi-function units.
Documentation of complete multi-function unit: front assignment and rear including all inputs and outputs
Moving of blocks without destroying interconnections.
Insertion of text strings where required
Symbol alignment using grid points (can be toggled on and off)
Choice of graphical or tabular configuration
Layout check over 2 pages
Page by page storage and loading of partial circuits
Multiple use of constants
UNDO facility (can be toggled on and off)
When processing a graphics circuit scaling up or reducing is possible (zooming)
Controller data generated by previous SIPROM DR24 software versions can be edited.
