Graphic configuration using SIPROM DR24

Application

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.
