Programming Idec Smartrelay - IDEC SMARTRELAY User Manual

Programming IDEC SmartRelay

Getting started with IDEC SmartRelay
Programming refers to creating a circuit program from the Base Module.
In this chapter you will learn how to use IDEC SmartRelay to create the IDEC SmartRelay
circuit programs for your application.
WindLGC is the IDEC SmartRelay programming software that you can use on your PC to
quickly and easily create, test, modify, save and print the circuit programs. The topics in this
manual, however, relate only to the creation of circuit programs on the actual IDEC SmartRelay
Base Module. The programming software WindLGC contains extensive online help.
Note
IDEC SmartRelay versions without a display unit, that is, the FL1F-B12RCE, FL1F-B12RCA
and FL1F-B12RCC versions, do not have an operator panel and display unit. These devices
are ideal for use in small machine and process equipment engineering systems for series
production.
You do not program FL1F-B12RCE/B12RCA/B12RCC versions directly on the device.
Instead, you download a program to the device from WindLGC or from memory cards with
the program you created on another IDEC SmartRelay device.
IDEC SmartRelay versions without a display cannot write data to memory cards.
See Chapters "Using memory cards (Page 267)", "IDEC SmartRelay software (Page 277)"
and the Appendix "IDEC SmartRelay without display ("IDEC SmartRelay Pure") (Page 305)"
for more information.
A small example in the first part of this chapter introduces the operating principles of IDEC
SmartRelay:
•
You will learn the meaning of two basic terms, namely the connector and the block.
•
As the next step, you will create a circuit program based on a simple conventional circuit.
•
Lastly, you will enter this program directly in IDEC SmartRelay.
It will take you only a few pages of this manual to store your first executable circuit program in
the IDEC SmartRelay device. With suitable hardware (switches etc.), you will then be able to
carry out initial tests.
