Conventional ladder programming *Structured programming. A programming method proposed by Yokogawa Electric Corporation in 1989, in which an increasingly complexed ladder program is divided into parts for individual functional units so that developers can easily understand the program framework, and improved productivity and program maintainability. As these advantages became recognized in the 1990's, structured programming grew rapidly.
Program Component Independence of Blocks and Macros for Enhancing Drastical Reusability. Blocks and macros are pieces of program and use common devices as their data. Thus, devices need to be assigned uniquely not to doubly used in different blocks and macros. By using the concept of local devices in each block and macro, devices can be handled independently in each block and macro.
Index View Increased Efficiency of Reuse with Improved Visibility. A ladder program is coded as a long strip of diagram, which makes it difficult to grasp the overall flow. The entire program structure can be grasped. You can hide and show each circuit block under the circuit comment (just like expanding and collapsing the tree) to grasp the entire program structure and go to the corresponding parts.
Collective Change of I/O Positions Whenever the I/O module allocation is changed, the I/O addresses in the program can be changed instantly. Addition of Deletion of Addition of Deletion of I/O Modules I/O Modules I/O Modules I/O Modules Before change Before change After change After change...
Logical Design by Tag Name A name suggesting the corresponding action can be assigned to each device to increase maintainability. Arbitrary names for individual devices can be used in the programming before the terminal assignment is decided. The ability to separately determine the logical design and physical design (i.e., program design and terminal assignment) greatly reduces the engineering period.
Group Tag Name Sets of names can be named to enable data sets to be managed under group names System Configuration Group Name Settings Multi-axis positioning control Group name PCH1 C C C C H H H H Signal Name Address 2...
Advantages of Windows Environment Effortless data exchange with Windows-based applications. Support for versatile Windows technologies such as OLE. Tag name definitions set on a Microsoft Excel sheet can be imported into WideField. Data in WideField, such as a ladder diagram, can be utilized for the As Built Drawings.
Flexible Operability Ladder diagrams can be modified like editing a document with a word processor. Programming problems are minimized and operability maximized. Program modification and monitoring can be done simultaneously by opening multiple windows. Both mouse and key operations are supported. Connection lines can be dawn and deleted by dragging.
Sophisticated Debugging Functions Ladder diagrams can be modified while they are running. User-oriented debugging functions assist program development and modification. The log of CPU-detected errors can be viewed as the System Log, and the trend of the system running status can be managed as the User Log. Multiple parts of a diagram can be changed at once and modified parts can be reverted at once, all while online.
Enriched Help A description, operands and examples of action are shown for each instruction. The appropriate help for each situation can be called. Details on how to use an instruction and its action can be referenced. An outline of a function and how to use it can be referenced. Potential causes and countermeasures for an error can be referenced.

Remote OME Using Commercially-available Modem An FA-M3 R installed in a distant location can be maintained via a public telephone line. The following can be performed remotely with the standard features of WideField: Editing/loading/saving programs, monitoring ladder diagrams, monitoring devices, monitoring operation statuses, viewing system log, reading various data, and more.
System Log Status changes, failures and errors during operation of an FA-M3 R can be recorded. The system log lists the date, time and message of each event to allow you to grasp the past operation log and analyze changes in the system status and the results of program failures. The information displayed as the system log can also be printed and saved to a file, which can then be opened and printed later.
User log Alarms, events and errors for equipment and machines (controlled by an FA-M3 R) occurring during operation can be logged. In addition to the system log, user-defined messages can be recorded (for up to 64 messages per CPU) as the user log. The user log lists the date, time and message of each event to allow you to grasp the past operation log and analyze changes in the system status and the results of improper equipment/machine operations.
Sampling Traces You can trace device values while running a program. You can also record device values before the trigger condition is established. You can use sampling traces not only while debugging but also during operation for troubleshooting and failure analyses (no other manufacturer's PLC provides this function Use of the sampling trace function does not affect the scan time.
