Tough Director PLC Hassle Free Drag-n-Drop Programming Software
The Tough Director PLCs Drag-n-Drop software is essentially a graphical language, you draw the ladder intuitively. No complicated syntax and rules, Can be learnt in a few minutes.
- No Cumbersome Licensing and Maintenance fees
- No complicated syntax and rules to learn
- No class required
- A Very Simple Addressing Format
The Tough Director PLC Programming features:
32 Bit Floating Point Advanced Math
Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide, Modulo, Absolute, Square root, Log, Trignometric, Binary to BCD to Gray Code Conversions
64k Byte User Memory
Most Micro PLCs have only a limited 8-16k memory. But not this souped up PLC!
User Program Stored in Flash
User program saved in non volatile Flash memory instead of battery backed up RAM. It safeguards the user program in the event of loss of battery power in the Tough PLC
Tough PLC can handle 8 Auto-tuned PID Loops with Unique PID Monitor
PID is one of the most popular control algorithms used in the industry, to control the variables involved in an industrial manufacturing process, for the proper operation of the process. PID stands for Proportional, Integral and Derivative control algorithm. With a proper choice of P, I, and D settings, a user can maintain a process value very close to the setpoint. In addition, if the setpoint changes, the PID algorithm can quickly bring the process back under control. Tough PLC supports up to 8 PID loops. For each loop you have to define several parameters, as shown below in the PID Setup window. You may change most of these parameters during run time, using Tough PLC editor in online mode.
Distributed Control from 8 I/O to 2048 I/O
All the PLCs in the Distributed Network can be programmed either locally or through one
port. Each local CPU with 64KB of Memory and 40MHz coldfire Risc processor capable of 60μs screw-to-screw response.
