What is ISaGRAF ?
ISaGRAF is a complete
industrial software package consisting of Soft Logic Programming Tools, a
Runtime execution engine and custom VAR/OEM development tools for
automation control applications. ISaGRAF is designed to turn any
industrial computer into a high performance, yet inexpensive Soft Logic
Controller. ISaGRAF is based on the only internationally recognized
industrial automation control language, the IEC61131-3. ISaGRAF was the
first Windows-based development environment to fully support all five of
the PLC languages : Ladder Diagram (LD), Function Block Diagram (FBD),
Sequential Function Chart (SFC), Structured Text (ST), and Instruction
List (IL). Additionally, for the ultimate in power and flexibility,
ISaGRAF supports functions and function blocks written in
IEC61131-3 languages. Applications for ISaGRAF range from simple machine
control to complex processes with high speed, high performance, and high
reliability tasks.
ISaGRAF and
I-8417/8817/8437/8837
, I-7188EG ,
I-7188XG
controllers
The ISaGRAF application can be easily applied
to the I-8417 / 8817 / 8437 / 8837 and the
I-7188EG/XG
embedded
controllers. When adding
ISaGRAF programming, there are three distinct advantages. The first is
that the PLC language is easy to design. Instead of C language, ISaGRAF
supports all five IEC61131-3 languages plus Flow Chart language (FC).
The second advantage is the
powerful communication ability. There are 4 communication ports on the
I-84X7 / 88X7
controllers. COM1 is a
simple RS232 device that is linked to PC running ISaGRAF Workbench. It
supports Modbus protocol. For the I-8x17 controller, COM2 is a 2-wire
RS485 device that is constructed as a Modbus network system for up to 255
controllers. For the I-8x37 controller, COM2 is a ethernet port supporting
Modbus TCP/IP protocol that takes your control system to the Internet
world. COM3 is a RS232/RS485 device. It can be user-designed or can be
constructed as a RS485 Fbus network so that each I-84X7 / 88X7 controller
can access the data from other I-8xx7 controllers on the same Fbus
network, therefore becoming a Distributed Control System. COM4 is a RS232
device that can be user-designed.
 The I-7000 and I-87K series are also
supported by the I-8xx7 and I-7188EG/XG
controllers. Through the RS485 port of the I-8xx7 (COM3) and I-7188EG/XG
(COM2) controllers, I-7000 / I-87K series modules can be used as remote
I/Os, controlled by the I-8xx7 and I-7188EG/XG.
The third advantage is that integration with HMI software and
MMI become easy and powerful when using the Modbus protocol.
Iconics, Intouch, FIX, Wizcon, Citect, Labview, Lablink, Modbus OPC
server ... are all examples of HMI software. MMI is similar to the Touch
506/509/510 touch panel or any hardware or software that support Modbus
protocol.

Features
-
Data log : data,
date & time can be stored at S256/S512 for I-8xx7, while X607/X608
for I-7188EG/XG, and then PC can load these data via RS232/RS485,
ethernet & Modem.

MMICON:
ICP DAS's Man Machine Interface
The
I-8417/8817/8437/8837 & I-7188EG/XG support the ICP DAS's MMICON
to become their Man Machine Interface. The MMICON is featured with a
240 x 64 dot LCD and a 4 x 4 Keyboard. User can use it to display
picture, string, integer, float, and input a character, string,
integer and float. All control logic is written in ISaGRAF program.

COM4 of the
I-8417/8817/8437/8837 controller supports full modem signals. It has
embedded the Modem_Link protocol for remotely download and monitoring.
All you have to do is to dial a phone call from your PC to the faraway
controller to monitor every information you want.

Quick
LD Editor
The Ladder Diagram (LD) is one of the
most familiar methods of representing logical equations and simple
actions. Furthermore contacts representing input arguments and coils
representing output results are utilized.
The ISaGRAF Quick LD Editor offers you
the best compromise between high level graphic capabilities and easy
to use keyboard driven programming.
With the ISaGRAF graphic editing tools
the user can mix LD and FBD programming on the same chart. Any
function or function block of the library can be called from this
editor. |
 |
FBD Editor
The Function Block Diagram (FBD) is a
graphics-based language which allows the user to build complex
procedures by taking existing function blocks from the ISaGRAF
library, and wiring them together on the screen. ISaGRAF includes a
library with more than 60 standard blocks ready to use. And others are
available from each target's blocks. For ex. The ICP 8xx7 series.
|
 |
SFC Editor
The Sequential Function Chart (SFC)
divides the process cycle into a number of well-defined steps,
separated by transitions. SFC is the core language of the IEC61131-3
standard. The other languages are used to describe the actions
performed within the steps and the logical conditions for the
transitions. Parallel processes can be easily described using SFC.
|
 |
Structured Text Editor
Structured Text (ST) is a high level
structured language with a syntax similar to Pascal but more intuitive
to the automation engineer. This language is mainly used to implement
complex procedures that cannot be easily expressed with graphics-based
languages (IF / THEN / ELSE, FOR, WHILE...).
|
 |
Instruction List Editor
Instruction List (IL) is a low-level language, similar to the simple-
text PLC languages. In August
1996,
the ISaGRAF IL editor received the certificate of PLCopen compliance
with a class-rating of IEC61131-3.
|
 |
Flow Chart Editor
Flow Chart (FC) is a non-IEC61131-3
language. It was added into ISaGRAF in 1998 beginning with Version
3.3. FC is a graphics-based language. It combines "test" , "action" ,
"flow", and other mechanisms to perform a control process
