Your editors and wizards in SAFEPROG

When programming the application in SAFEPROG, you mainly work with two editors. However, wizards are additionally available so that you can concentrate on the most important work: the optimum application for your SafePLC!

The graphic editor

Select the methods that are best suited for your application and use the editor functions with which you develop your program code in FBD and or LD the fastest:

Mixing of the graphical languages LD and FBD in one worksheet
Aligning objects with an adjustable grid
Display of the execution order for blocks and networks
Inserting any number of new elements in already existing networks
Moving individual objects or entire object groups
Opening the codes of user-defined functions and FBs via double-clicking on the object icon
Different colors for functions and FBs of different origin (user FBs, IEC FBs, firmware FBs)
Easy operation of the editor also via the keyboard
Inserting functions and function blocks using the Edit Wizard
Tooltips with description of the process data item to which the variable is connected

The variables editor

Variable declarations are organized in grids with which the declarations can be handled much more easily and safely. Each grid line contains a variable or instance declaration, each grid column represents a variable property. This way the grid reflects the declaration syntax according to IEC 61131.

The variables grid provides decisive advantages:

Fast and easy declaration of variables and instances.
Selection of variable properties from combo boxes. This way syntax errors are avoided, as typing errors are excluded on the one hand and on the other hand, no illegal data types or data ranges can be selected.
Co-dependencies of different variable attributes are detected and taken into account, so that only meaningful settings can be defined.
Entries that are suspected being faulty (like for example variable names used twice or non-connected global variables) are detected by the editor and the respective fields are immediately highlighted in color.

The Edit Wizard

The Edit Wizard supports you when inserting and replacing functions and function blocks in worksheets. It sorts FBD elements clearly according to different criteria and lets you find the desired object quickly.

The Project Wizard

A new project is created using the Project Wizard which guides you through the creation process in four steps. This results in clarity and safety in the start phase, as during project creation the bus configurator project file is imported, if required with global variables. Afterwards, the bus project is displayed in the bus navigator and you can edit the parameters of the included safe devices with the device parameter editor and assign process data items to global I/O variables.
