General

The programming and test software 907 PC 33 serves to create programs for the

 ABB Procontic T200, ABB Procontic CS31 and Advant Controller 31 programmable

 logic controllers (PLCs). An installation program that functions largely automatically i

nstalls the software package on the PC.

This specification is valid for 907 PC 331/332. Following table gives

 an overview of the different PLC systems and the pertinent software packages:

PLC system programmable with:

ABB Procontic T200 907 PC 332

ABB Procontic CS31 907 PC 331

Advant Controller 31 907 PC 331

The programming and test software 907 PC 33 is executable on

commercially available, IBM–compatible personal computers with the following technical features:

● at least 4 Mbyte RAM for optimum performance 

● Hard disk drive 

● Diskette drive, 3 1/2”, 1.44 MB 

● EIA RS–232 serial interface for the PLC system 

● Parallel or second serial interface for printer 

● MS–DOS operating system V5.0 or higher 

● Optionally a mouse for fast cursor control

The programming and test software 907 PC 33 permits simple and economical programming of PLC programs in the following notations:

● Function block diagram (FBD) 

● Ladder diagram (LD) 

● Instruction list (IL)

Both symbolic and absolute program input is possible. The PLC program is 

supplemented by symbolic designators, long text and comment. Auxiliary

 and error messages that can be called at all times, and also a syntax check, 

facilitate program input. Program creation as an FBD or LD takes place in a joint

 editor. Therefore, elements from the FBD and LD can be mixed and can also be li

nked to each other.
