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 installs 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

linked to each other.

Features

The scope of features and functions listed depends on individual PLCs’ capabilities.

Menu prompting

● Modern, clearly–arranged menu interface employing

pop–up menus
