Workspace

• Step1:

– Move cursor to “Main Program” item and click mouse button (right button)

– Select <New POU…>

How to create a POU (Program) in a project

• The rule of POUs naming– Must be combined by letter, digits or underline.– The first character must be letter or underline.– Case-insensitive – Two consecutive underline are not permitted, such as ‘__POU1’ 或 ‘ POU__1’– Underline can’t place in the rear, such as ‘POU1_’– Max length is 16 characters

How to create a POU (Program) in a project

• Step2:

– Key in POU name

– Select task

– Set password (if need)

How to create a POU (Program) in a project

If task is ‘none’, then this POU will not be executed.

Others language are not allow to select because of machine type

POU comment

How to create a POU (Function Block) in a project

• Step1:– Move cursor to “Function Block” item and click mouse button (right button)– Select <New POU…>

If checked, the function block will has ‘En’ and ‘Eno’ pin

• If EN/ENO item is checked

• If EN/ENO item isn’t checked

How to create a POU (Function Block) in a project

Move cursor to Global Variables node, and double click it.Global variable table will be opened.

Global variable

• Global variables are created for the entire project

• They have global scope, so they are accessible from all POUs

Retentive Memory SettingVariable Allocation Setting

Double click ‘Variables Allocation’ item to open a setting dialog

Double click ‘Retentive Memory’ item to open a setting dialog

• Variable Allocation

– In ISPSoft, every kind of devices need to reserve part of area for the system. Those areas are for function block memory allocation.

– If users use those part of devices, ISPSoft will show error message when compiling.

– If the reserve devices is insufficient, ISPSoft will show linking errors when compiling.

ISPSoftFunction Block Import/Export

ISPSoftFunction Block Import/Export

• FBs export

– Only the POUs in Function Block item can be exported.

– A exported file can contain several POUs.

– Password protected

• FBs import

– If the file has a password protected. You need to key in the correct password while importing.

– System doesn’t allow two POUs with the same name.

FBs Import/Export

• FBs Import/Export

FBs Import/Export

All of the FBs in the project will be listed over here . Check it if you want to export that FB

If password is set.The system will ask users to key in password when users import this POUs file,

Global variables Import/Export

• Step:

– Move cursor to “Global variables” item and click mouse button (right button)

– Select < Import Global Variable…>

• Global variables import

Global variables Import/Export

If the file exist the same variable in this global variable table. System will ask users whether replace it.

Ask users whether users want to clear all of the variable before importing

If the file exist the same variable in this global variable table. It will replace the current variables.

If the file exist the same variable in this global variable table. The variables in this file will be discarded

Used Device Report

• Step:

– Move cursor to “Used Device report” node and click mouse button (right button)

– The “Used Device report” can’t be opened until the project compiles correct. Otherwise, the system will show error message as below.

• Before open ‘dvp’ format file, make sure the IL code exist and correct. Otherwise, the system will show error message.

• After translate from dvp to isp format. The codes might increase.

program device comment …. Etc.• Online mode: Connect to PLC and enter monitoring mode. The editor will

become read only.• Online change mode: The editor will become writable in monitoring mode.• Send Change: Send changed code to PLC in monitoring mode.• Device Monitoring: A form to monitor device by key in device name that

you want to monitor• Force X ON: X device can be force set

Force X Device On

• Check and Compile– Check : Check current POU. To check the grammar of codes.– Compile : Check all POUs. If there have function blocks, the compiler will al

location memory for each function block instance. Then adjust tasks to control the running sequence of POU (Program)

• Only when pass the compiling, It can enter the online mode

Check and Compile

Check Compile

• PC =>PLC– If ‘Comment and Variables’ item isn’t checked. The system

will only transfer execution code to PLC.

– If ‘Comment and Variables’ is checked. Not only execution code, but also extra information will be download to PLC
