Introduction
The Berger Lahr programming system is based on the programming professional software CoDe-Sys of the independent software company, 3S Smart Software Solutions GmbH.CoDeSys corresponds to the PLC standard IEC61131-3. CoDeSys is one of the leading development tools for programmable automation components. More than 100 manufacturers of hardware components are now using CoDeSys for industrial automation.Berger Lahr is expanding the basic functions of CoDeSys with a large number of func- tion blocks. Some of the function blocks correspond to PLC open standards 1 and 2, the rest are specific developments for Berger Lahr Motion controllers.Using CoDeSys as the basis for the Berger Lahr programming system offers decisive advantages for application programming:•Non-proprietary programming of different control systems with a single tool•Installation of only one programming environment for programming all products from the more and 100 system partners of the CoDeSys Automation Alliance•No dependency on a single supplier•Reduced training costs•Continuous further development of the programming system, independently of the ongoing developments by individual hardware manufacturersThe CD-ROM with the Berger Lahr programming system contains:•CoDeSys installation files and configuration files for all Berger Lahr Motion Con-trollers•Block libraries including SoftMotion and PLCopen blocks for CANopen drives from Berger Lahr as well as blocks for CANopen based on CiA DS405 for linking any CANopen devices•Online help (German, English) for each Motion Controller and for each function block•Documentation (PDF) for Berger Lahr Motion Controllers and drives •CoDeSys runs on a PROFESSIONAL PC with MS Windows 2000, NT and XP Professional opera-ting system.The online help and the documentation can be viewed without installing the program-ming system.
