PresentationThe right tool for all phases of your project

Design : structured variables, libraries of FFBs and 5 IEC languages to develop your application program

Debug : a PLC simulator and high level of debug services to test and debug your program

Operation : operator screens and diagnostic viewer to monitor and control your process

Maintenance : on-line modifications to update your application program

Openness : use of XML format


Unity Pro is a full featured software package

All platforms benefit of the whole richness of the features5 IEC languagesStandardization capabilities

Through data : unlocated variables, structures and arraysThrough program : sections of program, user function blocks, functional modules

Multitasking capabilitiesMAST, FAST and AUX tasksEvent triggered treatments

Functional view to map your application to the process

With the possibility to bring more value through the opennessInterface to any client application through XML format

Design

Design your Program


Embedded PLC simulatorNo hardware constraints to debug your programProvide the same execution capabilities as a PLCPossibility to use function blocks of IO management library to simulate

%I, %IW, %ID and %IF inputs (WRITE_INPUT_EBOOL, WRITE_INPUT_INT, )

An large set of debug servicesPower flow animation for graphical languagesBreakpoint and step by step to test and debug the programWatch point to know the real time value of a variableSFC monitoring of step activity timesColor used during execution progress (boolean variables, steps,

transitions, )

Debug

Debug your Application


Visualize and control the application with operator screensGraphical and animated view of your process

PLC and module diagnostic through configuration editor

Integrated system and application diagnostic accessible through the built-in diagnostic viewerNo programming requiredDisplay defaults saved in the PLC with source time stampingFault cause analysis to find origin of process defaultPossibility to acknowledge

Upward compatibility of the PLC applicationsLast version of Unity Pro supports the installed base design with

the previous versions

Operation

Maintenance

Operate and Maintain your Application


OpennessCreate links between the project and external documents Import / Export all or part of application in XML formatRe-use the knowledge base developed with legacy software


Design and combined your standards to develop yourapplication in short time

Manage and share your standards

Describe the process through functional approach

Debug and adjust your application directly on your PC to reduce commissioning time

Use embedded diagnostic to reduce downtime

Manage all process data in the PLC

Dont Reinvent the wheel each Time


Arrange PLC data according to the processData structures and multi-dimensional arraysUnlocated variables to create standard databases

without memory mappingReusability simple through standards in libraries

and import / export features

Move to a component approach in design withDerived function blocks (DFB)Create standards of your often used logicCombine these standards to design more

complex logic (nested DFB)Protect your know-how

Combine your Standards


Organize your standards in user libraries and familiesLibrary manager is the repository of your

standards

Share your standards to developpersStandards are accessible to all programmersBe sure that your application contains the right

version Comparison of project to the libraryVersioning to trace modifications

Make modifications only to the model (type)All instances are automatically updated

Share your Standards


Break down your application into functionalmodules close to the process

Use modular functional modules to describe a complex machineTree description with nested modular modulesEasy to find the right information through the

functional description of your application

Reduce design time to create custom machines by combination of existing functional modulesCreate standardized functional modulesExport / import modulesWizard to manage variables when reusing a

module

Think Process and not PLC


Debug your program without hardwareSimulate the PLC on your PCAll debug tools are available

Use embedded services to reducecommissioning timeGraphical operator screens to display the behavior

of the machine or processQuick access to additional documents about

application through hyperlinks (documentation, wiring diagrams, )

Basic Micro

Debug and Adjust the Application on your PC


Use embedded diagnostic without programmingHardware and program diagnostic are easy

through clear messagesChoice of language for system messagesTime stamping and navigation to the root cause

Access to advanced diagnostic through functionblocksTo monitor a movement or any execution of the

processFault cause analysis

Diagnostic through Web pages accessible via Ethernet port

Reduce Downtime during Operation


Some memory cards can save data files accessible from the PLC application throughfunction blocksCreate / delete filesGet / modify file attributesRead / write data

Use Ethernet / FTP to upload / download filesMemory card is managed as FTP serverUse Unity Loader or a standard tool (Internet

Explorer FTP Client) to exchange with the memorycard
