  1. FST4 - The unique Programming System for Automation Now with LADDER and CPX Support

  2. FST4 – An Overview • Statement List and Ladder • CPX-FEC Configuration Tool • IF ... THEN ... ELSE • STEP • Multitasking • Programs/Functions/Function Blocks • Huge Set of Operands/Variables • Open Hardware Interface • Open Driver Interface/Open C Interface • TCP/IP Support • WEB Server

  3. Statement List and Ladder • Unreachable simple programming of sequential processes in Statement List • The graphical programming toolLadder Diagram is available too • Both programming languages can be mixed

  4. CPX-FEC Configuration Tool • Easy configuration of themodular Control System • System diagnostics integrated • Actual – Nominal – Comparison • Parametrize and Go! • Festo plug and work

  5. IF ... THEN ... ELSE • Programming as you think • Describe the process – andprogram simultaneously • Have a clear concept of SET / RESET • Program in relation to the automation task • IF Event • THEN SET Output • IF Other Event • THEN RESET Output

  6. STEP • Unreachable simple programming of sequential processes • More than 75% of all automation tasks are sequential tasks • No other textual language can program sequences as easy as FST • Much more compact than any graphic tool • Much better online help than any other method

  7. Multitasking • Unreachable simple method of multitasking • Program and Program Status gives complete control over simultaneous and alternative tasks • Up to 64 simultaneous tasks • Clear concept of task switching • Up to 100 function blocks may include steps • Up to 100 functions without step without task switch

  8. Set of operands • Almost unlimited set of operands/variables • Up to 64 programs, 100 functions, 100 function blocks • Up to 2048 inputs and 2048 outputs = 4096 I/Os • Up to 256 Timers / 256 Counters / 256 Registers • Up to 160,000 Flags (10,000 Flag Words)

  9. Open hardware interface • A script language describes the access to any hardware • New modules can be added at any time of a project • Module scripts may be updated at any time of a project

  10. Open driver interface/Open C interface • Driver interface • The PC based concept allows to call drivers before the FST kernel • The driver interface is open • New drivers can be added/updated at any time of a project • C interface • Open C interface to write functions in C/C++ • Completely open development system for high-level language

  11. TCP/IP support • FST supports Ethernet and TCP/IP for • Real Time communication between CPUs • Program up- and download • Debugging • Connection to the office world via DDE or OPC server

  12. Web IntraNet Ethernet Web Ethernet WEB Server • WEB server is available for all CPUs • Leading in WEB technology • WEB server for even the smallest CPU (FC34) • WEB server works simultaneously to the process control

  13. FST4 is tradition and future in one • More than 200.000 projects worldwide are programmed with any one of the FST versions • Thousands of FST customers worldwide • Hundreds of experienced FST programmers worldwide
