Modicon Modernization Solutions Upgrade your Modicon PLC while retaining your 984 LL programming
Your need You’re looking for cost-effective and risk-free methods of preserving your hardware and programming investment while extending component life and improving your productivity and manufacturing process.
Our solution Providing an upgrade path between control applications developed in your existing Modicon software (Modsoft, Concept, or ProWorX) using 984 ladder logic, and Schneider Electric’s present and future PLC software Unity Pro.
Unity V5.1 LL984 Objectives of the offer • Provide you with a simple upgrade path for your Modicon PLCs • Preserve your investment in Lader Logic programming applications • Program in Unity with your known 984 style • Take full benefit of Unity Pro What is the offer? • Integration of a sixth language for Unity – Modicon LL984 • …allowing the import of your 984 applications into Unity
Improve your developed programming with new capabilities • Keep • Your unique algorithms • The same familiar interface • Add • Improved throughput • Reduced downtime • Better process visibility
Our value proposition Before import Save prior investment in 984 LL application development • highly evolved applications are retained Risk-free softwaremigration • applications are imported versus converted • limited commissioning Plant operators/maintenance use the same interface • Unity 984LL editor has the same look and feel • limited or no training Future-proof • Unity gives access to the latest networks and technology roadmap on your investment schedule • Allows hybrid applications (applications can be written with all 6 editors) Reduced cost of ownership • Increased reliability & uptime After import
What’s New in Unity Pro V5.1? Software Offer – a 6th editor (984LL) for Unity: • Run 984LL programs on the Quantum Unity PLC platform • Import 984LL application versus converting or rewriting the application • Modsoft, Concept, Proworx NxT, ProWorx32 984LL programs are accepted for import • Any PLC platform that runs 984LL may be converted by hardware upgrade • Guaranteed sequencing and execution of code • Enable online“ changing, within Unity rules • „Hybrid“ applications are possible – ie multiple languages simultaneously for a single application • User ergonomy for 984LL same as Concept/ProworX Scenario description: • A new LL-Editor (6th language) -- 11 x 7, 3 node representation of FBs • Virtually all 984 instructions are supported • Performance can be reached or exceeded • State flow as well as power flow animation (during runtime) • Use of flat addressing (%M100) • Latched coils like in 984LL (introduce non-latched coils to Unity) • EMTH & PCFL, XMIT, STAT and other system functions
Enjoy the benefits ofUnity™ Pro with LL984 The only programmingtool you need to fully develop, test, debug, manage, and maintainyour industrial Modicon PLCs witha broad range of functionality and collaborative tools: • An easy-to-use graphical user interface • A built-in library of pre-tested application function blocks • Datatypes and structures (DDT) • Customizable, user-developed function blocks • Improved platform collaboration with intuitive diagnostics to eliminate errors • Choice of 5 IEC programming languages + integrated 984 Ladder Logic as the sixth programming language • Compliance with international standard for PLC programming EN61131-3 Improved performance Greater flexibility Easier collaboration
A quick demo of the import You will see that it’s: Demo file to be insert • Fast during the import • Safe as all elements of the application are imported • Easy to adopt as it looks the same as a real LL984
What will you gainwith your LL984 in Unity Pro ? • An Selectively update your PLC hardware without rewritingyour programming • Support the 984 instruction set and the 984 execution behaviour • Move to new technology step by step without downtime,allowing your maintenance staff the time to learn the new functionalities • Create hybrid applications by expanding an existing LL984program with other IEC PLC programming languages best suited for the task. Unity Pro software is a key Component of PlantStruxure Designed with you and for you, to help you meet your chalelenges of engineering productivity, Operator efficiency, and sustainability.
Evolve to Better plant performance begins with better automation Open access to the latest networks and technology development Ethernet interfaces for I/O expansion and device connectivity with minimal installation cost Direct connectivity to SCADA, MES and ERP systems for better decision making and energy management opportunities Increased reliability and uptime
Upgrade to the new Modicon PLC Risk-free modernization • No programming – import the old PLC application • Wiring adapters – save the existing wires • Fail-back strategy Cost-effectivemodernization • Minimum down time – change a PLC in 1-2 hours • Stepwise – partial migrations • Limited commissioning • Reduced cost of ownership Extensive capabilities of PlantStruxure • State-of-the-art today • Flexible and easy evolution for the next generation Risk-free Cost-effective Bright Future
