Are you a PLC programmer or an electrician?
How many times have you had to walk back and forth to check for the right PLC wiring of all limit switches, sensors, push buttons, selectors, etc?
Now you can count on Runmode's S7 I/O Test Assistant!
This smart utility keeps constantly an eye on the whole PLC input area, and if any change is detected:
- It speaks the input address (e.g. "input one five two dot four, off"), so you can test the inputs without having to look at the PLC cards or having anybody doing it for you.
- It displays the input address in wide characters on the screen, along with its logical status, so you can easily read it from distance.
- It checks the inputs activation sequential order, so you can just check your electric drawings page after page while testing the inputs, being alerted if you skipped a point.
- It logs all the activities both to a on-screen list box and to a text file that can be analyzed at a later time, printed and attached to your commissioning report.
More, the S7 IO Test Assistant helps you even when you need to test the digital outputs, turning on and off outputs at your precise command.
