<strong>Introduction</strong>:<br />
The most straight forward way to introduce someone to the world of PLC programming is to start<br />
with Fupla programming. Fupla (FUnction PLAn) is a graphical environment which enables you<br />
to draw your programs rather then write them.<br />
Every instruction is represented by an icon which we call an FBox (Function BOX). The programming<br />
itself is simply done by drawing the connection between these different FBoxes. We<br />
do have several hundred of these boxes available. These boxes are organized by libraries. The<br />
basic library is installed standard with the PG5. Other libraries can be added later:<br />
The other libraries you can buy are:<br />
HVAC library: A set of over 200 FBoxes for heating applications.<br />
MODEM library: Enables you to use one or several modems with your PLC. This enables<br />
you to build a network of PLC’s, exchanging data over the telephone line. You can<br />
send SMS or pager messages, and you can even use a remote control with your PLC<br />
using the dial tone of your telephone.<br />
FBoxes for special I/O modules. A lot of our I/O cards such as motor control cards<br />
(Hxx) are delivered with a set of Fboxes. With the help of these FBoxes you can set up<br />
your hardware within minutes.<br />
