New

  • IEC 61131-3 Structured Text on every LADV CPU: elementary and derived types, functions, function blocks, the standard library, tasks with priorities and events, RETAIN and warm restart, direct addresses.
  • A compiler that checks a program the way an engineering tool does, with the line and a suggestion for each error.
  • Runtime faults with codes and lines: watchdog, division by zero, index out of range, MUX selector, BCD, call depth.
  • Force and modify for both languages, with the MAINT lamp and log entries.
  • A watch table for every Structured Text variable.
  • Programs shared as links, which open in the lab editor.
  • Chat answers in Structured Text are checked by the LADV compiler and open in the lab with Run on LADV.

Limits

  • Structured Text only: FBD and SFC are not implemented.
  • No object-oriented extensions, references or namespaces.
  • LADV400 is planned and cannot run programs yet.
