CONFIG
Designed by Contec Systems,
dataSOFT CONFIG is a unique
Windows software application that allows you to re-configure and
customize your PLC’s program and subsequent operation of the CEM
Systems without relying on the original Programmable Logic
Controller (PLC) vendor for changes to your programming.
NO
NEED TO KNOW LADDER LOGIC IN ORDER
TO
PROGRAM YOUR PLC
Contec’s
standard dataSOFT CONFIG ladder logic program contains hundreds of
pre-programmed operating sequences which control the sampling, calibration,
and housekeeping cycles of your system without requiring the knowledge of PLC
ladder logic programming or vendor assistance.
A
software companion to Contec’s dataSOFT SUITE environmental data acquisition
software, dataSOFT CONFIG has numerous setup windows containing
easy to use matrix tables and sequence timing delays.
You
simply construct the sequential operating requirements of your PLC
by selecting which digital outputs will be
energized during each operating sequence and how long to keep the outputs
energized before moving to the next sequence.
You
can even change when the PLC records zero and span calibration data or to
use digital inputs to record the zero and span data from Opacity or Stack Flow
Monitors.
Additionally,
dataSOFT CONFIG will allow you to shut down the sample pump or
to prevent a calibration cycle based upon the presence or absence of digital
inputs that may be connected to sample pressure or moisture monitoring
devices.
Once
you have configured dataSOFT CONFIG, a simple click of the Save
button
will download the new configuration to the PLC. The PLC ladder logic will
automatically configure the PLC’s operation of the CEM to your new
requirements.

CONFIG communicates with Allen Bradley’s PLC based hardware families.
