Stage programming keeps the sequence in order
RLLPLUS Stage programming can help break a control
problem into smaller pieces and provide such benefits
as:
• Stages divide the ladder program into sections that
correspond to the states in a flowchart of your process
• Stages help make large programs more manageable by
giving them some structure
• Your stage program can have more than one “thread” of
execution. For example, you can have an alarm reporting
mini-stage program (or recipe handler, data acquisition,
etc.) running in parallel with the main logic. This makes
stageprogramming very powerful, because most of the
control functions in a system are very asynchronous
Can I ship a copy to my customer?
No, except for a single backup copy, you
cannot make, install, or distribute any
additional copies. You can transfer the
original copy (original CD, any applicable
upgrades, and any documentation) by
taking advantage of our Web registration
and ownership transfer site.
Of course, this means you cannot legally
keep a copy once you have transferred
the original.

PLC compatibility
If you’re using our LOGIC products,
then compatibility is not an issue. All
SOFT5 packages support all
LOGIC CPUs. Our software also
supports many compatible products that
were offered by previous vendors of the
Koyo-designed PLCs. If you’re buying the
software to program a compatible CPU,
check the following table to make sure
your CPU is supported. (Sorry, but if your
CPU is not shown, then it is not
supported.)
