WindCFG Ver.1.00

Welcome to WindCFG!

WindCFG is a system configuration tool that you can use to create a layout of your project showing each component (i.e. PLC, Operator Interface, Barcode Reader, etc.). You can then configure each component and launch software applications related to those components such as WindO/I-NV2 (IDEC OI programming software) and WindLDR (IDEC PLC programming software). WindCFG also allows Tag and Comment sharing between WindO/I-NV2 and WindLDR. In addition, it enables you to visually see your project layout and assists in creating project documentation.

WindCFG highlights:

Tag and Comment Sharing Between WindLDR & WindO/I-NV2 You can share Tags or Comments allocated to Device Addresses in WindCFG between program files for WindLDR and WindO/I-NV2.

Create WindLDR & WindO/I-NV2 Program files with Basic Settings

Program files can be created for WindLDR and WindO/I-NV2 in WindCFG using components, port connections, and cables.

Easy Management of Program Files.

WindCFG provides centralized management of program files for each component for WindLDR and WindO/I-NV2.

Easy System Configuration

You can create a layout with an Operator Interface, PLC and other system components by easily dragging and dropping each component. You can also select component models and various parameter settings.

Additional Functions Review wiring diagrams for connections between components. Preparation of BOM (Bill of Material) for system components. Output a system configuration file in RTF format.


[New feature/Improvement]

The following functions are introduced to WindO/I-NV2 Version 4.00.
