Entertron
reintroduces the concept of FREE
PLC programming software. As a company, Entertron
was first to offer Free PLC programming software
way back in 1984. Our competitors charge anywhere
from $100 to $1500+ for PLC programming software.
Some even charge a yearly maintenance / upgrade
fee or a site / user license fee. If you are an
OEM and you send the software to your customers,
you must pay for multiple user licenses.
Entertron is once again changing the way business
is done. PLC Software is just one part of the
equation when considering a PLC for your
application. We believe that once you have
purchased (or in Entertron's case received) the
software, you shouldn't be required to purchase
it again and again and again, when the PLC
manufacturer comes out with the latest and
greatest version.
Although
what we are offering is probably not as
sophisticated or as flashy as our competitor's
PLC programming software package, we are
providing a fairly comprehensive package with
some nice features.

Eware32
is Entertron's latest relay ladder logic
programming software. One package for all our
controllers:
One
Step Configuration Set up for The Smart-PAK
series, SK1600-RIC and Elite-2000 series of
ePLCs.
Built
on a Microsoft Windows 32 bit platform, Eware32
can be operated on the following operating
systems:
| Eware32
provides both a simple yet comprehensive
programming package, providing an
uncomplicated method of program creation
in conjunction with documentation, thus
offering a comprehensive package for the
sole purpose of PLC program development. There
are three separate operating modes within
Eware32:
- Ladder
Mode - For creation of ladder
diagram
- Simulator
Mode - For off line simulation
- Online
Mode - For download and
monitoring of PLC through RS232

program on the Left hand side of the
ladder rung. You have
the ablitity to create your own labels
(nick names) through the software and
thus display both at the same time within
the ladder editor.

| Entertron's
software setup is unique in that we do
not provide a set number of timers or
counters. Instead, we have created TC
registers that can be set up as either a
timer or counter. Other controllers
provide a set number of timers and
counters...therefore if you run out of
one, but have plenty of another, you are
stuck. |
| |
|
| Simulator
and Online Modes: |
| |
| The Simulator and
Online Monitoring display in the same
manner. Both functions are enabled
through the "view" option on
the top menu bar. Eware32 can operate in
only one mode at a time. Both
functions offer ladder flow capability
whereby all current flow is identified by
the color red. (When utilizing our ModBus
O/S, ladder flow is not available.)

The table monitor
can be found at the bottom of your ladder
diagram for both Simulation and Online
Modes. The table monitor provides you
with the following information:
- Accumulator
- Input

- Output

Entertron's
Relay Ladder Logic Programming Software offers
many features that you would not expect to find
in "Free" Software.
Still
available from our web site are older versions of
Entertron's software, including our DOS
programming software. Both are located at our Customer
