Control FPWIN Pro PLC programming software
Matsushita's latest generation of IEC 1131-3 software is NAiS Control FPWIN Pro, which can be used to program all Matsushita FP series PLCs.
Advantages of NAiS Control FPWIN Pro include extended features, a more user-friendly software environment, and drastically improved performance up to three times faster than previous configurations. In addition the new software combines four IEC 1131-3 programming languages in one software package and also enables the user to generate their own function and function blocks, thus saving time on programming and debugging.
The comfortable user interfaces and help menus can be accessed via integrated wizards, and structured programming can become a reality as the programmer is placed in a project-orientated environment. All of the advantages associated with 32-bit operating systems such as long file and path names are also included in the software.
To qualify for your free demo CD of the NAiS Control FPWIN Pro, please call Matsushita Electric Works on +44 (0)1908 350700 (UK).
