Program even more efficiently with JetSym 4.4
For more than ten years now, the automation specialist Jetter has been providing a tool to automation specialists, with which control applications can be programmed easily and in plain text. This tool is JetSym, with the plain text, high-level language JetSym STX. The latest 4.4 version contains a range of innovations that make programming and commissioning even more efficient.
The Motion Setup has been completely revised and can be used for monitoring individual axes. Special attention has been paid in this regard to operability. Input values outside of the intended value range are depicted in red. When selecting the motor, it will be displayed whether different sets of parameters apply to the selected motor. This takes place dependent on the DC link voltage with which it is operated. On the motion setup pages, the user is supported by a graphic representation of the travel range and by a simple mini-oscilloscope.
A new autotext function offers the user a range of predefined commands, in which only the variable names need to be entered. This means typical syntax errors can be avoided as early as during the creation of the program's code. The user can also create his or her own sets of commands.
In addition, there is a range of other helpful features. For example, up to 32 channels can now be displayed in the oscilloscope. Further innovations relate to the program editor, the display of variables in the setup window and library management.
