Key Benefits
The nV-Tool is programming software that is uniformly used across all of Toshiba's industrial and process controllers. It is the only programming tool required to fully develop, test and debug application programs. Its versatility, ease of use, and a built-in library of pre-tested application function blocks allow the programmer to quickly deploy application solutions. The CPU can store the complete program, with documentation, or just the run-time application.
IEC 61131-3 Programming Environment
The nV-Tool uses a full graphic editor to place, arrange and relocate symbols on the worksheet. It makes automatic connections, line crossings, and groundings. The nV-Tool supports IEC 61131-3 compliant
LD/FBD/SFC/ST languages. Multiple languages can be used on the same worksheet (block).
Troubleshooting
A variety of features are available for maintaining and support of the type1 light program. The online graphic editor shows LD power flow, FB values, and SFC active steps. The Synchro Trend, I/O force and data monitor are also very useful in troubleshooting.
An event log monitors and records every change in the system status
Custom Graphic Symbols
The nV-Tool has a symbol editor for the creation of detailed graphic symbols unique to specific items of equipment or special functions.
Function blocks can they be replaced with graphic symbols for easier visual comprehension of program action and flow.
Examples of graphic symbols include ASDs, Lead-Lag-Stand-by arrangements, Motor Starters, Valve Controllers, etc.
XML Import/Export
The XML file import/export function allows the exchange of programs between different V Series/nv series controllers. A project can grow as needed or split out into separate controllers if required. XML files are compliant with the industry-standard PLCopen XML Schema Ver. 1.0.
