Major enhancements in Steeplechase VLC 7.0 are designed to let users more easily create their control projects. Version 7.0 improvements include Connection tree and Connection Editor—a new method for defining devices—that simplify device and I/O definition and maintenance.
The Connection tree lets users quickly add and visualize defined interface cards, devices and I/O tags. The Connection tree is intimately linked to the Connection Editor that provides interface and device definition and configuration pages. It also lets users easily map I/O tags to available device points. Together, the Connection tree and Connection Editor dramatically improve development productivity—from development through debugging and system maintenance, according to the vendor. The new technique is backwards compatible with projects developed using older versions of the Steeplechase VLC Control Designer. Steeplechase VLC 7.0 is now available on ILC 350 and S-MAX series of embedded controllers from the vendor. With Target Manager, another feature added to Version 7.0, users can implement one version of a control project and target it to different systems.
