PLCDesigner - WYSIWYG tool

The Windows design software PLCDesigner (WYSIWYG) makes it easy to create complete screen layouts. With the help of the macro editor, functional sequences can be defined. The properties of all objects (position, size, angle) are easily adjustable.

The touch functionality is also supported by uniTFTDesigner, so you can create radio groups, sliders, bar-graphs and simple touch-buttons. Touching a button may switch to a new screen or start a macro.

An integrated simulator shows immediately the real screen including functionality. Also the digital and analogue inputs and outputs will be simulated.

A comprehensive debug-function and the integrated help function round off this package.

To get an overview of the tool and the PLC and uniTFT family you will find a lot of short explanatory videos in our uniTFTacademy.
The PLCDesigner offers a lot of possibilities to easily implement tasks that seem difficult. Like for example individual meters, line recorders or screen transitions from one screen to the next.
