An IDEC PLC will save you both. All IDEC micro controllers are programmable with WindLDR® ladder logic software. This icon-driven programming tool combines logic and intuition with an incredibly easy-to-use interface to allow you to take advantage of every MicroSmart feature. Even without ladder program experience, you can use the built-in editors, shortcuts and debuggers to configure programs. Lose the extra costs of engineering, installation and maintenance and get right to work!

WindLDR® is an excellent, long-term investment for your control solutions. It programs every IDEC PLC, so it’s adaptable to whatever hardware you need today and down the road. Software upgrades are always free for registered users.

Online editing and programming

Shutting down for minor changes can be a major hassle, so WindLDR allows you to edit and download programs while the PLC is still in Run mode. You’ll be able to write new values to counters, timers and registers at any time without switching between editor mode (for programming) and monitor mode.

(Requires Flash 8 plug-in - 403KB)

Simulation Mode

Test your program in WindLDR to guarantee that it works the way you expected, rather than downloading it to your PLC for a test run.

(Requires Flash 8 plug-in - 213KB)

Custom Monitor Dialog

Compile and enter a list of the parameters you want to monitor, then save it and access it again and again, instead of reentering your data every time.

Simple-to-use editors

Use the tag editor to access and edit coil data. Edit comments and rung comments. Simulation mode Test your program in WindLDR to guarantee that it works the way you expected, rather than downloading it to your PLC for a test run.

Comment download

When you transfer your program to the PLC, you have the option to include any accompanying comments too. User programs can be downloaded with the comments attached to operands and rungs; the documentation is stored in the processor. With comment data, you can review programming codes for clarification and streamlined maintenance. Custom monitor dialog boxCompile and enter a list of parameters you want to monitor, then save it and access it again and again, instead of re-entering your data every time.

Verify Program

Compare programs between PLC and PCThis great debugging tool allows you to run a comparison without uploading the whole program from the PLC back to your PC. If there’s a chance your program has been corrupted or tampered with, that’s a chance you don’t want to take.

User-friendly interfaces

Icon-based toolbars and drag-and-drop functionality make basic ladder programming accessible to anyone. But WindLDR also shows you how to display parameters and settings and how to input your parameters, and the built-in shortcuts and tutorials will keep you on the right track.
