Additional Features 
- IEC-61131 languages Ladder Logic with Function Blocks and Sequential Function Charts (SFC) 
- Standard IEC data types (INT< TIME, BOOL, DWORD) and Counter – Timer Function Blocks. 
- All PMAC on-line commands are available in the IEC environment. 
- Enhanced motor jogging and homing commands give user handshakes to ease program complexity. 
- New PMAC DATA TYPES INT24 (integer 24 bit) and REAL48 (PMAC float) for maximum computational power. 
- Input & Output support for all PMAC hardware (I, M, P, Q variables), MACRO and direct access to X, Y, and DPR memory. 
- Testing environment that allows starting, stopping, downloading, setting and monitoring of variables in a watch window or logic power flow 
- Simulation mode for developing your program on the PC without PMAC hardware 
- Printing of Ladder and SFC programs with user defined forms that include bit maps 
- PMAC serial port dedicated for IEC communication 
- New bit masking functions to ease programming complexity 
- Works simultaneously with internal PMAC PLCs and motion programs 
- Pre-mapped memory locations. User just accesses INPUT1 instead of searching for a memory address.
