EZ-ASCE
EZ Design Studio automation software is a scalable development system and real-time control engine that runs re-usable program application code on the AppSrvCE controller.

The distributed architecture offers a central database for program development, debugging and monitoring which provides security and allows users backup capability.

Development Environment
• EZ Design Studio to configure and program control applications
• IEC Languages and Standard Function Library
• User-Defined Functions
• Re-useable Program Objects
• Portable Application Code
• Scalable Controllers
• Task Objects and Task Management
• Use any combination of the five IEC 61131-3 programming languages in one control application:
- Sequential Function Chart for machine sequencing control and for control applications that have multiple operating modes, such as manual mode and automatic mode.
- Ladder Diagram (Relay Ladder Logic) for discrete logic programs.
- Function Block Diagram for analog signal processing and any control process or algorithm that runs on a continuous basis.
- Structured Text for complex algorithms, string and file operations, and manipulation of data structures best done in a procedural (text based) language.
- Instruction List for compact assembly language-like programming.
- Function Library includes all defined IEC 61131-3 functions and function blocks and is augmented with many custom developed functions.
• Create your own functions and function block libraries in 'C' and import them into EZ Design Studio to further enhance functionality.
• Re-useable programs and configurations.
• Central database for storage and management of all program objects.
• Node Templates and Object Archive to easily duplicate and re­use all or parts of existing programs and configurations.
• Libraries simplify re-using functions and function blocks.
• Run the same application code regardless of software platform: Windows XP, Windows CE.
• A minimum hardware platform is required to run the Portable Application Code. You can scale the hardware features to meet the needs of the application by upgrading with a faster processor, additional program memory, flash memory (only Industrial Grade Compact Flash should be used), retentive memory, and other components.
• Place a program object in one or more tasks and have it run continuously, periodically at the task scan rate, or periodically at the I/O scan rate.
• Networking and Remote multi-node programming. Each controller is a node
• Distributed Control on the network. You can easily distribute control applications among nodes to control loading and have control at the point of operation. Controllers communicate with each other over the network.
• On-Line Monitoring. Observe control application program operation graphically and in real-time, within the same editors used to create the control application programs.
• Integrated Watch Window to watch and force variables
• Control Node Monitor to observe node status (running, faults, statistics). Monitoring and HMI can run on the development station, the monitor station, or locally at the embedded node.
• Online Help Tutorials and sample applications are provided to assist you in quickly learning to use EZ Design Studio.
