ioControl
ioControl is a graphical, flowchart-based programming tool for
industrial automation, remote monitoring, and data acquisition
applications. Using ioControl, you create, download, and run control
programs on a supported industrial standalone or on-the-rack
controller. Flowchart-based programming lets you write control
strategies visually.
ioControl Basic includes both flowchart and OptoScript
programming, subroutines, a graphical debugger, and
approximately 400 commands.
ioControl Professional has about 500 commands. ioControl Pro
adds the following features:

ioControl Strategy
ioControl provides the tools you need to create control strategies to
automate industrial processes. ioControl automatically downloads
your strategy to the memory of an appropriate Opto 22 controller
or controller/brain, which uses its own processor’s control engine to
run the strategy as a standalone application. You can easily modify
the program when necessary using ioControl; however, you can
turn off your PC or use it for other applications while the control
engine runs the program.
A strategy is usually composed of a series of process flowcharts or
charts, each of which controls one aspect of the automated process.
Each chart is made up of blocks connected by arrows, which show
how the process flows. Each block in a chart contains one or more
instructions, such as Convert Number to String or Start Counter or
Chart Running? The shape of the block indicates its function. For
example, a rectangle is an action, while a diamond is a condition.
Using a time-slicing technique called multitasking, the Opto 22
SNAP PAC S-series I/O control engine can run up to 32 charts
simultaneously. This allows many more charts to be included
in the strategy.
