Using Smart Active Parts: just a few simple steps
Dramatically reduces the effort required to create ladder programming and screens.
A library with more than 2,000 Smart Active Parts is available, which can directly access OMRON PLCs and other devices. You can drag & drop
Smart Active Parts in an application in just 4 simple steps.
With Smart Active Parts you can for instance monitor device errors in understandable text, donwload parameters to devices and check Network
statuses without the need for a computer with software tools.
The SAP library also provides PLC I/O Unit Troubleshooter SAPs
Troubleshooter Smart Active Parts are available
to troubleshoot specific PLC units. When an er-
ror occurs in an unit, the Troubleshooter SAP
provides an easy-to-understand explanation of
the cause of the error as well as which counter
measures to take to resolve the error.
In this way you can quickly resolve errors on-
site even without using documentation.
