PLC engineering programming editor with support for .poe, .awl, .scl, and many other .exp file types. Compact and easy to use.
PLCEdit is a fantastic free source code editor that is a must-have for anyone involved in PLC programming. The software is capable of reading and editing POU files that are compatible with Moeller SucoSoft and XSoft, CoDeSys export files, and Siemens IL and SCL sources. The program also supports POU sources including PRG, FB, Functions, and Global Variable lists, in accordance with the IEC61131-3 standard.
With PLCEdit, creating different types of files such as function block, function, program, and global variable list is a breeze. The software has been developed with a platform independent development environment, which means it is compatible with Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, and Linux.
Although PLCEdit is an excellent program, there are a few known issues that users should be aware of. Sucosoft files contain an incorrect checksum, which is a minor problem that Sucosoft accepts. The syntax highlighter also does not mark inline comments in a major comment, and on Mac OS 10.5.x, fast resizing the application could sometimes cause it to freeze. This issue is due to the metal styled toolbar from Qt 4.3 and Qt4.4 on Mac OS 10.5.5 and up.
Overall, PLCEdit is an exceptional program that offers an unbeatable combination of features, flexibility, and ease of use. Anyone who is looking for a reliable and efficient source code editor for PLC programming should definitely give PLCEdit a try.
