Sucosoft S30-S316 is a legacy programming software suite primarily used for configuring and programming older Klöckner-Moeller (now Eaton) Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), specifically the PS3 series
Hardware Support
: Primarily for the PS3-AC, PS3-DC, and PS316.
: Originally designed for MS-DOS (Version 3.3 or higher), requiring at least 640 KB of RAM.
Sucosoft-s30-s316
In essence, is the version of Lenze’s IDE (Integrated Development Environment) tailored for engineers who need more than basic PLC logic—it is for those requiring precise, multi-axis synchronous motion.
Sucosoft S30 / S316 — Quick Overview & Highlights
- Use symbolic axis names – Instead of hardcoded node IDs (e.g.,
Axis_Conveyor1 instead of CAN_Node_5).
- Separate motion logic from HMI logic – Put S316 blocks in fast tasks (1-2 ms) and HMI updates in slow tasks (50 ms).
- Document cam tables – Add comments inside the cam editor explaining master range and slave acceleration limits.
- Regular backups – Use Sucosoft’s Archive function (File → Archive) to zip entire projects.
- Test with virtual axes – Use the integrated simulation (without hardware) to validate S316 logic before commissioning.
-
- LED Status Bar: Simple visual indication of current, torque, and faults.
- Potentiometers (S30): Manual dials for voltage ramp and current limit (no software needed).
- LCD Display (S316): Real-time current readout, fault history log, and parameter editing.
- Self-Diagnostics: Identifies open gate signals or missing mains phases.
