Features
Win-GRAF is a powerful SoftLogic development software and PLC-like SoftLogic package that supports IEC 61131-3 Standard Open PLC Languages running on Windows 7 and Windows 8. The Win-GRAF Runtime application can run on any ICP DAS PAC (Programmable Automation Controller) that supports the Win-GRAF, such as the WinCE series WinPAC WP-8xx8 and WP-5xx8, or the WinCE series touch panel ViewPAC VP-25W8 and VP-4138, or the advanced CPU XPAC XP-8xx8-CE6、XP-9xx8-CE6 and XP-8xx8. Using the Win-GRAF software with ICP DAS Win-GRAF PACs, the control/monitor systems can easily implement industrial level of real-time data acquisition and logic control via wiring or wireless network in various industry fields. You can upgrade your existing WinCE 5.0 PACs to have Win-GRAF runtimes within 30 days of purchase.

Win-GRAF PAC Features
Support Soft-GRAF HMI
Soft-GRAF is a free HMI software by ICP DAS.
All WinCE Win-GRAF PACs support Soft-GRAF HMI, including: WP-5xx8, WP-8xx8, VP-25W8,VP-4138, XP-9xx8-CE6 and XP-8xx8-CE6.
Provides various HMI objects, such as Button, Numeric Display, Trends, Angular Gauge, Alarm List, Logger, etc.
Modbus Master Protocol
Multi-port Modbus RTU, ASCII Master, RS-232/485/422.
Modbus TCP Master (Multiple connections).
Connect other Modbus PLC, Modbus Master, Modbus I/O and Modbus devices
Modbus Slave Protocol
Multi-port Modbus RTU Slave, RS-232/485/422.
Modbus TCP Slave (Multiple connections).
Connect PC/SCADA/HMI.
Support File Access & Data Log
Exchange Data between PACs (DCS)
Up to 32 Win-GRAF PACs can use Data Binding to exchange application data and control data to each other.
Support DCON I/O
Support RS-485 Port to connect the ICP DAS I-7000 I/O modules, and I-87K4/5/8/9 Expansion Unit plus
I-87xxxW I/O boards, and RU-87P4/8 Expansion Unit plus I-87xxxW I/O boards.
Support a Variety of I/O Boards
Support I-8xxxW and I-87xxxW I/O boards, such as DI, DO, AI, AO, Relay, AC-IN, Thermister, Thermo Couple,
RTD, Strain Gauge, Encoder, PWM output, Counter, Frequency, etc.
Support Temperature/Humidity Modules
DL-100T485 and DL-100TM485.
Support Retain Variables
WP-8xx8, WP-5xx8, VP-25W8, VP-4138, XP-8xx8-CE6, XP-9xx8-CE6 support retain variables. Suitable to
retain the data changed quickly and frequently.
Protect Application by Own Algorithm
Protect the Win-GRAF application by user-defined algorithm. Even others copy the application to the same
model PAC, as long as he cannot get the source code, can not run the application correctly.
Redundant Solution
XP-8xx8-CE6 and XP-9xx8-CE6 support the Win-GRAF redundant system to achieve the more secure
engineering applications.
Schedule-Control
Support VS 2008/VS 2010 Development:
The Win-GRAF PACs support to use VS 2008 or VS 2010 (VB.net, C#) to develop user own HMI and data management programs, and can exchange variables with the Win-GRAF control programs.
