Libraries

Introduction

Libraries provide functions, function blocks, data types and global variables that can be used to develop your project.

The Library Manager of EcoStruxure Machine Expert provides information about the libraries included in your project and allows you to install new ones. For more information on the Library Manager, refer to the Functions and Libraries User Guide. For more information about the libraries compatible with your controller, refer to the EcoStruxure Machine Expert Libraries Overview.

Modicon M262 Logic/Motion Controller

When you select a Modicon M262 Logic/Motion Controller for your application, EcoStruxure Machine Expert automatically loads the following libraries:

Library name

Description

Breakpoint Logging Functions (1)

Provides functions which can be used in Breakpoints for logging.

DeviceAbstractionLayer (1)

Interfaces and parameters of functionalities which are exposed by device objects.

DeviceIntegrationCommon (1)

Common functionalities shared by many devices (reserved for internal use only).

Diagnostic Device Support

Provides function blocks (reserved for internal use only) for devices to provide diagnostic information to the system diagnostic component on Schneider Electric controllers.

IoStandard

Library for the IO-configuration. This library provides the I/O interface for every IEC I/O driver.

M262 PLCSystem

M262 system functions and variables.

M262MotionExtension (1)

Exposes the on-board encoder input and touch-probe functionalities of an M262 to the controller application (reserved for internal use only).

MotionInterface (1)

Low level access for motion control.

PLCCommunication

Management of explicit data exchanges between controller and devices through Modbus or ASCII protocols.

PLCopen MC part 1 (1)

Motion control according to PLCopen Motion Control Part 1 v2.0 (formerly parts 1 and 2).

Relocation Table

Allows you to optimize exchanges between the Modbus client and the controller, by regrouping non-contiguous data into a contiguous table of registers. See Relocation Table.

SerialLineSystem

Provides serial line diagnostics data.

Standard

Contains IEC programming standard functions and function blocks.

TM3System

Contains functions and function blocks for TM3 I/O bus diagnostic information.

TMSSystem

Contains the function block and enumerated types for TMS I/O bus diagnostic information.

UserFunctionsBase (1)

Core implementation for exposing device functionalities to the controller application.

Util

Programming additional functions and function blocks: Analog Monitors, BCD Conversions, Bit/Byte Functions, Controller Datatypes, Function Manipulators, Mathematical Functions, Signals.

(1) Compatible with TM262M• references only.
