Chapter 5: Developing Controller Programs

Once you have your machine control system designed and your I/O selected and
installed, you can proceed with developing the control program itself. Program
development is done using the PointeControl Framework application that was
installed on your PC from the PointeControl software CD. You can launch the
PointeControl Framework from the Windows Start menu by choosing Start >
Programs > PointeControl > Framework.

Please note that this chapter primarily describes how to develop programs for a
single Pointe Controller unit. For more information on developing distributed
applications, including enabling Modbus communications and adding remote
terminal units (RTUs), please refer to Chapter 8, “Networked Operations,”
starting on page 216.

TIP: The information provided in this chapter is also available via the
PointeControl Framework online help. To access the help, choose Contents from
the Framework’s Help menu.
