TRiLOGI (Evaluation, 420K)
Version 3.3 - For E10 and H-series
Version 4.1 - For T100MD+ and T100MX+ PLCs (Date stamp: Aug 15 1999)
The industry most user-friendly Ladder Logic Editor + Simulator Software
is available for FREE downloading here! This
highly acclaimed PLC software has been used by many companies, colleges and technical
institutes in many countries to train new users on ladder logic programming , including
Australian RMIT, TAFE and Old Dominion University of the USA (which provides on-line PLC
programming courses) as well as the polytechniques in Singapore, Malaysia, etc. It is the
only free ladder logic software which allow real-time, off-line simulation of users
program on the fly on any IBM compatible PCs! This makes it a highly productive tool for
new users or students to learn ladder logic programming without having to fight for often
limited "PLC training station". It is thus possible for the trainer to set
more challenging problems and can test the students' solution easily with the help of the
simulator.Click here for more description about this
software.

Comments:
"I use TriLOGI in the college
classroom. I have each student download and install TriLOGI on their home computer, and I
then give them programming assignments to do at home. They individually write, run and
debug their PLC programs, and then email their program files to me for testing and
grading. Since TriLOGI will simulate PLC operation off-line, each student is able to
obtain hands-on programming and debugging experience without having to wait for their turn
on an expensive laboratory PLC. The students enjoy using TriLOGI because they can see
their programs run at home without loading them into an actual PLC, it is easy to learn,
and the cost for the off-line version is zero."

Notes to Professors: A Free TRiLOGI
software for Every Student!!
We welcome any technical institutes and colleges to use the
TRiLOGI software to train students on ladder logic programming at no charge at all!
We only request that you email to us at: support@tri.com.sg
to inform us that you will be providing a link to our website at: http://www.tri-plc.com
so that the students can download the TRiLOGI software from
our webpage to do their homework! Suggestions and feedback on our products will be
greatly appreciated. Please tell your friends and colleages about the program if you enjoy
using it.

The software is actually an evaluation version of our TRiLOGI
Ladder Logic Editor, Simulator and Downloader software used for programming our entire
range of Programmable Controllers. The only difference being that the evaluation version
does not support communication with the actual PLC, which is NOT needed at all for
simulation test of the ladder program.
I. Evaluation version of TRiLOGI -
Features and Restrictions
The evaluation version is almost identical to the
fully-functional version except with some modifications being made to the communication
modules. You can create and save ladder logic program, simulate and test them thoroughly
as though programming for a real-world PLC application. The only restriction is that the
created programs cannot be transferred to the target PLCs using the evaluation version of
TRiLOGI.
However, because users who are using the
evaluation version of TRiLOGI usually means that they have not yet purchased the PLC,
communication with the target PLC such as "Program Transfer", "On-Line
Monitoring" etc cannot be performed in any case. Hence in the evaluation copy of
TRiLOGI these functions are not truely implemented. Instead the users is presented with a
mock-up display on screen to demonstrate what will happen when the actual target PLC is
connected and the relevant command is executed. Despite the restrictions, the evaluation
version of TRiLOGI is itself a great learning and simulation tool for new or experienced
Ladder-Logic programmers alike who are able to quickly test out their ladder programs
without connecting a single wire!
II. Installing TRiLOGI Software
The evaluation version of TRiLOGI software is available here
for free downloading. You are reminded to read our copyright notice pertaining to the
downloading of copyrighted materials.
Please click at EITHER ONE
of the following links:
1) Self-Extracting ZIP file (unzip in Windows 3.1 or Windows
95/98 only) - TLEVAL.EXE . Enter
the drive or directory you wish to install TRiLOGI evaluation program(default is
"c:\tleval" ) and click "unzip".
OR
2) Compressed ZIP file (run in DOS) - The TRiLOGI
(evaluation) software is compressed into a ZIP file - TLEVAL.ZIP
and you can download this file into a temporary directory and unzip it using one of the
popular unzip software. Two files will be extracted:
At the DOS prompt, enter the command "INSTALL C:"
to install the TRiLOGI software to drive C: (or any other disk drive letter). A new
directory: "TLEVAL" will be created on the disk together with other
sub-directories.
III. Running TRiLOGI (Evaluation)
At the DOS prompt, type "TL"
followed by the <Enter> key to start the program. Three versions of the programs are
provided:
- Version 3.3E - Exclusively for the E10 PLCs
- Version 3.3 - For all the H-series PLCs.
- Version 4.1 - For all the T100MX family of Super PLCs.
You will be prompted to select the the PLC type from the
menu. Alternatively, you may start the relevant version of TRiLOGI program directly by
running the following batch files:
- E10 (Version 3.3E) : TLE.BAT
- H-series PLC (Version 3.3): TLH.BAT
- T100MD/ T100MX PLC(Version 4.1): TLM.BAT
IV. TRiLOGI Programmer's Reference Guide
Although it is only a DOS based program, TRiLOGI's
extensive use of pull-down menu, pop-up windows and on-line, context-sensitive help system
make it the most user-friendly relay-ladder program editor on the market today. We have
made available the TRiLOGI Programmer's Reference Part One and Two for downloading
from this website.
Part One is the Ladder Logic portion of the TRiLOGI software
which is applicable to all our PLCs from E10 to T100MD1616+. Part Two is devoted to
the TBASIC programming language that is only applicable for the M-series PLCs run TRiLOGI
Version 4.1. Both documents are stored in the popular Adobe Acrobat PDF format for
downloading from the link below.
