Compatibility

Compatibility with previous IDEC SmartRelay Hardware series

WindLGC V6 is optimized for IDEC SmartRelay devices of the FL1E series (indicated by the order number).

You can also use the current WindLGC version to create circuit programs for the previous IDEC SmartRelay hardware series. You cannot, however, download programs that use the new SFBs or new SFB parameters to IDEC SmartRelay devices prior to the FL1E series. WindLGC provides a list of hardware that is compatible with your circuit program from the Tools -> Select Hardware menu command. You can download your circuit program to any device in the list.

WindLGC V6 adds reference functionality to many existing SFBs. You cannot download programs that use the new reference parameters to IDEC SmartRelay devices prior to the FL1E series.

You can continue to use the input connectors of some of the IDEC SmartRelay FL1E devices as they were prior to FL1E, that is as inputs. However with the FL1E series, these inputs can also be used for analog inputs or high-speed counters. Existing WindLGC programs that use these connectors as inputs will function in the same way as they did with the FL1D and earlier series. New programs can make use of the new analog inputs and high-speed counters. Refer to your product information and the IDEC SmartRelay manual for detailed information about these modules: FL1E-H12RCE, FL1E-B12RCE, and FL1E-H12SND.

Any differences concerning the operation of WindLGC that are based on differences between the previous series and the current IDEC SmartRelay series FL1E are described separately. If programming differences exist based on the IDEC SmartRelay series, this help system uses this graphic to alert you to those differences:

Compatibility with previous versions of WindLGC

You can edit and expand circuit programs written with older versions of WindLGC using your current WindLGC version.

Compatibility with previous IDEC SmartRelay memory cartridges

Refer to the IDEC SmartRelay manual for compatibility information regarding IDEC SmartRelay memory cartridges. WindLGC does not access programs stored on memory cartridges).
