In industrial automation control systems, the ease of programming and the completeness of software functions when using PLC products are key factors affecting project development efficiency.
Have you encountered the following situations during the research and development of automated equipment:
1. Traditional PLCs have low execution efficiency, resulting in equipment efficiency falling short of expectations.
2. High cost of electronic control systems, making cost reduction difficult.
3. Manufacturers are slow to respond to demands, resulting in a poor user experience.
4. Equipment debugging is difficult, and there is a lack of visual debugging tools.
5. Programming software is difficult to learn and requires a significant investment of learning time.
6. Inadequate motion control functionality makes some processes difficult to implement.
In response to the various difficulties encountered by engineers, Leadsun Intelligent, after extensive market research and in-depth analysis of user needs, launched the LeadStudio small-scale PLC programming platform. Unlike our LeadSys Studio software platform, LeadStudio is currently primarily used in pulse-type PLC products. As a software platform completely independently developed by Leadsun, LeadStudio not only boasts a small software size and fast installation, but also adapts to users' customized needs for programming software and runtime, as well as their ever-increasing safety requirements.
LeadSys Studio
LeadSys Studio is a full-featured programming platform for large, medium, and small PLCs. It supports six programming languages, features industrial buses such as EtherCAT and CANopen, and boasts powerful motion control capabilities to meet diverse customer requirements.
LeadStudio
LeadStudio is Leadsun's programming platform for pulse-type small PLCs. The software uses a compiled architecture, supports ladder logic and ST programming languages, and is compatible with traditional PLC ladder logic programming conventions. It also features comprehensive motion control functions, helping users quickly complete the development of automated equipment. LeadStudio—born to improve equipment operating efficiency and technical safety.
Execution efficiency increased by 80 times
Highly efficient instruction execution speed, employing a compiled architecture, with instruction execution speed approximately 80 times faster than traditional interpreted PLCs.
A flexible multi-task management system allows for the free allocation of task execution methods and frequencies according to needs, thereby improving the utilization of system resources.
Improve development efficiency
It supports full keyboard programming, is compatible with traditional ladder diagram programming habits, and also supports inserting ladder diagram elements with a single key, effectively improving user programming efficiency and ease of use, and significantly reducing the user's learning cost.
Supports debugging functions such as TRACE, breakpoints, and simulation, making program debugging easy.
Supports Chinese character programming and uses the LeadStudio platform for programming, resulting in more readable user programs.
It supports user-defined function blocks (FB/FC) and also supports encapsulating user libraries, improving code security and avoiding "reinventing the wheel," thus increasing program development efficiency.
Simpler operation and control
It supports motion control compliant with PLCOpen, supports standard single-axis motion commands, and also supports motion commands such as interrupted fixed-length and magnification adjustment.
Supports transition mode settings, with continuous speed and improved action rhythm.
By setting the transition mode appropriately, positioning time can be reduced by about 30% when locating the same target distance. At the same time, since there is no need to accelerate again from a stop, device jitter is effectively reduced.
Supports PLCOpen Part4 axis group functionality, enabling single-segment and continuous (up to 8-segment buffer) two-axis linear and circular interpolation.
It supports interrupt tasks, probes, high-speed comparison output, and other functions, enabling high-speed signal capture and output processing, helping users achieve complex motion control processes.

Improve code security
LeadStudio not only supports project encryption, but also data protection for individual POUs. It allows for security control over copying, displaying, and modifying data, providing more flexible data protection and greater security for user code.
Customer feedback
A non-standard automation engineer
Our equipment has a requirement to control the turntable's forward and reverse rotation based on feedback analog data during the rotation process. The displacement adjustment is very small each time, and it may take 24 hours or longer to complete one rotation. The minimum output frequency of the PLC used in the old solution cannot meet the requirements, and the algorithm is not flexible enough when writing it.
LeadStudio Solution Advantages:
01
LeadStudio platform products support pulse output frequencies as low as 1Hz, easily achieving low-frequency output control.
02
The LeadStudio platform supports the ST programming language, which makes algorithm implementation more efficient and intuitive compared to traditional ladder diagram programming. It also provides a basic algorithm library, making it simpler and easier to use.
03
The LeadStudio platform offers a Trace function, which enables data visualization during device debugging, making it more intuitive.
04
It supports analog signal modules, enabling analog signal acquisition.
Value brought to customers:
1►
Meets low-frequency output requirements and addresses pain points of older solutions.
2►
Equipment development efficiency increased by 50%.
3►
The algorithm is flexible in implementation and easier to modify.
An engineer in the electronics industry
Our equipment already has mature solutions, but with the changes in the market environment, the efficiency of the old solutions can no longer meet the needs of customers. Our main needs are: localization, efficiency improvement compared to current products, and easy-to-use programming software with low learning costs.
LeadStudio Solution Advantages:
01
LeadStudio platform, as a self-developed product of Leadsun Intelligent, is completely independent and controllable.
02
Compared to interpreted PLCs, LeadStudio, which uses a compiled architecture, reduces the original 5ms scan cycle of user programs to less than 1ms.
03
LeadStudio platform offers a more user-friendly ladder diagram programming language. In addition to supporting traditional ladder diagram programming methods, it also supports quick operations such as drag-and-drop and single-key programming.
Value brought to customers:
1►
The equipment operating efficiency has increased from the original 47K/H to 60K/H.
2►
Assisting clients in achieving domestic substitution
3►
Get started with LeadStudio software in 1 hour, effectively reducing the learning curve.
