Overview

Applilet EZ PL is a programming software that can create microcontroller application software easily in a manner similar to solving a puzzle, without using any programming language.

This software allows even users who are unfamiliar with programming languages and do not have knowledge of software development to easily create a variety of microcontroller application software using a graphical user interface (GUI) on a host machine. Applilet EZ PL can also be used to study and evaluate the basic operation of a system that uses a microcontroller.

  • Microcontroller software can be automatically generated simply by combining a logic circuit, electric circuit, and microcontroller function using the GUI.
  • By using in combination with an evaluation board, operation of the created software can be confirmed easily.
  • C language output function is built in (78K0/Kx2 only. For the 78K0S/Kx1+, assembly language is output). Possible to view, edit, and recompile the source file afterwards.
  • Supports a broad range of needs from users just starting to learn about microcontrollers, to students, to expert hardware design engineers.
  • Built-in simulation function enables evaluation to be performed without an actual device.

  • A function equivalent to a flash memory programmer may be included on the target board. Please refer to the board's instruction manual for details.

Operating Environment

Host machine operating environment
Supported operating systemsWindows 2000, Windows XP*
CPUIntel Pentium 300 MHz or higher
RAM128 MB or more

*Notes

  • It is recommended that the latest service pack for the relevant operating system be installed. Windows Vista is currently under evaluation and it is not listed as supported operating system.
  • The minimum requirements for the simulation function are a 1GHz Pentium III CPU, 768 MB of RAM, and a high-speed graphics card.

Operation Overview

In Applilet EZ PL, software can easily be generated using the following procedure.

Panel Types

In Applilet EZ PL, the GUI contains programming elements that have been broken down into small modules called "panels". Software can be generated automatically through logical combination of these panels.

  • Input panels
