Delta Ladder Studio turns a plain-English idea — "blink an LED every 10 seconds", "start a conveyor motor with a start and stop button" — into Delta DVP-series ladder logic: a visual ladder diagram, Delta-style mnemonic code, and a documented, copyable export. Prefer precise, manual control instead? Direct instruction sentences (turn on Y0 when X0 is on) work too, line for line.
When this copy is deployed with its serverless backend and an Anthropic API key, your description is sent to a small backend function that asks an AI model (configured by whoever deployed this copy — Claude, ChatGPT, or another provider) to translate it into the app's fixed instruction grammar — the model never invents ladder logic itself, it only phrases your request in a grammar this page already knows how to turn into correct rungs, so the actual logic is still produced by the same deterministic engine either way. If no backend is configured (including this preview), or it's briefly unreachable, generation falls back automatically to a smaller, fully offline pattern matcher built into the page — you'll see a note in the Messages tab when that happens.
Nothing you type is stored by this app. When the AI backend is used, your description is sent only to that backend's configured AI provider (e.g. Anthropic or OpenAI) to be interpreted, exactly like any other API call to that provider — see that provider's usage policies for details.
Delta's own software (WPLSoft/ISPSoft) uses a proprietary project file format that no outside tool can write directly, so treat the export as a reference to key in alongside the visual diagram rather than a native project file.
This is a drafting aid, not a substitute for engineering review — verify generated logic against your process's safety requirements before deploying it to real equipment.
