  2. How to download a program to the controller

  3. Program simulation and monitoring modes

    To check that a program will execute what the user wants, and before downloading it to a controller, it is possible to simulate the execution of the program.

    After creating a diagram in the wiring sheet (Edit window), its execution can be checked using Simulation and Monitoring modes.

    Digital data can only have two states: ON or OFF. During simulation and monitoring modes, the states of the outputs of the function blocks placed on the simulation window and the monitoring window are indicated as ON or OFF.

  5. How to draw

    To create shapes such as squares, ellipses, lines, images or "text", simply select the shape you wish to draw (in the Draw menu or using the icons in the toolbar) and draw the shape in the coloured field in the edit or supervision windows.
    It is possible to change the line width (3 widths), the colour of the lines and the colour of the background.
    To add text to a "text" type object, position the shape on the draw field using the Draw | Text menu, then double-click on it.
