General proceedings to program PLCs

Apart from creating a new Solution, which is necessary for any other activity, the order of the steps to follow is up to the user. However, the most common way is described below.

Start the engineering of one or more PLCs by creating a new Solution

Add one or more PLCs to the Solution\\

Assign platform parameters to the PLC

Add a communication channel to the PLC and set its communication parameters

Add communication elements to the channel

Add communication parameters to the elementsDefining of HW variables for a communication channel

Create a project, add references\\

Create global variables, pam them on physical variables\\

Create a program in Fupla (in ST)

Define task(s) of the controller\\

Upload project to controller\\

Of course, do not forget to compile the solution every time the data structure changes (new variable, variable type change, new reference etc.).
