4 Quickstart
4.1 Getting Help
Currently a non-dynamic version of online help is installed. By default it can be
accessed via the 'Help' menu. The language in which the help pages are displayed can
be changed in the Options / International Settings dialog.
Context sensitive help
Short Cut: <F1>
You may press <F1> in within an active window, a dialogue or on a menu command to
open the online help.
If a menu command is selected, the corresponding help page will be displayed.
Likewise, if <F1> is executed on a selected text (for example a key word, a basic
function or an error message within the message window), the corresponding help
page will be displayed.
4.2 Uninstallation, Update, Repair
To uninstall the programming system and its additional components or to modify the
current installation execute the current setup file. You will be guided.
4.3 Create and run a project
See in the following a description of how to create a simple project containing a PLC
program, further how to load this program via a Gateway Server to the PLC (target
device) and to get it run and monitored. The PLC runtime system used for this example
project by default is provided with the PLC Designer setup.
The sample program will be written in Structured Text language and consist of a
program PLC_PRG and a function block FB1. PLC_PRG will contain a counter variable
ivar and call function block FB1; FB1 will get input "in" from PLC_PRG, will add "2" on
this input and will write the result to an output out; out will be read by PLC_PRG.
Notice that the following descriptions refer on the default configuration of the user
interface provided with the currently installed version of the programming system.
Note: If your system supports PLC Designer-SoftMotion, regard the description of
some sample projects within the help pages on the SoftMotion device editor.
