4.3 Set up of a new system
After you have decided what physical hardware you will have in your new system you should make a
setup . A setup is a file, which contains all information that is needed for the system to execute its task
properly.
You can create a new setup disconnected on any PC computer. Disconnected means that you are not
connected to the actual hardware. When you are ready to run you set up a PC as console computer (CC)
on the same network as the hardware and connect. Your PC gets in contact with the hardware and
downloads the setup.
Note! You should take as a rule to always create a new setup using the Wizard since it automatically
generates a setup that not only is valid but also contains a PLC program.
4.3.1 Creating a new system using the Set Up Wizard
A wizard will guide you through the creation of a completely new setup. Select menu item File-
New…
A wizard is a set of dialog boxes that will lead you through the creation process. If you change your mind
you can always go back with use of the
Previous button.
Enter a name for the system, the number of stations you will have in it, and for which version you want to
create it. You should choose the same version as the software in the TC you are going to send the setup
to.
Press Next >>. A new dialog box is presented.
