12.5 Going online and loading the program onto the PLC
In order to be able to load a program onto the PLC and display and monitor
the states of a running program, the programming system must go online
with the PLC.
Before that, we will be creating a small sample program for our sample proj-
ect. The program will set the outputs on the XN-322-16DO-P05 and read the
inputs on the XN-322-4AI-PTNI.
The following screenshot shows one possible small sample program:
