• A correctly compiled PLC project and a .tpy file.
Proceed as follows:
1. Switch back to the System Manager window.
2. Right-click on
PLC – Configuration
in the tree view on the left.
3. In the context menu click on
Append PLC Project
.
4. Select a file with the extension .tpy in your system directory and confirm with
OK
.
The PLC project is added in the tree view under PLC – Configuration. The variables defined in the
project are shown under the inputs and outputs.
In the next step you can link the variables with the hardware.
