Choose
FILE>NEW and give your new project a Program Title. Choose the Type of
ELC Processor you’ll use and create a File Name under which the project will be
saved.
TIP: If you select VIEW>WORKSPACE once you have created the new file, an
overview of the project in treeview format will appear on the left of the page. This
is a great help in understanding the “big picture” as you program.
TIP: All Exercises in this Basic Training will take place in Ladder Diagram Mode. Any
screenshots you see will have that window maximized.
