Appendix: Tutorial - creating an
IEC project
This tutorial describes step-by-step how a MotionCenter project is created and pro-
grammed. Then, it illustrates how the project is uploaded onto a control and exe-
cuted.
18.1
Creating a new project
Start MotionCenter and call the command
Datei > Neues Projekt
the main menu.
Fig. 18.23:

In the "New Project" dialog, select an empty project and enter a name and a location
to save the project:
Fig. 18.24:
Creating a new project
MotionCenter automatically creates the project in the indicated directory and issues
the addition "
.project
".
The empty project opens and a target system can be inserted into the project tree. To
do this, open the context menu of the project in the project tree and click on "Append
Device...". This opens a dialog to select a control. The desired control is highlighted
in this dialog and added to the project via "Append Device" or by double-clicking on it.
After that, the dialog can be closed.
A program module can then be created in the project tree under the
<Project name>
> SPS logic > Application
node. To do this, open the context menu for the node
Ap-
plication
and select
Add object > POU...
.
