How to create a program
1.
Follow the wizard to configure communication
settings from the personal computer to the
programmable controller. (For some controllers,
settings are configured only using the program,
without using any wizard.) In the wizard, configure
necessary settings such as a logical station
number, connection module type, and connection
destination programmable controller.
2.
Paste the ACT control icon onto the form. Then set
the logical station number set in Step 1 to the
control as its property.
