CHAPTER 2 – Quick Start Guide
A description of each object in the hierarchy and their associated context menus is provided as follows:
Diagram Workspace
The Diagram Workspace can display a Ladder program, the symbol table of that program, the Mnemonics view
and the I/O Comment view. The details displayed depend upon the selection made in the project workspace.
When a new project is created or a new PLC added to a project, an empty Ladder program is automatically
displayed on the right-hand side to the project workspace. The symbol table, the Mnemonics view and the I/O
Comment view must be explicitly selected to be displayed. All views can be opened at the same time and can be
selected via options associated with the Window menu.
The Ladder program graphically represents the PLC power flow from left to right and the program sequence
from top to bottom.
PLC program instructions can be entered as a graphical representation in Ladder form. Programs can be created,
edited and monitored in this view.
