Programs

Programs form the base unit of the LogicPro development
environment. Programs are defined in IEC 1131-3 as logical
assemblies of all the programming language elements and
constructs necessary for the intended signal processing
needed to control a machine or process by a programmable
controller system.

One or more Programs can be contained within a Resource.
Within each Program, there may be any number (including
zero) of steps, actions, relay elements, or function blocks.

While you can write multiple Programs for each controller,
only one Program can actually run on the Resource at any
time.
