2-6 Lesson 1

Don't worry if the circuit diagram suddenly appears empty. This area
is used to display the current state of the circuit diagram when it is
running in the device. More about this later.

First, we need to transfer the circuit diagram to the device, and then
start the device. The Toolbox [1] will help us to do this. Proceed as
follows:

1. Click the Program button in the Toolbox. This will open the

dialog for downloading and uploading the circuit diagram.

2. Click the Download button. The circuit diagram will be

transferred if the device is in Stop status. If this is not the case, a
dialog will appear via which you can stop the device and
proceed with the download process. The Properties field
window [2] shows the progress bar via which you can see the
current status of the data transfer.

Once the download has finished, we can then display the current
status of the circuit diagram, the so-called “Power flow”, in the device:

1. Start the device by clicking the RUN button in the Program

dialog of the Toolbox [1]. Alternatively, you can choose
Communication, Device RUN.

2. Click the Play button

. The power flow will start and the

current states in the device will be displayed.
