Lesson 1
Creating a Pico Project To create a circuit diagram in PicoSoft Pro for a Pico controller, you
first have to create a project. The project consists of the device (e.g.
1760-IB12XOB8) and the associated circuit diagram. You can start a
new project by left-clicking File then New.
The PicoSoft Pro user interface is divided into three sections. The
following figure shows you the user interface in the Project View. This
View consists of a Toolbox [1], a Properties field [2] and the
Workbench [3].
Before we can start wiring up the circuit diagram, we have to select a
device from the Toolbox [1] and add it to the Workbench using drag
and drop. To create a solution for our task definition we need a
1760-L12AWA controller.
We can select this device from the Toolbox in the following way:
1. Clicking the “+” to the left of the heading “1760-L12 Series” will
open the tree structure to show a list of devices in this series.
