8 First Project

8.1 Overview

This section describes how a project is created for the slot PLC. It is assumed that the hardware (slot PLC) and software already is installed.

Additionally a PROFIBUS-DP slave device and a PROFIBUS cable are needed.

If the project is loaded via USB into the slot PLC, then a USB cable with type A to type mini B is needed.

An important note in advance:

Important: The name of the application has to be reduced. The name of the application can have 7 characters as maximum. The target device supports the MS-DOS file format 8.3 and no long file names. Application names with more than 7 characters can not

be started in the target device.

The eights character is used internally and therefore is reserved.

Variable var1 is incremented each PLC cycle.

%QB1 := var1;

The value of variable var1 is written to the output byte %QB1. opc_ib0 := %IB0; und opc_ib1 := %IB1; Input bytes %IB0 and %IB1 are copied to the variables opc_ib0 and

opc_ib1. This is the preparation, that the OPC server can access to the input data.

%QB0 := opcqb0;
