3.3 How to compile/write Program

3.3.1 How to Compile/Make

‹ Select menu [Compile]-[Compile, ].

‹ Execute menu [Compile]-[Make, ] to make Execution file.

‹ If you fail to make execution file due to the occurrence of error, modify the program according to the error message
and then run MAKE again.

3-12
Chapter 3. Program example

3.3.2 How to write Program

‹ Check the connection status of GMWIN and PLC before program transfer.
‹ Check whether or not the key mode of PLC is Remote Stop. Not available to write Program on the other key
position
‹ Select menu [Online]-[Connect].
‹ If there is something wrong on PLC, the error/warning information window appears. In this case, delete the cause
of error occurrence first. (refer to CPU manual.)
‹ If connected without error, select [Online]-[Write] to designate the item to write and then click [OK].

‹ At this time, execution file and upload program is transferred to PLC.

3.4 How to run and monitor Program

3.4.1 How to operate Program
‹ After completing the transfer, select menu [Online]-[PLC Mode]-[Run]. At this time, PLC becomes Remote run
mode and starts to operate Program.(if selecting the PLC mode key as “run”, it becomes Local run and also starts
to operate Program.)

3.4.2 How to monitor Program

‹ If selecting menu [Online]-[Monitor On, ], the user can monitor the action status of program through GMWIN.

3.4.3 How to do force variable data

‹ Double click the mouse on the position of switch1 contact and the force variable data dialogue box appears.

3-14
Chapter 3. Program example

‹ Input ‘1’ in the value and click [OK].

‹ If switch 1 is “ON”, it is available to monitor that motor 1 becomes “ON”.

‹ Execute the force input variable for limit switch 1 as the same method to the above.
‹ It is available to monitor that the value of variable ABC_ADD increases 1 by 1 according to the input of variable
ABC from LD program window.

3.5.1 How to make the User defined function/function block

‹ Select menu [Program]-[new Program, ] in the status of open program.

‹ Input the program file name as above and select the language and program type.
- To make the user defined function, it is required to select the program type Fun and input the language and
function block name.
As the output variable is fixed as ‘OUT’ in the function, it is required to select output data type.
- To make the user defined function block, it is required to select the program type FB and input the language and
function name.

Point
In the user defined function, it is NOT available to select the language SFC.

‹ Click [OK] to declare the In/Out variable.

function.

‹ After completing to add In/Out variable, click [Close] and start to write Program.
‹ Write a program of the user defined function/function block as below.
(Refer to 3.2 how to do Programming)

] and start the wizard of the user defined function/function block.

‹ Click [OK] and start F/FB Wizard.

3-19
Chapter 3. Program example

‹ In case of generating new library file, input the library name and click [Next] and start F/FB Wazard.

‹ After selecting ‘whether or not to register’, click [Next].
