– Click, hold the left mouse button and drag the OTE (output energized) instruction onto the right side of the rung until you see a green box. When you see the green box, release the mouse button. With the instruction highlighted Type O:0/2. This is the address of the OTE instruction.
– There are two types of verify. The first one verifies the file you are in and only that file. The second verifies all the files created or the total project created. Because this program only resides in one file we will use the first one. – Click on the “Verify file” button – When the verify is completed and no errors are found all program edit markers will disappear and no errors found is displayed at the bottom. – Go to next step if errors are found. 22
Verify your work 23.If Program has errors – To find the errors in the program click on the error message in the “Verify results window” the error is then highlighted in the ladder window. – Fix the error and run “Verify file” again. – When all the errors are fixed you can then save and download the program.

Notice that some of the instructions have the same
descriptions. This is because the descriptions are link to the address of each instruction.
Save your work 27. Save your work – Click on the “Save” button – Click “Ok” for Revision note box. The revision note box is used to keep track of changes made to the existing program. You can create many revisions of the same program. This feature can be disabled if desired.

– 31.Put the Micro into RUN
– Click on the down arrow next to the word REMOTE PROG – Three Run selections – “Run” Controller “scans” the program – “Test Continuos” – Outputs are disabled – “Test Single Scan” – One scan cycle with outputs disabled – Select “Run” – Select “Yes” for “Are you sure window
32.Test your program using
the switches and lights. Does it work the way you expect it to?
Monitor the Controller With the controller in “Remote Run”, you can monitor or edit data within the controller. This allows: Program debugging Change data variables while in run
When “Green” bars are shown on
either side of logic elements, this indicates “Logical Continuity”, this helps to determine how the application is operating. This design is to help in debugging an applications logic.
will turn ON, disable button and output #0 will turn OFF. This output is dependent on the input condition.
RUNG 1-Press input button #2 (start
button), output #1 will latch ON. Press input button #1 (stop button) will turn OFF output #1. This is a simple motor control circuit. This circuit utilizes both AND and OR placement of instructions.
RUNG 2- The two inputs on rung 2 are
conditions of rungs 0 and 1. The output (output #2) is a condition of the two inputs. So each outputs of rungs 0 and 1 must be true to turn on output #2. This circuit utilizes AND placement of instructions.
