5 This chapter briefly introduces the use of our PLC programming software (PLC editor2) to write a simple PLC control program and programming operations to help beginners get familiar with and master the operation of our programming software as soon as possible. The following are the development steps of PLC:
6
7 * Step 1: Start our PLC editor2 and enter the programming window.
8 * Step 2: Click "New" to pop up the "New Project" window, and set "PLC Series", "PLC Type" and "Program Language".
9 * Step 3: Click "Program" in the "Project Management" area to start writing the ladder diagram program.
10 * Step 4: Add instructions.
11 * Step 5: Save the program project (when the program has a specified save path, the software will save the current program regularly).
12 * Step 6: Compile the program.
13 * Step 7: Establish a communication connection with PLC.
14 * Step 8: Download the program to the PLC.
15 * Step 9: Start the PLC (RUN state).

1126
1127 After selecting the cell, click "Ladder Symbol" in the menu, and enter the operand in the pop-up ladder diagram input box to complete the instruction input. If it is an application instruction, after clicking [[image:5V帮助文档_中性_html_1c8d975fb5bd8c.png]] on the panel, you must input the complete application instruction and its operands in the ladder diagram input box to complete the input instruction. You can also use the shortcut corresponding to the command (see the shortcut key list) to input, and the operation method is the same as the "ladder symbol".
1128
1129 After the instruction input is completed, click the "Execute" button in the ladder diagram input box and it will be displayed in the ladder diagram editing area.
1130
1131 **✎Note: **
1132
1133 1. Some instructions can only be input in the instruction list (IL) editor, but not in the ladder diagram, such as MPS, MPP, etc. When these instructions are directly input in the ladder diagram, no components will be generated.
1134 1. Since coils and application instructions represent the end of one line of the ladder diagram program, no other components can be input after these components.
1135 1. Since the vertical line occupies the space of two lines, when inputting the vertical line, if the corresponding position in the next line is just the middle part of other components, the vertical line cannot be input.
1136 1. The maximum number of input columns in the ladder diagram is 13 columns.
