4. INITIAL PROGRAMMING
Figure 31: Source code download
Transferring the source code is fundamental to ensure the future restoration of the project and to perform modifications on
the application that is loaded into the device.
4.8. Run Mode
Right after the project has been sent to the CPU, the application will not be immediately executed (except for the case of
an online change). For that to happen, the command Start must be executed. This way, the user can control the execution of
the application sent to the CPU, allowing pre-configuring initial values which will be used by the CPU on the first execution
cycle.
To execute this command, simply go to the Debug menu and select the option Start, as shown on figure below.
Figure 32: Starting the Application
The figure below shows the application in execution. In case the POU tab is selected, the created variables are listed on a
monitoring window, in which the values can be visualized and forced by the user.
