Step 2: Create the circuit diagrams and programming in FluidSIM®
− Launch FluidSIM®
− Double-click with the left mouse button on the FluidSIM® icon to access the start page of
the program.
− Click on "File > New" to open the actual workspace.
Select and place the required components. All required components are located in the com-
ponent library. The library is divided into the following areas:
− Pneumatics
− Electrics
− Digital technology
− EasyPort
− Miscellaneous
In this exercise the required components will be selected from the "Electrics" and "Digital
technology" section of the component library.
Left-click on the appropriate section (this opens the folder) and then left-click and hold on the
desired component symbol. Drag the symbol to the workspace and release the left mouse
button.
The following table provides an overview of some of the components in FluidSIM®.
