3.4 Communication with virtual PLC
This chapter explains how to write your programs to the virtual PLC and how to confirm the

3.4.1 Write to PLC
"Writing to PLC" means to transfer programs to the virtual PLC. After writing programs to the
virtual PLC, you can operate the machines in the simulation as well as the lamps on the
operation panel.
1) Write a program, and convert it.
2) Select "Online"
→
"Write to PLC". (Or you can use the remote control.)
The ’Write to PLC’ dialog box is displayed, and you can check the writing status there. (If the
virtual PLC is in RUN mode, it is automatically and writing is executed.)
3) When writing is completed, the dialog box ’Write completed. The simmulation will start!’ is
displayed.
Click the [OK] button to run the virtual PLC.
