Creating project "Counter"

Create the project after you have started logi.CAD 3:

  1. In menu File or from the context menu within the project explorer, select New and Project...

  2. In the dialog, expand logi.CAD 3 Sample Projects for Built-In PLC, select the project template Counter (ST) or Counter (FBD)and click Next >.

  3. On the next page, enter the project name Counter, uncheck Use default location and enter a location outside the workspace, then click Finish

    No blanks or special characters in project name and location

    Make sure that there are no blanks or special characters (such as umlauts, e.g. ä, ö, ü) in a project name and in the installation path. If anyway, logi.CAD 3 will not be able to load the application onto the PLC.
    For the paths and project names, letters A – Z or a – z, numbers 0 – 9, dots (character .), underlines (character _) and dashes (character -) are allowed. Examples for allowed project names: my.projectmy-project, my_Project_01

    Result: The project is displayed within the project explorer. The existing ST-object program (in folder src) already contains a sample programming.

Continue with: Entering ST-code for programming.
