Section 5 Creating a New Project

Throughout the remainder of this chapter, you will create an example project (named QUICKST) by following the steps that are outlined in the text. This sample project is designed to provide an overview of how the PCS works.

The following minimum hardware setup is required to execute the sample project you will create:

one C400 Panel Controller

one 4 x 20 LCD display module

one 16-key Keyblock module

one numeric (12+4) Keyblock module

one PLC capable of Genius communications

Assemble the modules according to the instructions in the PANELWARE™ Hardware Installation User's Manual (GFK-0848) so that the numeric Keyblock module is the one to be connected to the Panel Controller.

Note

Although your hardware configuration may be different than that specified above, creating the example project is still recommended as it will introduce you to the basic techniques you will need to use for any hardware configuration.

To create a new project, access the F1 File menu by pressing either the Alt + F1 or Alt + F key combination. Select the New Project menu option using the cursor keys:

When the New Project option is highlighted inversely within the menu, press ↵ to open the New Project window, in which the project name and the type of Panel Controller to be used are entered.

Use the keyboard to type the desired name of the project (QUICKST) in the current cursor position. Press ↵ to accept the name and the cursor moves to the next line, where the type of controller can be defined.
