to compile the project.
Step 5.
Simulate the project either On-line or Off-line.
Select

operation in the menu. After the project is complied, the Simulator retrieves data from
the PLC through the unit and simulates operation. Before simulation, be sure to connect the unit and the PLC properly
and set the COM port in EasyManager.
Select
Tool|Off-line Simulation
operation in the menu. After the project is complied, the PC simulates the PLC and
emulates operations. The unit does not have to be connected to the PC for this type of simulation.
Hint
: Use this type
of simulation to demonstrate projects.
Using the Simulators before the
project is completely debugged,
saves time by avoiding repeated
downloads.
Step 6.
Download the project
In the menu, select
Tool
|
Download…
to load the image file into the MMI. Before downloading, be sure to set the

This ends the Quick Start section. From here, it is up to you to design the
spectacular window displays that make life easier for your operators.
