Creating an IEC project

INFORMATION

For detailed information on IEC project generation, refer to the "MOVISUITE® IEC project creation" manual.

If all components used, such as user units, safety cards, fieldbus, process data length and offset of the MOVIKIT® software modules, are configured in MOVISUITE®, a suitable, executable IEC project is created during code generation. In this IEC project, you can access the functionalities of the MOVIKIT® software module and the safety card without further IEC programming.

Proceed as follows:

  • You have configured the components used in MOVISUITE®.
  1. Start the IEC Editor with a newly generated (or existing) project.
    • A message about the used compiler version is displayed.
  2. You must keep the current compiler version. Click the [Cancel] button in the message window.
    • A new IEC Editor project is created. The device topology is shown in the device tree.
  3. Search the network and accept the controller found. If the controller is not found, enter the IP address of the controller in the IP address field.
  4. Once the connection to the controller is established, compile the IEC program and transfer it to the controller.
  5. Start the IEC program.
    • The devices in the device tree are marked by a green circle. The green circle indicates fault-free function of the fieldbus option but does not indicate the state of communication between the controller and the PLC.
  6. Create a boot project. This way, the IEC Editor project is stored on the memory card of the controller and is still available after a restart of the controller.
  • The controller can now be integrated into the PROFINET network in the engineering tool of the PLC.
