Generating PLC and HMI projects

You can use MTP Engineering to generate a PLC project and an HMI project from the objects in the module definition.

You can integrate these projects into an existing project or generate a new project. You can select the existing projects in the module properties under PLC Reference or HMI Reference.

Generating PLC and HMI projects 1:
1. Generate/integrate the PLC template (using the TF8400 MTP Runtime).
2. Activate the PLC project.
3. Generate/integrate the HMI project. (using the TwinCAT HMI Process Library)
By activating the PLC project beforehand, the HMI controls are automatically mapped to the function blocks in the PLC.
4. Use the Live View connection to test the project
5. Transfer the HMI project.
The Live View connection for operating the project has been created
6. Use the runtime connection to operate the project.
