Structure in the solution tree

• References

All the libraries required for a TF8040 project are loaded here.

• MAIN POU

The standard project structure is called in the MAIN POU.

This template provides a project structure as an application example with eight levels based on an example from VDI 3814.

• Templates

All templates required to get started are located in this folder. They enable error-free compilation of the PLC project template. Further templates for the implementation of project-specific applications can be found in the Template Repository.

• PLC task

The cycle time of the PLC task is set to 45 ms and should not be set smaller for performance reasons.

Project-specific programming

• Control

Once the project can be compiled without errors, the preparations are complete.

• Import templates

Project-specific programming begins with the integration of templates from the Template Repository.

Now start with the project-specific programming.
