The start menu contains the following actions:
| • | Simulation with PLC option (active = with communication to PLC) |
| • | Build |
| • | Download |
| • | Page Designer |
Simulation saves modified worksheets automatically and starts WinEPAM. (see also Project Settings - Simulation)
The application can then be tested on the development PC.
If the PLC option is active, communication to the PLC is activated according to the communication settings. (this function depends on the communication driver in use)
Build saves all worksheets, compiles and tests the entire project.
Download saves the modified worksheets automatically and carries out a project download to the target system or a local directory.
The download to the device is carried out via Ethernet and FTP. For this the device must be connected to the development PC and the FTP server must be configured accordingly (see also WindowsCE device description or system description).
