How It Works!

1 Build a configuration
In this step, you use AnchorPAW to define the nodes where you are running AnchorPAW and AnchorPLC, define the hardware interfaces AnchorPLC uses, and define a project - the software environment AnchorPLC runs.
2 Build a ladder
The ladder can be as simple or complex as you like. Your entire control algorithm can be in ladder logic, or your ladder can simply call a single structured text function block which contains your control scheme. Of course, any combination between these extremes can be built.
3 Compile the project
This translates your ladder(s), structured text function block(s), task(s), and global data into a layer file that AnchorPLC can run. Some very complex projects may take three or four minutes to compile.
4 Run the project
When you click the RUN button, AnchorPAW downloads the layer file to AnchorPLC; AnchorPLC automatically starts your application when the load completes. Some very complex projects may take as long as 30 seconds to download over Ethernet.
