Introduction
This tutorial explains how to build an application by using the Winproladder programming package to write a ladder control program. In this tutorial we will not tackle the advanced features of WinProladder, only the basic operations needed to build a simple application will involved. Hope this will lead the user into the world of WinProladder with less efforts.
Description of sample program
The application we will build in this tutorial is described as below: Write a control program to generate a moving LED pattern by using the output indicators. The time chart of output is shown below
At first Y0 will be 'on' for one second. After that Y1 will also 'on'. This will cycle to Y2 then Y . After Y7 is 'on', the next time all output will all be 'off' for second. This procedures will repeat again as described above. The corresponding control ladder program is shown at below:
The content of element comment will be built is shown below
