Hi, complete novice here. GXDeveloper:
I work in a test facility controlled by Q-series PLC.
I want to do some self-training on ladder logic.
If I write an example small piece of ladder logic and convert it and write it to the PLC CPU (as per the training material), will it overwrite the PLC software that's already on there that controls the rig?
Daft question, I know, but I want to make sure the rig doesn't grind to a halt because I wrote some small code. Obviously I will give my code/project a different name to the rig control software.
How can I run a software simulator to see what happens i.e. lamps going on/off, timers and counters incrementing etc.?
Thanks
