Creating a graphical program
This chapter introduces the basics of Tracer graphical programming
(TGP). Graphical programming consists of drawing a picture that repre-
sents data and logic.
Before you start to write a program, configure the inputs and outputs. For
more information on configuring the inputs and outputs, see Chapter 3,
“Configuring the Tracer MP580/581.” For more information on setting up
the wiring, see the Tracer MP581 Programmable Controller Hardware
Installation guide (CNT-SVN01B-EN).
Creating a new program
When the editor opens, a new, blank program appears. If a program is
already open, or you want to open a new program, save the current pro-
gram and then choose New from the File menu. A blank program appears
in the design space (Figure 43 on page 72).
Opening an existing program
To open an existing program:
1. From the File menu, choose Open. The Open dialog box appears.
2. Select the program you want to open.
3. Click Open. The program opens in the design space (Figure 50).

Note:
Only one program can be open in the TGP editor at a time.
