Programming

Create a program. This section describes how to create a program using the following program example.
Program example
• When Start1 turns on, Timer1 starts counting, and Lamp1 turns on.
• When the current value of Timer1 reaches 1000, Lamp1 turns off.
• When Stop1 turns on, Lamp1 turns off.

Registering labels

Label is a variable whose name and data type can be declared by a user.
Use of labels allows programming without being aware of devices and buffer memory addresses. For this reason, programs
using labels can be used in other systems where the module configuration is different.
Labels can be registered on the label editor.
